Experts, scientists and learning specialists agree that experience is one of the better ways to help learners learn.

The more experience the learner and worker has, the more they perform on the job.  In typical learning environments, “experience learning” is not encouraged.

Consequently, learners try hard to learn the theory and yet forget them as soon as they finish the courses.

To prevent this from happening, effective learning incorporates experience-learning before, during and after the learning process – and is continuously encouraged on the job.

Topics covered:

• What scientific studies demonstrate that experience-learning is far more effective than other methods?
• What are the key elements of experience-learning – its design, methods, platform and culture?
• What aspects of your training plan warrants experience-learning methods?
• How do you use problem-solving, analytical studies, trouble-shooting, action-research, peer-to-peer learning to strengthen experience-learning?
