Learning challenges
A study by ASTD and the Masie Center found that:
30% of potential learners don’t even begin compulsory training
20% experience technical difficulty
10% 50% are interrupted at work while trying to train at desks/worksites
20% hit a roadblock in the material and give up when not supported
20% 45%drop out as material is irrelevant or redundant
30% of potential learning is lost as people don’t know how to learn
50% of what learning remains atrophies before it is applied
What is left? 70% x 80% x 90% x 80% x 80% x 80% x 70% x 50% = 9% < 1/10th of learning is actually meaningful (ASTD & Masie Centre 2001)
What we are doing in Health…..
• Rapidly digitise the knowledge of health workforce so it can be used by others
• Placed in an open repository cross between “Britannica & Wikipedia”
• Time of Coffee
• Organised according to context and condition states not just libraries
• “Procumers”
