“Instead of the individual having to evaluate and process every bit of
information, she/he creates a personal network of trusted nodes: people and content, enhanced by technology. The act of knowledge is offloaded onto the
network itself.”

Two ways of looking at Gen Y
“Gen Y are tolerant, optimistic, collaborative,
open-minded and driven.”suite101.com
“Gen Y are the 'diva' generation: high-maintenance, out for
themselves, lacking in loyalty, thinking only of the short term
and their own place in it..”Association of Graduate Recruiters

How Gen Y want learning to be:
Interactive
Student-centred
Authentic
Collaborative
On-demand
don’t we all?Barking Robot, 2006

But in the end, we need to
do the right thing, not pamper
to Gen Y or anyone else

New thinking and new expectations demand
a shift in emphasis …
… and innovative new ways of blending the
contexts in which we learn

“Be aware that the
magnitude of the financial
meltdown is almost beyond
comprehension. I can foresee
training departments being eliminated
almost entirely.”

Oh yeh, try telling that to
Coca Cola, Facebook, BP,
Glaxo …But surely employees are
our greatest asset
New pressures
Employees are not your greatest asset
They’re much more
important than that!
New thinking
New expectations
New pressures
Surely training should be seen as
an investment, not a cost
Fair enough, so what sort of
return can you give me and
with what confidence?
New pressures
• We choose methods to maximise the effectiveness of learning
• We choose media to maximise the efficiency of learning
• And the new pressures (time, environmental, budgetary) require, above all, greater efficiencies
We can’t meet these pressures just by
changing methods
but luckily …
Learning media are evolving rapidly
