Learning can be counterintuitive. Professor Robert Bjork at UCLA uses the term “desirable difficulties” to refer to conditions of learning that feel worse but wind up being better. Recognizing that challenges during learning don’t necessarily indicate that someone is struggling – and can instead indicate the exact opposite – is essential for doing what’s best for your brain, yourself, and any learners whose training you oversee.
From 2000 to 2015, more than half a million people died from an overdose. Ninety-one Americans die every day from an opioid overdose. A clinician’s year of medical school completion is highly correlated with their knowledge about opioids. In an effort to combat this issue, AHEC in Charlotte, North Carolina deployed the Opioid Safe Use and Management course to 363 of their physicians in 2021.

25 percent of registered nurses and nursing students reported being physically assaulted. 93 percent of assaults come from patients. UCHealth developed a course that provides clinicians with de-escalation techniques to improve workforce safety and patient outcomes that resulted in a 34% decrease in workplace violence incidents.

There is a new training strategy that gets your residents on the floor faster. Bringing learning out of the classroom and into the minds of healthcare providers shortens time to proficiency.
In a series of studies published in July of 2020, researchers in the Bjork Learning and Forgetting Lab at UCLA have revealed how to construct true-false questions in a way that enhances learning beyond what previous true-false questions have been able to achieve.
BOULDER, Colo., Jan. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ - Amplifire has worked with WestJet to develop a B737 MAX Return to Service course. The course will be used as a part of the training to help pilots prepare for the MAX return to Canadian skies.
The world never entirely goes back to what it was before a time like this. Something we have all known for years but struggled to create just advanced 10+ years in only nine months. It's the notion that sophisticated adaptive online training done right significantly outperforms classroom training.
Amplifire’s adaptive eLearning platform is about “evidence-based” performance. It can drive many aspects of an innovative, digital transformation strategy. Castlight Health used it to build an expert workforce capable of achieving its business goals by finding and filling knowledge gaps and Confidently Held Misinformation (CHM) that lead to errors.
