Learning retention may be an unknown term but it is much familiar from our childhood. How many of us remember what we learned in school or college? Can we recall all that we learned? Certainly not. But we do remember certain concepts, lessons, life lessons, formulas, laws, etc. Why is it so? This is because these are there in our permanent memory.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our brain doesn’t transfer everything that we learn into our permanent memory<\/strong>. Remember the time when some of us cleared our exams by studying just the night before the exam. But if asked to write the same exam within a few days then the results would differ. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the concept of learning retention<\/strong>. When we are reading it for the first time we retain only a percentage of it. To master it we revise multiple times but still, we tend to forget it in the long run unless it gets embedded in our memory. We can recall things better if we have higher learning retention. That is why kids are made to repeat the same thing multiple times so that it gets embedded into their permanent memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now let us replicate this to corporate learning. Do you think that the method of rote learning would work in corporate training? Can we just make the employees sit for one-week training and bombard them with information<\/strong> and can we expect them to remember everything in return? It will destroy the whole purpose of training. And now that most of the businesses are turning towards LMS (Learning Management System)<\/strong> for training purposes it becomes even more important to ensure learning retention in eLearning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So we know that it is important to retain what we learn but how do we ensure this. Well, there are a couple of ways to ensure this:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
