When we design instruction, we typically hope that participants will remember what they learn and use it back on the job. It makes little sense to teach people how to analyze, make decisions, solve problems, and so forth and not have it influence performance on the job, right? Except…

The bad news is that research shows that often, what we teach doesn’t adequately influence job performance. One major reason is that we don’t use learning tactics that promote the brain processes (encoding, storage, and retrieval) needed for remembering and use.

In this session, Patti will discuss how human memory, especially encoding, storage, and retrieval, work and the implications for designing instruction.

Participants will learn what research evidence tells us about:

• How human memory works
• Why it’s relatively harder to remember and easier to forget
• The instructional tactics that make remembering and use more likely

This is the first half of a two-part series on designing for remembering and use.

In Part 2, we’ll use Part 1 knowledge to analyze and use specific design tactics that improve remembering and use, based on Patti’s books.

Presenter: Patti Shank (LinkedIn profile) PhD President Learning Peaks LLC, is the author of Write and Organize for Deeper Learning: 28 evidence-based and easy-to-apply tactics that will make your instruction better for learning (Make It Learnable), Manage Memory for Deeper Learning & Making Sense of Online Learning . Patti is an internationally recognized instructional designer, researcher, and learning analyst who makes these tactics clear and actionable in her books and workshops. She served as the head of health education and training & worked as director of research for The eLearning Guild.  She has also collaborated with content experts at Adobe, Oracle, Fidelity Information Systems, The Denver Hospice, Morgan Stanley, Hunter Douglas, Kaiser Permanente, HOMER Energy, The University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, and California State University and other industry leaders.

The use of improvisation as a training tool provides better listening, better focus, and better understanding. And it’s a whole lot of fun.

Often, however, it gets a bad rap because people think of it as something just for the stage. How many times have facilitated a training session and searched for experiential learning that sticks?

Join Bridget K. Brown (LinkedIn profile) Owner, StoryMatters, LLC, &  Theodore Klein (LinkedIn profile) Managing Partner, the Boston Strategy Group (BSG) to discover why – Improv is that tool.
