OUR APPROACH
Everyone learns differently. For us, what is most important is providing learning, resources and develop methods is ways that best fit your learning style.
The Seven Learning Styles
Visual (spatial):You prefer using pictures, images, and spatial understanding.
Aural (auditory-musical): You prefer using sound and music.
Verbal (linguistic): You prefer using words, both in speech and writing.
Physical (kinesthetic): You prefer using your body, hands and sense of touch.
Logical (mathematical): You prefer using logic, reasoning and systems.
Social (interpersonal): You prefer to learn in groups or with other people.
Solitary (intrapersonal): You prefer to work alone and use self-study.
It is simple. Successful organizations and high-achieving professionals understand that learning and development is a lifelong process.
When you stop investing in your employees, your competition starts moving ahead.
When you neglect developing yourself, everyone around you excels and you are left behind.

Micro-Learning
I am always ready to learn although I do not always like being taught.”- Winston Churchill
Really Cool Bite-sized Increased Knowledge
Learning Objective → Video Delivery ∼ Learning Nuggets ≡ Improved Performance
Inspired by our generation of Millennials, we are taking the “flipped classroom” to a whole new level! Why? By 2025, Millennials alone will make up that 75 percent of the workforce and the average attention span of the Millennial generation is about 90 seconds. What does that mean? They think fast, move quickly and process information on the go.
But, they are not alone. Technology has pushed us all to process more information in less time and to get more things done for a growing number of customers. Our solution – deliver content to learners small, very specific bursts.
Remember, people learn differently. Our goal is to create a learning environment, along with resources and develop methods that best fit your learning style.
Microlearning allows learners to bee in control of what and when they’re learning. Content is delivered in small, well planned, bite-sized chunks of information or activities which we call learning vignettes. These “corto” or short sessions of 3 to 7 minutes are designed to match the human brain that most leans toward shorter attention span. It is easy to manage and fits the palate of just-in-time performance-based learning requirements of today’s workforce. Microlearning has become considered as one of the best instructional approaches for new age learners. One great example if TED Talk.
