The Big Question
Today’s witty post comes from Deirdre Ryan Instructional Designer at MindLeaders ThirdForce A short and slightly irreverent A-Z of some of the more “off-the-wall instructional design-related words and terms that have caught my eye over the years”.

The WSJ recently ran an informative article, Lessons Learned that discusses the importance of the need to create a workplace environment that actively encourages people to change. They start their article with the statement, “With some studies suggesting that just 10% to 40% of training is ever used on the job, it is clear that a big chunk of the tens of billions of dollars organizations spend annually on staff development is going down the drain.”This is actually a myth as some studies suggest the transfer rate is actually around 60% as the the study the WSJ used is based on extremely faulty research (see Myth - 10% of Training Transfers to the Job ). However, 60% is still too low of a transfer rate, thus we know we must use a better method for designing our learning processes.
Training at its Basic is a Positive Impact Caused by Learning
