Some educational reading for your greater learning contentment …
Janet Clarey: An instructor I use to work with told a story one day about a manager that had called him up to complain about the course he’d taught to one of the manager’s reports that week. His complaint? The employee … if you can believe it … had fun! So the instructor asked if, really, the manager was mad about the employee having fun at a mandatory training. There was spluttering, then sheepishness. Anyway, I was reminded of that story when reading Clarey’s guide to avoiding red alert levels of boredom in courses.
