The Shortcomings of Content-Based Learning (And How to Overcome Them)

Why does content-based learning fall short in fostering comprehension and application in learners?

How can we bridge the gap between acquiring knowledge and applying it?

Strategies for Effective Learning: Sharing insights on designing learning experiences that prioritize behavioral outcomes over content dissemination, ensuring that training leads to tangible improvements in performance.

Measuring What Matters: Discussing methods for evaluating the impact of learning initiatives, focusing on the application of skills and achievement of specific outcomes rather than traditional tests and quizzes.
