People often ask what method of learning is most effective for ensuring information sticks. Reading? Watching? Listening? The truth is, there isn’t a ‘one size fits all’ option and you have to decipher which is more effective for you.
Recent studies of workshop courses revealed that we transfer less than 10% of what we learn back to the work place. Therefore, if we have one piece of advice, it would be to learn in bitesized chunks and here’s why…
-
It’s simple – the less information you have to absorb in one go, the easier it sticks.
- Bitesize learning is easier to transfer back to the work place. It can be overwhelming knowing where to begin after a 6-hour workshop but a couple of new skills at a time, no problem!
- Time, money & logistics. It can be hard to schedule time off, obtain a budget and juggle the organisation, all whilst carrying out your job simultaneously.
- Leaning little and often ensures you are constantly up-to-date with the latest tools, techniques and best practice.
…and that is why bitesize learning is best!
