Experience and learning seems to happen in fits, stops, and starts. Sometimes it seems one is going nowhere or even backwards. Other times there is steady, plodding progress. And yet other times seem to be peak learning moments, when everything comes together. Such crescendous learning moments are often very memorable. As people look back over their lives they often note their watershed learning experiences - their first kiss, love, death, achievements, etc.
Just prior to significant learning moments, one sits at the eye of the storm, having experienced the ups and downs and arounds, there is suddenly only pure curiosity and confidence in flowing with the task/problem/challenge. This state may be experienced as flow (or optimal arousal). In such moments, an individually is primed for discovering and developing a new understanding of a phenomena. It is a "teachable moment".

Since I found substantial errors on Masie's site re: interpreting data, or rather misinterpreting data, I'm sceptical of this "elearning guru", or perhaps promoter might be a better word. But, here are his predictions for 2010 about learning. No doubt he'll survey selected folks in 2011 to confirm that within a biased sample, he was correct. Then again, he does say google will make inroads at work in 2010. Like, Huh?

Giving negative feedback sucks. Period. It's uncomfortable for you and it's uncomfortable for the person hearing it. But no matter how much you twist and turn to avoid it, giving negative feedback may be the kindest way to change behaviour. And believe it or not, there are ways of delivering it that make it less painful for all parties involved.

If you are a typical purchaser considering a facilitation training class to attend or to have taught in-house, there are probably lots of standard questions you would a sk the training vendor. Common questions might include: What topics are taught? What are the desired outcomes? How long is the class? How much does it cost? Can it be customized? Based on these basic questions, you could very easily conclude that facilitation classes are pretty similar, so you might as well choose the least expensive or the most convenient in terms of location.

Psychometrics can be a key implement in the learning and development toolkit what's more they're ever more easily available.
With psychometric and quasi-psychometric packages increasingly available in more convenient and cost-effective DIY formats, learning and development (L and D) departments are able to harness them for a host of applications - including team selection, leadership potential, conflict management, problem-solving and response mechanisms.
