‘Corporate
Training is broken, so why are you still doing it?’ by Libby Drake, Training
Journal, March 2014
This
article asks a lot of questions but only provides a few of the answers. It is however worth reading for anyone
involved in designing learning solutions because it reminds us of what we should
be striving for; that perfect blended learning programme where all attendees
have been fully briefed by their line manager, have agreed their personal
objectives and have completed their pre-course work. And afterwards they all go back to their jobs
and transfer their learning, with the eager support of an engaged senior
management. Most learning professionals
work towards this goal but also know how difficult it is to achieve.
