Search Find Learn

Michelle Gallen's e-learning blog.

Why Search Find Learn?

Because I feel that Search, Find, Learn describes how we learn in the 21st century - we Search for what we need to know, we Find it, and we Learn it. This blog explores how technology is helping us do that.

Humans have been on a learning journey since the dawn of time. And it's never been so exciting. If you're using technology in an effective, experimental or innovative way, I'd love to hear from you. I can blog about your project/website/idea, or you can contribute a guest post. Send me an email describing what you're up to.

Is your e-learning as attention grabbing as this?

So I don't know how some Cebu Pacific Flight Attendants got permission to demonstrate their in-flight safety demonstration by dancing to Lady Gaga, but it's certainly attention-grabbing. Even worthy of applause. Over 3.6 million people have watched this online in just TWO days. Check it out below.



Now the academic part of my brain is saying to itself, ah now, but really, how EFFECTIVE was that learning? Was retention strong? Were the learning outcomes clearly assessed and measured?

All I can say to that is my learning and retention of in traditional flight safety demonstrations is probably dangerously poor. And that's despite years of repetition. To add insult to injury, I've been bored senseless during these demonstrations.

After watching this video, although I can't tell you which passenger action is a criminal offence, I have a very clear and funny memory of how to DO stuff. That sticks.

NB I would NOT like this type of demonstration on a red-eye flight.
