Many onboarding, HR essentials, skill-based training, and online courses fail to provide opportunities for learners to apply the knowledge and skills in their actual work environments. Learners frequently feel disengaged, overwhelmed, or trapped in a cycle of passive content consumption with few meaningful takeaways.

We try to design training, including eLearning, so that people will remember what they learn and apply it to the workplace. But people forget half the information that instruction presents within an hour, and 90 percent of it within a week. Can a designer do anything about this? Read what neuroscience knows about why we forget—the foundation for understanding how to deal with it.| Learning Guild
