If you are coming, I hope you drop into one or more of my sessions and introduce yourself as a subscriber to this newsletter.
Here's the lineup of my events:
Practical Applications of Brain-Aware Design (P04)
Monday, March 14
Designing training without an understanding of how the brain works is a lot like trying to get somewhere without a map. Even if you eventually arrive at your destination, you won't know how you got there so that you can do it again. Brain-aware design saves time, reduces rework, and boosts business results because it focuses your efforts on the design elements that are proven by science to be the most effective.
In this interactive workshop, you will understand how the brain works, how you can use the attention, engagement, encoding and retrieval processes of the brain to make training that is more effective, takes less time to produce and delivers more lasting results. You will apply brain-aware design to multiple types of projects, building your skill and confidence throughout the session. You'll also learn how to apply a toolkit of templates and resources to help you make learning experiences that teach the brain the way the brain wants to learn.
Wednesday, March 16
In this session, you will learn:
- How to create learning materials that increase attention
- How to build learning experiences for maximum engagement by using the brain's bias for social interaction and connection
- How to maximize retention and retrieval by teaching the brain how to categorize, file, and recall key points, skills, and concepts
- How to plan your next brain-aware project using the toolbox resources provided in the session
Wednesday, March 16
Join me bright and early Wednesday morning for coffee and an informal conversation about the application of neuroscience to learning.
Employees today don't just use the Internet-they live in it! And they expect their online learning experience on the job to match their online experience in their digital, highly connected life. Is your ecosystem up to the challenge, or does it seem boring and limited to your learners? We've been reading about the wave of new employees in the workforce for years, but have we built the learning and performance support environment that will engage them and help them thrive?
In this interactive session, we will explore how the brain operates and how it expects to seek out, receive, and apply information. Then you'll learn about specific ways to evaluate your current ecosystem and identify ways to tailor it to meet the needs of your connected employees. You will be able to immediately use this information to evaluate your own ecosystem's readiness and the five things you can do right now to make it more effective for all.
