This shortage exacerbates the need for efficient onboarding and continuous training processes. The traditional model of employee induction and recurrent training is often time-consuming and one-size-fits-all. It treats all employees similarly, regardless of their existing knowledge and skills. This is where adaptive learning technology comes into play as a solution that can significantly shorten the learning curve and anchor and retain crucial competencies year-round. This enhances productivity and reduces the time it takes to get and keep employees proficient.

People believe that the development, anchoring, and retention of crucial competencies in an adaptive way leaves little room for a learner to choose whether to engage with the proposed learning object. However, adaptive learning can also be used for ‘pull learning’ or ‘self-directed learning’. Let’s dive a little deeper into the applicability of adaptive learning in both push and pull learning scenarios.

Don't forget the forgetting curve](https://drillster.com/en/blog/learning-and-development-dont-forget-the-forgetting-curve/llm/markdown): Memory is one of the most crucial functions of the brain. It allows us to store and remember information. Unfortunately, our memory is not perfect: we often forget things we’ve learned in the past. This is due to the forgetting curve, a natural process that our brain uses to make room for urgent matters and prevent overload. In most cases, it’s not a big deal, as you don’t need to know everything at all times. However, there are situations where it’s crucial to have knowledge readily available. Think of time-critical tasks in the workplace where mistakes can have severe consequences. For these situations, we need to ensure that we overcome the forgetting curve. In this blog, we explain how to achieve this.

Let's explore the relationship between communication, motivation, and the brain's reward system, and how it plays a crucial role in learning success.

The days are getting darker and the end of the year is closing in on us. This is usually paired with busy times. Personally, with visiting family and making sure that presents are wrapped in time. But also business-wise. Activities will be finalized, contracts need to be closed or renewed, and you look back on this years' performances. Also, new budgets are made, targets are set and maybe you will revise your overall business strategy. It's also a time for new policies and rules & regulations. They can be imposed by the government so you need to make alterations to your own policy to stay compliant. Or they are developed by your own company, usually by the compliance department. After all, the beginning of a new year is a good time to do things differently. But how will you implement these changes? And how do you notify your employees that there are new rules to follow?

But not every employee jumps for joy at the idea of taking a course or training. There can even be some pushback. When it comes to personal growth or gaining new skills and expertise, employees are often enthusiastic and eager to learn. But professional development goes beyond that. Knowledge of less exciting topics, from legislation and regulations to safety and hygiene, needs to be up to scratch too. There is often less enthusiasm for these subjects. And when employees aren’t engaged in a topic, this is where pushback can arise, which can hinder the learning process. You want to avoid that of course, so we’ll share four tips on how to turn pushback into pushing forward.

- [How to Transform Education and Incorporate Technology for Effective Learning](https://drillster.com/en/blog/how-to-transform-education-and-incorporate-technology-for-effective-learning/llm/markdown): New generations have grown up with technology at their fingertips, which has allowed them to develop differently. The way they interact, search for information, and even think has changed. A clear example arises when having to remember something: students no longer need to rely on their own memory, but can look up everything they need to know on the internet. New generations need new skills and, consequently, new ways of teaching and learning that go beyond the traditional—a fact that has become more evident this past year. Therefore, using only traditional learning methods in the classroom based on memorizing endless textbooks, attending in-person classes, and taking one-off exams is no longer as effective for developing and retaining the knowledge of today's students. But how can we transform education to achieve more effective learning? Technology is the key, and our great ally.

- [Storytelling: from a primal instinct to an impactful learning tool](https://drillster.com/en/blog/storytelling-from-a-primal-instinct-to-an-impactful-learning-tool/llm/markdown): Storytelling. The term has become increasingly popular in recent years and is being used more consciously for a multitude of purposes, but in reality, it is as old as mankind. The first communications we can find, such as cave paintings, folk tales, and plays, are all forms of storytelling. After all, in those times, this was the only way to convey messages and knowledge. The urge to tell stories is within the human being as a kind of primal instinct. Thousands of years have passed since then and now we record everything in books, digital formats, presentations, videos and even VR. To say the least, we’ve become a lot more sophisticated in storytelling, the means we do so, and the applications for it. Nevertheless, storytelling is still an important part of who we are. Now what about the use of storytelling in (corporate) learning?

- [The no-stress learning method of Transavia](https://drillster.com/en/blog/the-no-stress-learning-method-of-transavia/llm/markdown): Keeping the cabin crew members skilled at all times is a challenge that every airline will recognize, includingTransavia. To do this, Transavia used to obligate its crew members to follow a mandatory learning program consisting of a yearly recurrent exam and after-exam classroom training. Six years ago, the airline realized that this was not the best approach. In fact, the cabin crew members experienced a lot of stress for the exam, and the freshly learned knowledge faded away quickly. This is what we call the temporary ‘knowledge peak’ problem, something that Transavia had to fight to ensure that crew members were fully skilledat all times. Read further to find out how they did it.
