70:20:10 Rule

70% = on the job learning (learning while doing)

20% = coaching and mentoring (support and direction from managers and colleagues)

10% = formal learning (classroom, workshop and/or e-learning)

Don’t learning needs extend way

beyond a course?

Learning for the first time

Wanting to learn more

Trying to remember

Dr. Conrad Gottfredson’s “Five Moments of Learning Need”:

Things change

Something goes wrong

When do you create a course?

You can’t rely on being able to teach everyone everything anymore

It’s impossible for people to keep that much information in their heads

People don’t have the time or the patience to sit down and go through an e-learning course

They shouldn’t have to learn it all anyway

In summary

So what can you do?12

IN CONTEXT

Jay Cross, author of Informal Learning:

Inspire Innovation and Performance

We learn in context, with others, as we

live and work.“”

How do we learn most often?

the job, in context = situated cognition

• Skills are only needed once in a while

• Content is hard to retain or doesn’t have to be retained
