brain science and learning theory with the power of choice.

Let Them Choose, a new book by adult learning experts
Jillian Douglas and Shannon McKenzie, shows you how to get adult
learners out of their seats and into station-based activities
catered to distinct learning preferences, interaction types, and
technology options. Part experiential, part social, and part
emotional, the Cafeteria Learning style model encourages learners
to explore and absorb content at their own speed and direction. It
puts learners in the best position to succeed.
Apply content (the ingredients) to a variety of interchangeable
activities (the recipes) that result in learning experiences (the
meal) that acknowledge the diversity of your learners. Allow them
to decide whether to collaborate, compete, move around, or reflect,
on the own, with a partner, or in a group.
"Finally, a book that speaks the truth about the perils of
corporate training," says Tracey L.
Adams, PhD, Change and Learning Strategist at Nike. "Bravo
to Jillian and Shannon for addressing the action-oriented,
give-it-to-me-quickly learning needs of today's adults. Cafeteria
Learning will be the next evolution of design criteria to usher
instructional designers, trainers, and change strategists into the
future."
