As adults, we are rather lazy learners. Much of what we hold as fact regarding learning is actually illusion. We waste a lot of effort, time and resources with common-sense accepted educational practices that are rooted in intuition, tradition and myth. The most effective learning strategies and education programming are counter-intuitive. We need to build new bridges between our education offerings and the learning research in order to increase our participants’ ROI. We need to develop a deeper understanding of the why and how to create learning opportunities that stick.

Much of our education offerings are like building
a house. We purchase all the materials for
construction and then leave them in the yard.
It’s the equivalent to the lecture—download all
the information and do nothing with it.
