Learners First. An Agile Approach to Learning
Publications
“Learners First. An Agile Approach to Learning”
Trainings, seminars, workshops – they all are part of how we tend to learn, especially in corporate contexts, and give us a curriculum. But do they actually meet your needs? Do they provide you with the skills that are relevant for your job? Do they build on the knowledge you already have? And do they give you opportunities to actually apply what you learn? All too often the answers to these questions is No.
Luckily, more and more companies are aware of these shortcomings and are moving away from standard training programs and towards a new way of learning: agile learning.
In this book, Dr Vera Baum and Dr Manuel Illi provide an easy-to-implement guide to agile learning for anyone who wants to make learning more fun and more effective. By combining their extensive experience as agile learning coaches and agility experts with scientific insights on the science of learning, they show how learning can be turned into a fulfilling experience that meets the unique needs of every learner.
