<strong>Session Focus: Leveraging the Self-Sustaining Power of Lifelong Learning
</strong>

We are all born with an inexhaustible and undeniable potential to learn. The brain has 200 billion neurons linked to one another through hundreds of trillions of connections called synapses. Neuroscientists are discovering the mechanisms of the brain that underpin theories of neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to modify, change, and adapt both structure and function in response to “experiences.”

<strong>It starts at the synapse.
</strong>Based on cutting-edge neuroscience and cognitive psychology, this book will debunk learning myths that hinder your ability to be a learner.

What we will explore together:

⭐ Strategies to overcome the predominant barriers to learning.

⭐ Resources and ideas for integrating continual learning in your daily life.

⭐ Approaches for developing a life-long learning practice.

Teri’s view of the human potential for learning is infinitely scalable. She not only challenges the reader to overcome the barriers to learning but contextualizes the journey beyond individual or organizational capability.

<strong>Session Focus: Illustrate what leaders might do differently if they were truly to “design with the brain in mind.”
</strong>

Many industry analysts believe virtual learning blends naturally into how our brains are wired to learn.

Digital transformation is making virtual learning easier than ever before.

To fully exploit these possibilities (and limits) to create rich virtual learning experiences, we first need to understand brain science.
<blockquote>
<h3>Active learning takes advantage of processes that stimulate multiple neural connections in the brain and promote memory–Berkely University of California</h3>
</blockquote>
In this session, you’ll experience a simple but high-impact, rich virtual learning scenario. As a group, we explore the latest Neuroscience with insights from psychological studies of how people think and learn.

We are entering the fourth industrial revolution. Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum, says this revolution is “fundamentally changing the way we live, work, and relate to one another.” In his book, The Fourth Industrial Revolution, Schwab describes how profound shifts are happening across all industries at a velocity, unlike anything we’ve ever experienced. As a result, organizations worldwide are shifting how they work, communicate, express, and learn.

The game has changed, and the question professionals should be asking is - Do I have the abilities that will be valuable in this evolving marketplace? Our research has led us to 5 life-changing capabilities.

We briefly cover these 5 capabilities and explain why they are essential during this time of immense change.

The data tells us that we learn better, retain more, and cognate at a higher level when we are positive and happy than when in a neutral or negative state. By adding this approach as a strategy, we can improve learning and performance.

With the recent advances in neuroscience, we have seen compelling research around the old paradigm that its success first and then happiness later and how this has been turned on its head. By retraining the brain and developing new positive mental paradigms, we can improve our outlook, how we respond to negative (even ambiguous) challenges, and our performance. Psychologists have completed a meta-analysis and determined that a positive mental model leads to success in every relevant domain, including work, home, and relationships. In this session, we’ll examine the research, take a fresh look at how the brain affects behavior and performance, and give you a few ideas to take action on.

<p class="thought_leader">The goal of training is to produce highly proficient performers in as short a time as possible, resulting in substantial benefits and savings to the organization. Although organizations invest significant resources in training, many learners find that they can’t perform without substantial help and support following the training events. It can take months or even years before they become proficient performers, especially for complex jobs. One reason for this is that people learn by doing, and frequently training programs are designed to impart content, rather than let people gain the essential experiences they need to perform on the job.</p>
Using strategies from the cognitive learning sciences, instructional designers, and performance technologists can significantly accelerate the process of developing proficient performers by providing them with a systematically constructed case-based curriculum. We’ll see how to design a learning model that incorporates the five principles of Performance Centered.

Learning(R):
<ul>
 	<li>Learning by doing</li>
 	<li>A systematic set of experiences</li>
 	<li>Teachable moment</li>
 	<li>Integrate knowledge and skills</li>
 	<li>Community of learners</li>
</ul>
In this highly interactive session, you will receive practical tips and guidelines for developing a case-based curriculum that increases speed to proficiency.
<ul>
 	<li>How Performance Centered Learning can increase speed to proficiency</li>

<strong><span class="a-text-italic">e-Learning and the Science of Instruction</span> is the ultimate handbook for evidence-based e-learning design.</strong>

Since the first edition of this book, e-learning has grown to account for at least 40% of all training delivery media. However, digital courses often fail to reach their potential for learning effectiveness and efficiency.

This guide provides research-based guidelines on how best to present content with text, graphics, and audio as well as the conditions under which those guidelines are most effective.

This updated fourth edition describes the guidelines, psychology, and applications for ways to improve learning through personalization techniques, coherence, animations, and a new chapter on evidence-based game design.

The chapter on the Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning introduces three forms of cognitive load which is revisited throughout each chapter as the psychological basis for chapter principles.

A new chapter on engagement in learning lays the groundwork for in-depth reviews of how to leverage worked examples, practice, online collaboration, and learner control to optimize learning. The updated instructor's materials include a syllabus, assignments, storyboard projects, and test items that you can adapt to your own course schedule and students.

Co-authored by the most productive instructional research scientist in the world, Dr. Richard E. Mayer, this book distills copious e-learning research into a practical manual for improving learning through optimal design and delivery.

Learning Science for Instructional Designers: From Cognition to Application

phyllis.king

<b>Why is it so hard to make lasting changes in our companies, communities, and our own lives?</b>

The primary obstacle is a conflict that's built into our brains, say, Chip and Dan Heath, authors of the critically acclaimed bestseller <i>Made to Stick</i>. Psychologists have discovered that our minds are ruled by two different systems - the rational mind and the emotional mind - that compete for control. The rational mind wants a great beach body; the emotional mind wants that Oreo cookie. The rational mind wants to change something at work; the emotional mind loves the comfort of the existing routine. This tension can doom a change effort, but change can come quickly if it is overcome.

In <i><b>Switch</b></i>, the Heaths show how everyday people - employees and managers, parents and nurses - have united both minds and, as a result, achieved dramatic results:

● The lowly medical interns who managed to defeat an entrenched, decades-old medical practice that was endangering patients
● The home-organizing guru who developed a simple technique for overcoming the dread of housekeeping
● The manager transformed a lackadaisical customer-support team into service zealots by <i>removing</i> a standard customer service tool.

In a compelling, story-driven narrative, the Heaths bring together decades of counterintuitive research in psychology, sociology, and other fields to shed new light on how we can effect transformative change. <i><b>Switch</b> </i>shows that successful changes follow a pattern you can use to make the changes that matter to you, whether your interest is in changing the world or your waistline.

This book does for business leaders what few have time to do for themselves. It combines the latest brain research with insights from psychological studies of how people think. It uses powerful stories to convey that information and presents it in short, readable chapters, each divided into three parts:· "What's the story?" reports in concise, digestible terms the science behind how the brain works.· "Interesting, but so what?" discusses how this research is relevant to business leaders today.· "What if ..." illustrates what leaders might do differently if they were truly to "lead with the brain in mind."The Brain Advantage shows leaders how to become even more effective decision-makers, communicators, and change-agents.

<span style="color: #0f1111;">In his mega bestseller, </span><strong style="color: #0f1111;"><em>Thinking, Fast and Slow</em></strong><span style="color: #0f1111;">, Daniel Kahneman, world-famous psychologist and winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics, takes us on a groundbreaking tour of the mind and explains the two systems that drive the way we think.</span>

<span style="color: #0f1111;">System 1 is fast, intuitive, and emotional; System 2 is slower, more deliberative, and more logical. The impact of overconfidence on corporate strategies, the difficulties of predicting what will make us happy in the future, the profound effect of cognitive biases on everything from playing the stock market to planning our next vacation―each of these can be understood only by knowing how the two systems shape our judgments and decisions.</span>

<span style="color: #0f1111;">Engaging the reader in a lively conversation about how we think, Kahneman reveals where we can and cannot trust our intuitions and how we can tap into the benefits of slow thinking. He offers practical and enlightening insights into how choices are made in both our business and our personal lives―and how we can use different techniques to guard against the mental glitches that often get us into trouble. Topping bestseller lists for almost ten years, </span><strong style="color: #0f1111;"><em>Thinking, Fast and Slow</em></strong><em style="color: #0f1111;"> </em><span style="color: #0f1111;">is a contemporary classic, an essential book that has changed the lives of millions of readers.</span>

"<em>When</em>" helps us understand our biological preferences regarding time and gives dozens of practical examples of the impact of choices we make related to time. With new awareness, this book helps us choose differently to have a more positive impact on our lives and the lives of those around us.
<blockquote><b>"Brims with a surprising amount of insight and practical advice." --<i>The Wall Street Journal</i></b></blockquote>
Everyone knows that timing is everything. But we don't know much about timing itself. Our lives are a never-ending stream of "when" decisions: when to start a business, schedule a class, get serious about a person. Yet we make those decisions based on intuition and guesswork.

Timing, it's often assumed, is an art. In <em>When: T</em><i>he Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing</i>, Pink shows that timing is really a science.

Drawing on a rich trove of research from psychology, biology, and economics, Pink reveals how best to live, work, and succeed. How can we use the hidden patterns of the day to build the ideal schedule? Why do certain breaks dramatically improve student test scores? How can we turn a stumbling beginning into a fresh start? Why should we avoid going to the hospital in the afternoon? Why is singing in time with other people as good for you as exercise? And what is the ideal time to quit a job, switch careers, or get married?

In <i>When</i>, Pink distills cutting-edge research and data on timing and synthesizes them into a fascinating, readable narrative packed with irresistible stories and practical takeaways that give readers compelling insights into how we can live richer, more engaged lives.
