Ten rules for training

The top 10 things to keep in mind about virtual training

Excerpted from author/trainer Roger Schank's book Virtual Learning.

  1. People remember best what they feel the most.
  2. Dumb employees aren't born — they're made.
  3. You can fail to learn just about anything.
  4. Deliver training just in time (or when a learner has just failed and really needs help).
  5. Learners will teach themselves better than the world's best trainer or highest-paid motivational speaker.
  6. Memorization without corresponding experience is worthless.
  7. When a company buys a learning system, it should come with all the options.
  8. Training should open with a bang.
  9. Trainees should be learning from the world's best.
  10. It's better to train the many rather than the few.
