A consciousness-raising course on learning in the workplace. BETA
You'll receive three questions every other day until you have answered all 16 of them correctly.
This is a test of minimalist design that takes advantage of spacing and reinforement.
I encourage you to complete the program -- it takes but a minute every other day.
Upon completion, I hope you'll give me your feedback.
I think something like this should be a regular feature of corporate learnscapes.
Note: This material is intended for learning professionals. That doesn't mean it's over your head. Rather, it means you'll guess a few things the first time around, learn from your mistakes, and nail it next time you see it. Learning is the most natural thing in the world.
If you are new to informal learning, you may want to read Informal Learning in a Nutshell before beginning the course.
If you're joining us for the first time, be aware that this course is less than two weeks old. We're learning as we go. Several participants have made suggestions that I'm putting into the course now. Thanks! That's the way it should be. We're grown-ups here. This is a learning community not a teacher and students.

NLP is ‘snake oil’?: OK, where’s the research to prove that categoric assertion.
An enjoyable course on some of the core aspects of learning with some excellent discussion by the author and participants.
Nice way of learning although the emphasis was more on actual facts (and a bit US-centric) and I expected a bit more Focus on activating questions that focused on real understanding of the subject. But Jay: thank you for offering this experience!
