There may be times we need to change the behavior and aren’t measuring whether the behavior is impacting the business, or we just want to know learners are able to do new things at the end of the training. Those aren’t ideal, but they’re real, and we should similarly be designing for impact on those goals, regardless.

While there remains a need for formal training environments to meet specific learning outcomes, the necessity for organizations to leverage platforms that enable social and informal learning, where learners network, share, collaborate, and exchange ideas to solve problems, is paramount. This is Bandura’s social learning theory.

What is new, however, is the ratio of on-demand solutions to more traditional training offerings. It makes a big difference to your design if the on-demand content will be needed while the learner sits at their computer or while they perform a requalification inspection on a propane cylinder on a loading dock.

While we may like to believe that directing and guiding our learners to new understanding is the most effective way to educate, the traditional Instructor-Led Training (ILT) model fails to recognize that our learners have changed. So how do we best provide our learners of today with the best possible support and encouragement?

It’s in your mind One of the pioneers of adult learning theory, Malcom Knowles , explored the role of adult education and facilitation (andragogy) versus the traditional style of teaching children (pedagogy). To our learners, this is their reality. I discovered the teachable moment occurs in the minds of my learners, not mine.

At first I couldn’t think whether I actually applied how training was delivered to these different types of learners.

Some companies will use “Level 2: Learning” to measure whether the learners have mastered the training course content. McGoldrick described an approach to evaluating training that wasn’t just about changes in learner behavior but about learners integrated with and interacting within their own workplace. But it wasn’t.

It’s hard to overstate the importance of learner engagement when teaching complex new material, and in this case the $2 whiteboard is far more effective at gaining that engagement.

I was recently in a conference workshop with Shannon Tipton (Learning Rebels) , and she made a bold statement, which was to the effect: Throw out the learning objective and focus on what you want the learner to actually do. Your learners also benefit. By narrowing your scope, your video will be more focused, and easier to create.

Although, that ratio, 18:1, might mean that a class with two teachers could have 36 students. With elearning–self-paced, web-based training–there is no teacher, so the ratio is imaginary and moot. The Dreyfus model shows how learners acquire skills from various training. But is class size insignificant?

You start with the theory, then get directions from an instructor, and the rest is up to you to practice, observe others, ask questions and get feedback. So before deciding the ratio of informal and collaborative learning, do a thorough check on who your learners are. Learning never stops. It’s a repetitive pattern.

Pedagogy and andragogy research indicate a higher order of thinking induced in the learner when they are encouraged to maintain certain reflective practices.

Just as water will always find its own level by the path of least resistance, individual learners, working in collaboration and unhampered by the precepts of authority, tend to do an excellent job of finding and sharing what they need to know efficiently and effectively, even if they don’t necessarily know what they are looking for to begin with.
