transfer training

shared by Sharla Lair on 06 Apr 12 - No Cached
  • Notwithstanding the complexities of training, it is indisputable that the true success of training is represented in the learner’s ability to demonstrate what has been learned.
  • Overall learner satisfaction is greater if the training is relevant to the job. In alignment with this idea is the importance goal setting (Gist et al. 1990). Relevant goals intensify the learner’s interest in the tasks at hand, which results in persistence from the learner to reach the goal (Gist et al. 1990).
  • new research has shown peer support as being significantly influential on effects of transfer (Burke & Hutchins, 2008). Peer collaboration, networking, and the sharing of ideas relating to the content can act as support for skill transfer in trainees (Hawley and Barnard, 2005)

  • Provide support for transfer throughout the duration of the transfer process and not solely at specific time phases.
  • Further, incorporate assessment of transfer from trainee, trainer, and the organization’s perspective.

    Don't know. Perhaps you can just make a new post from the same article? Or you can just add it in the comments. You can also try moving your mouse over the annotations already listed, and add a sticky note.

    Free kits for teachers to help students learn to code and hopefully generate interest in coding. This is a really neat program I'm interested in how teachers like it and how they fit it in to their busy schedules. I imagine there is a lot of collaboration between teachers and librarians, since often times librarians are in charge of the school's computer lab.

    "Since at least the 1990s, when personal computers first became commonplace, public policy experts have worried the ill effects of a Digital Divide. That is, a learning, socialization and economic gap across socio-economic status, race and gender caused by unequal access to computing resources."

    The second of four New York Times articles, written by a librarian and therefore supportive, but he made several good points. Most learning centers offer computer skills in only English, but to offer those in four foreign languages is impressive, along with the move to circulating digital media and devices.

    I'm just learning of this today. Apparently they are only offering 1GB of free storage, which puts them at half of what Dropbox offers for free. That said, Dropbox is painfully slow at upload and download and Google storage is insanely cheap. I just bought 20GB of storage for my photo archive and it costs me a WHOPPING $5/year - and the extra storage is shared by all my Google apps which I'm guessing will include Drive.

    China, unlike much of the rest of the world, is experiencing a boom in publishing, helped a national outlook that has embraced learning and is commercializing publishing. The comments in the article noted that some e-readers are popular in China, but otherwise doesn't say much about the state of e-publishing.

    This was an interesting session about using Apple Configurator to maintain a pool of iPads for circulation to autistic students. The good side is customization can be done and quickly, the downside is a one-to-one ratio for apps licenses and iPads, a steep learning curve to the Configurator software, and being limited to what apps Apple provides.

    An article that brings up what we lose by having everything recorded, Some points are made in how our memories change over time and instead seeing an optimized or idealized memory we would see out past differently. Also, our methods of interaction and learning will change as things get broken down more and more by probabilities and assessments based on metadata from recorded conversations.

    A brief article that raises some questions about the utility of training and "reskilling" as many people take classes and courses to demonstrate value to an employer rather than to learn or use the skills from the training. The result is wasted time and training that poorly fits the user or their job.

    Harvard librarians learned that lesson when they set up Twitter feeds broadcasting titles of books being checked out from campus libraries. It seemed harmless enough-a typical tweet read, "Reconstructing American Law by Bruce A. Ackerman," with a link to the book's library catalog entry-but the social-media experiment turned out to be more provocative than library staffers imagined.
