Session Description:
Most learning approaches are top to bottom, mandated and driven by leaders, trainers and learning specialists. This is an old production and content oriented model where the training departments must produce content for learners to consume. In today's economy, this is costly, slow and often times late.In work conditions where change is rapid and learners are adept in the use of technologies (mobile and collaborative tools), trends show that contextual learning is a faster, cheaper and easiest way to deliver learning. Contextual learning principles and methods suggest that learner's learn best by referring to their own context, first and foremost. What matters is the learners' view of the content, competencies and skills to acquire as they see fit on the job.
In this session, you will learn the key principles and practical examples of contextual learning.
Topics to cover:
- Cognitive learning and social sciences research findings on contextual learning
- Case studies to show savings, speed and results from contextual learning approaches
- Emerging practice of leveraging learners' and workers' context, expertise, background and prior knowledge
- Steps to follow to implement contextual learning
- Identifying opportunities for contextual learning applications
- Integrating learning systems, instructional design methods to apply contextual learning
- Persuading top leaders on the ROI of contextual learning
