Inform Your Trainer to teach Participants to  Remember Faster

Long term memory – Can we remember things without really writing it down? 

Not me…I have made it a practise to write what I want to remember down on my note book.

This article that I wish to share with you will teach you how to encourage the trainers you choose to emphasise ‘remembering techniques’ when they train your employees.  Here are tips that you can request your trainer to do.

• Make the learning meaningful – so participants can understand it, make it relevant to what they are doing in the workplace, connect the topic to relevant facts.

• Refer to previous knowledge so they can build on something they already know – always remind participants of what they already know. This increases working memory capacity.

• Add meaningful learning to the training – solve real-world problems, case studies and worked examples.

• Chunk and organise information into small bits.

• Give learners an overview – a mind-map for a visual audience (this depends on which generation is the targeted participants – that’s where learning objectives came from)
