What can the learners do for themselves?

We firmly believe that most workplace learning happens on the job and the more this can be encouraged then the more people will learn.

However if you have a culture that very much looks towards the Learning and Development department for all workplace learning then you will need to encourage greater self sufficiency gradually.

So why not start by looking at the workshops you run.

We like the quote:

'Don't do for the learners what they can do for themselves' David Meier

So what do you do in your workshops currently that learners could do for themselves?

Learners will remember more about:

• The information they research

• The case studies they create from their own experience than from the ones you produce

• The quizzes they write for each other to test learning

• The 'teach backs' they run to share their findings with each other.

Can you really change a workshop in 90 seconds? Yes, because you don't actually have to prepare anything, just make the decision to let your learners do the work for themselves.
