We are now truly starting to understand how the learner learns, scientists now know for sure how our brain works and its these advances in the brain sciences that should “shape” how we design and deliver training to our learners.

If you are designing and delivering learning and not taking these invaluable insights into account, you are doing your learner audience a huge disservice.

John Medina’s “Brain Rules” is an amazing introduction to the very fascinating world of neuroscience and in this interactive session David Smith, Founder and Virtual Guru at DS Virtually as we explore 6 key brain rules that should inform how we design and deliver every learning experience.

 By attending this session, you will be able to:

• Recognize why learners multitask and how we can minimize learners doing so
• Engage learners by appealing to their senses
• Recognize why short sharp learning interventions trump longer sessions

David Smith is the driving force behind DS Virtually, a globally recognised virtual working expert, author, and keynote speaker on developing people for the digital workplace, he has become a regular webinar and conference speaker on the subject of moving training from the traditional face to face classroom into both digital and virtual forms, how to engage the modern learner, as well as how technologies change the way in which we communicate, connect and collaborate.

Since 2008, when David began working full-time both remotely and virtually using online virtual platforms such as Adobe Connect, WebEx, GoToMeeting and Skype for Business, he has trained, coached, upskilled, and mentored thousands of professionals in how to engage invisible audiences, design and deliver highly effective virtual events, and take advantage of the web conferencing technologies that help us work globally.
