"Memory and Learning: Designing for Memory"






Presenter:

Patti Shank, PhD

Learning Designer, Researcher and Author






Program Summary

Look at typical workplace learning content and you’ll see issues that make it more difficult to learn, remember, and apply. Content that overloads memory. Writing that makes it hard to understand intended messages. Design that is confusing and hard to follow. Too few activities that we know are needed to promote application on the job.

Designing for memory means intentionally making it easier to learn, remember, and apply!

Here’s the (very) good news. Research offers instructional, writing, usability, and information design principles that show us how to make instruction work better for how we learn and apply. Patti Shank PhD is the author of Write and Organize for Deeper LearningPractice and Feedback for Deeper Learning, and Manage Memory for Deeper Learning. She’s an internationally recognized instructional designer, researcher, and learning analyst who makes these tactics clear and actionable in her books and workshops.

In this session, participants will apply research-driven and actionable tactics that help us:

·        Understand memory so we can work with it and not against it

·        Reduce needless mental effort

·        Make content clearer and easier to understand

·        Support remembering and use

Want to get the most from this session? Think of specific content you want to improve so you can think through the tactics with this content in mind. We know (from research) that we learn best when able to apply it right away.
