Session: We need to talk about "engagement"

September 30th, 2022 1:15 - 2:00p

With so many people and products in the learning and development space screaming at the top of their lungs about engagement, we need to take a step back and think about what we're actually talking about.

In this session, we'll look at what the evidence says about learner engagement; what it is, why it's important, and most importantly how to create it.

Spoiler alert: despite what you've been told chances are you do not have an engagement problem, and you don't need that new shiny bit of technology.
