Despite virtual reality (VR) being a trending topic in learning, there’s still some uncertainty about what VR means for the future of L&D. This really is no wonder, as mixed reality learning is a generational leap in approach. But there really hasn’t been a better time to take on VR in L&D. It’s cheaper, easier and more accessible than ever.

Time has flown by since The Transformation Curve was launched in January 2018, and I think a lot of us are wondering, how many in L&D have taken the research on board and are starting to apply the new model of maturity to their learning strategy?

Empathy plays a pivotal role in all learning strategies, whether we are aware of it or not. Empathy is what helps us to understand the needs, motivations, and challenges of our learners, it helps our leaders to lead better and it can even have a drastic influence on whether or not our learners are engaged.

Before we start to think of ways to tackle low learner engagement, it’s important to consider where you stand right now, and how hungry your learners are. I’m all about getting to the root cause of the problem before trying to fix it, so this blog is all about taking a step back and learning how to identify low learner engagement.

The Synaptic Circle is a neuroleadership model created by Amy Brann, which covers the basics all leaders need to be aware of from a brain perspective of how people work.

Learning at Work Week is one of our busiest times of year, supporting our clients as they celebrate all things learning related. We love the inspiration this national week gives to the L&D community but we would love it even more if this momentum lasted all year round – and we think it can!
