9. Learning is really about forgetting

10. Learning Pool ‘Encore’ addresses this
with Spaced Practice

11. Encore is:
Inspired by the Forgetting Curve & Spaced Practice
whereby repetition and revision of learning at timed
intervals helps to reinforce and fix learning.
We also call this ‘little and often learning’

12. 70 | 20 | 10

13. Lessons learned by successful
managers are roughly:
• 70% from tough jobs
• 20% from people (usually the boss)
• 10% from courses and reading

• Graphic
• Video

• Multiple choice question & feedback
• Activity link (sends you back to Evaluation form for example)

30. Designing Encore tasks
• Learner-centred / Role-centred
• Consider Action mapping
(what do we want people to ‘DO’ differently’)
• Reinforcing prior learning
• Reuse content
• Keep tasks short and focussed
• Use a mixture of task types
• Consider the spacing
