I’d like to ask you a few questions…..
Which is generally more successful in achieving learning outcomes?
Most people will probably pick the first option… While I’m sure they have been scarred by poor e-learning content in the past, lets stick with the premise that instructor-led training is generally more successful in achieving learning outcomes.
This chart represents knowledge over time…
You can see that initially the user has zero knowledge in the new topic; then they attend a classroom-based training course where they become knowledgeable on the said topic; and after the event knowledge will slowly fade away. That’s how the human brain works. You know what they say, if you don’t use it, you lose it.
So far, instructor-led training is more successful in achieving learning outcomes.
