2What We Learned This Year

The Quest for Knowledge

.This publication was created by Central Ohio Association for

Talent and Development members participating in Employee

Learning Week activities in 2018. ATD’s Employee Learning Week

(ELW) is an awareness campaign highlighting the important

connection between learning and achieving organizational results.

Learning and Development (L&D) is an interdisciplinary profession

where many come from a variety of academic and work backgrounds.

Due to the diversity of backgrounds, it can be challenging for L&D

professionals to have a baseline of knowledge in learning theories

and technologies. Members were invited to share their tips and

information they learned in 2018 that helps them do the work they

do. This publication explores what tips and programs of our

members utilized this year and felt were worth sharing with the L&D

community. Enjoy!
