The Rising Demand For Sound Learning Design WebEnable >Elearning Solutions>The Rising Demand For Sound Learning Design
The learning world had seen a slow evolving growth for decades, and now we are living in exciting times, watching the long needed revolution impatiently unfold.
Main frames ['60s] have evolved into mini-computers ['70s / '80s], to desktop super-computers, to laptops ['90s] , netbooks, tablets, mobile phones, palmtops….The access to internet and greater bandwidth has opened up immense possibilities for learning. The pace of technology driven change for the learning world is set to surge..
The power of human capital must stay ahead of the curve. Along with many diverse challenges, the world is facing tectonic shifts in school curriculum, in workforce analytics, in generational demographics, and social demographics arising from borderless cultures, etc. Corporates recognise the need to intervene, and have started talent management programmes, succession planning, and increased engagements to compete for and retain good talents. Universities are stuck in between.
They are too large and entrenched in practices which make it highly challenging for them to keep pace with the changes. Businesses have to step in to fill in the gap ie to groom the talents themselves. [Refer to Monsters Under the Bed by Stan Davis and Jim Botkins.] New boutique schools are sprouting like mushrooms after the rains.
But who is equipped to facilitate the transfer of learning? Not just mental or theoretical learning. The current competency of the professionals in the learning world is itself also a product of Universities which has not evolved. The competencies are skewed towards theory, and education-centric solutions. The corporate world is crying for real learning design. The ones that matter. The ones that affect bottom line. But silos are in the way.

Trainee Testimonials
"Primer has been a learning journey that has had a great impact on me. I am really thankful to the Learning Design Apprentice Programme for making me relook at my attitudes and habits. In my previous work experience I had not noticed my bad habits at work. Each day here at Primer has helped me move closer to a more disciplined, dedicated and time sensitive mode of work. Today, I can confidently say that I have a vision of a bright future – for myself and Primer. I would say this programme adds value to anyone who wants to become a critical thinker and an effective doer! "
