                 Are They Really Learning???  Learning Styles and How They Impact the Transfer of Learning
 Speak: Sharleen Smith
 Transfer of learning is an ongoing fundamental and significant concern in the world of talent development.  Whether you have been in training and development for years or are new to this field, to be effective you must diligently focus on delivering content in such a way that learning transfers back to the workplace.   While there are many factors to consider in transfer of learning, it is essential to understand learning styles if you want learning to take place.  The August ATD program is focused on understanding learning styles and how to use them in designing content, instructional activities and presentation aids for maximum learning, retention and applicability.  Even without participants taking the Learning Type Measure, there are still ways you can apply learning styles in your programs. Join us to discover methods that will help you engage your audience for an exceptional learning experience!
