Context & Learning

Experiments began.  We educated ourselves on the a, b, c's, of cognition and learning, using what we learned as a baseline to brainstorm on applying to clinical trial situations.  The big challenge to ensure the science was understood and that conditions under which the science worked were relevant and specifically applicable to the trifecta investigative roles of the scientist, patient caregiver and researcher.  We all agreed that by locating learning matter nearest the contexts of clinical trial scenarios, memory had a higher probability of readily activating when exposed to experiences corresponding with learned matter in the field.  We organized information the way it would most often be experienced by learners and staged subject care simulations to mimic such encounters.  Using decision and problem solving discussions in a live forum to engage learners, a blend of lively classroom, social/collaborative learning became the centerpiece of our trainings.  The big step of creating an even more powerful way to correlate investigator experiences with learning was soon to come.  You can learn of it on this site - In Situ; a multi-device learning experience platform that changes clinical teams learning to learning with measurable R.O.I. outcomes
