In a world dominated by doom-scrolling, streaming media, and overflowing to-do lists, learner attention is more fragmented than ever. Many people feel they simply don't have the time for training, or worse, that learning is boring, frustrating, or just another task to compete for their over-stretched focus. This session explores what modern attention means for today's learning experiences, and discusses how making relatable, human-centered training can cut through the noise and capture attention in ways that feel natural and meaningful.
Join Helen Bailey, Strategic Technical Advisor at Intellum, as she shares:
