Today's multimedia-rich world is a learning treasure-trove. The Internet, PDAs, e-books, webinars, podcasts, YouTube—as well as experience itself—all offer real-time/just-in-time information. It's the people themselves who are in the driver's seat, defining needs, searching for and selecting information, processing it, and turning it into behavior and results. But how efficient and effective is the individual learning process?

Teachers and coaches study learning and teaching for years so they can find the best information and package and present it for optimal learning and results. The same is not true for individuals as self-managers of their learning: much learning is inefficient and often incomplete. This webinar will present six important areas where learners need to excel—and will suggest ways learning and development professionals can help employees to become top-notch learners in a self-service learning world.
