Virtual learning

18/12/2012 /

Knowledge is power, but virtual learning is brilliant! Keep learning everyone.

This is the message that Janine N. Truitt, a human resources professional, conveys in her article “The Futurism of HR Technology: Virtual Learning” published on toolbox.com

Learning as we know it in HR (but not only) is rapidly changing.
Gone are the days of physically traveling to a venue to sit in a chair and hear a presentation.

Learning and training alike have gone virtual and there is no turning back.

What happens in your brain while you multitask?

A study by Zhen Wang and Clifford Nass from Stanford University, analyzes what happens in a brain while a person is multitasking. Multitasking, at first sight, looks very productive and seems the best way to solve several problems at the same time, without ignoring even just one of them.

The study, instead, shows that multitasking decreases brain efficiency and doesn’t help memory and filtering of information. Listening to music, instead isn’t a way of multitasking and can also help the person to be more efficient and concentrated.
