What Is Discovery Learning?
Discovery learning is a proven instructional approach that actively involves participants in the learning process. Techniques like business games, simulations and Discovery Maps® are all part of well-designed discovery learning sessions. They all lead to accelerated learning, high knowledge retention and motivated learners who can successfully transfer what they've learned in a classroom setting to their jobs.
What Is a Discovery Map®?
Discovery Map exercises are fully customized educational sessions designed to ensure the strategic alignment of employees around corporate vision, strategies and new initiatives. Colorful table-sized "maps" create a visual foundation for a one- to three-hour learning experience that transfers knowledge with unrivaled clarity using discovery learning techniques.
