Extreme Engagement: Strategies that Enhance Adult Learning & Memory

Extreme Engagement: Strategies that Enhance Adult Learning & Memory

The proof is in: There's no scientific basis that learning styles or Meyers-Briggs personality types exist. So much of what educators have based adult learning design on is flawed, so what kind of new educational paradigm is needed?

The answer lies in the findings of neuroscientists who show that not only can engagement enhance adult learning, it can aid retention and application. But that depends on how you craft your education design and engagement strategy. This presentation shows you how to use the latest scientific findings on how the brain works and apply it to your educational programs.
