Innovation in Learning?
The way we learn, interact with, and apply information is changing. Memorization and recall, although quite valuable, are giving way to other skills that are more applicable to an age where the information available is too vast to contain. The ability to find accurate, relevant information, for example, is one such skill. The appropriate application of that information is another. This is certainly the case when it comes to health, wellness, and healthcare delivery.
With increasing complexity and volume, combined with diluted relevance, knowing and doing are changing. Must our acquisition of knowledge and skills change? Certainly, in the high-risk environment of healthcare, we better find out.
