What are the best methods to reinforce learning and prevent forgetting?
I'm a big fan of creating reminders for learners to use in and after training. So step by step guides in the training, that they use back on the job and gradually reduce their reliance on. As well as encouraging people to make their own reminders, such as silly rhymes or just post its to add to their desk. We know reminders, like hand wash only stickers above sinks, in critical places so they're used in the moment, are super helpful. So if these can be created to help learners after, all the better!
