Design of an effective learning program is more than creating a job aid or dumping content into PowerPoint slides. It is developing learning experiences in a variety of learning styles to engage, train, and educate a multigenerational workforce.

How are you blending your content delivery channels to your employees' learning styles? How are you ensuring that learning transfer is happening back at your employees' desks?

When you talk to instructional designers, they stress "experiences." Designers are skilled in knowing how people learn and on creating ways to help them learn better because it is important to create experiences where students have the opportunity practice what they learn.
