Learners’ individual characteristics have a significant impact on whether they will use their learning in practice. If you are working in learning and development, there are ways you can support people to make it more likely that they will use their learning.

In this session, we will explore what motivates learners – both to learn new things, and to use their learning. 

The webinar will include presentations, group activities and personal reflective time. You will hear about a research and resources and talk to other participants about ways they are supporting effective learning.

This session is designed for anyone who is responsible for supporting learning and development in their organisation.

Learning outcomes

As a result of attending this workshop, you will be able to:

• Explain what learning transfer is and why it is important.
• Understand the importance of what a learner brings to their own learning, and why these factors are needed for effective learning transfer.
• Outline the differences between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in learners.
• Support learners to find their learning relevant and therefore maximise the likelihood of transfer into practice.
