The answer? According to Meyer, \u201crapid learning\u201d is where it\u2019s at. \u201cRapid learning, or bite-size learning, is soft-skills e-learning for the modern Web-enabled, search-engine obsessed, YouTube addicted workforce.\u201d\n\nMeyer outlines three basics for an effective e-learning program:\n\n\n<ul>\n\t\n\n<li>Make e-learning modules short and sweet. Meyer recommends short bursts of learning delivered in under 10 minutes. \u201cEven the busiest learners can find time to engage in a module that promises to be quick and focuses on developing a single valuable skill.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n<ul>\n\t\n\n<li>Make e-learning modules short and sweet. Yes, I\u2019m repeating the first point because in addition to time constraints, learners also have cognitive limits. \u201cWhen learners engage in 60-minute e-learning modules, they\u2019re overwhelmed. They can\u2019t effectively process all the information. So they never learn most of it and forget a good portion of the rest.\u201d When learning is broken down into simple concepts, learners can absorb it and remember it.<\/li>\n\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n<ul>\n\t\n\n<li>Technology has changed the way our brains function\u2014we access information in seconds and quickly lose interest and move on to the next chunk of information\u2014so e-learning should follow suit. \u201cRapid learning is designed to meet the modern brain on its own terms. Quick and engaging, the modules are effective for trainees who want their learning on-demand and on the go.<\/li>\n\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\nLearn more at <a title=\"HR.com\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hr.com\/en\/magazines\/all_articles\/workplace-e-learning-that-sticks_hv8f9u7h.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">hr.com<\/a>.\n\n&nbsp;]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[432],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 -
