There are many different methods for enhancing our ability to learn and retain new information. To make sure you are able to use this information in a real-world setting that’s meaningful to you, you will be creating a workplace training activity that can be related to a current or future job.
Successful completion of this activity involves the creation of a multimedia presentation (audio or video required for your voiceover) to demonstrate your ability to create and discuss a workplace training activity that effectively uses learning and memory concepts. Here are some questions to answer within your presentation. But first, please watch the following videos:
Briefly describe the setting of a current or future job.
What is the new information to be learned and retained? This can be related to a new product/process/tool, interpersonal communication, hiring and training, inclusion/diversity awareness, etc.
Who are your learners? Co-workers, subordinates, mentees, students, new employees/recruits, others?
What strategies/concepts do you plan to use to introduce the new information to your learners?
How would you assist learners with the successful encoding of the new information?
What steps would you undertake to help learners commit the new information to their long-term memory?
What would the duration/length of your training activity be? Why is this important?
How would you evaluate the success of your training activity?
Make sure to support your presentation with key references related to the module.
