Lunch Webinar:: Thursday, March 18th

Designing Continuous Learning:
Leveraging the Power of a
Learning Continuum



Gary Wise

Presented by:

     Gary Wise
     Sr. Director, Learning Architecture
     Cincinnati Children's Hospital
     Medical Center

More than ever before our workers face moments of learning need that surface after we've trained them - downstream from the classroom - in their work context. The velocity and variability of their work shapes learning needs as unique as the learners themselves. Early discovery must accurately define the attributes of the work context, looking beyond classroom and formal on-line learning solutions.

We have to expand our discovery and our design thinking to embrace an entire Learning Continuum. Join us for a look at learning in the work context - the new classroom!

What You Will Learn:

  • Five moments of learning need and where learners confront them
  • A working definition of the Learning Continuum
  • An iterative design model called PDR (Prepare-Deploy-Reinforce)
  • Expanded work context discovery covering Space, Media & Systems
  • Worksheet included for mapping your own Learning Continuum

Who Should Attend:

  • Training professionals who interface with clients making training requests
  • Instructional Designers, Training Managers, Directors, etc.
