Q1. Scenario: You have been asked by your boss to design a two-hour training program on harassment for a group of predominantly Millennial employees.* Which learning theory would you use to design it and why would you use that one? Describe two or three specific actions would you take to make help employees transfer their learning back to the job.

*For more information, including a definition of Millennial employees, visit this report from the U. S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation (2012) and scan down to the Workplace section (about a third of way down); it begins with a Workplace Summary and includes Key Findings.

Q2. There are more learning theories than we discussed this week. Research one that we did not cover in the lecture; write a summary of it; and tell us how you would apply it in developing training.

Q3. This week’s tool is an action plan for transferring learning. It was developed by Interhealth International, which also developed the interactive transfer of learning matrix mentioned in the Required Reading-Transfer of Learning. The first attachment is an example of a completed action plan; the second is a copy of the action plan in a Word format that can be completed using a computer.

Think about training that you have taken. If you had completed this action plan before, during, or after the training, do you think your transfer of learning would have been positively affected? Would you recommend this tool to T&D professionals?
