Question 1

Cloud computing permits employees to access formal training programs only from a specific educational institution.

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False  False

Question 2

Discuss how training program design is being influenced by neuroscience research.

Accepted Answer

Advances in neuroscience are increasing researchers' ability to study the brain and its functioning. These advances are leading to a better understanding of how we learn, which can be used to design more effective training. For example, researchers have shown that whether an idea can be easily recalled is linked to the strength of activating the hippocampus, located in the lower section of the brain, during a learning task. The stronger the hippocampus is stimulated during learning, the greater the recall of the idea. Research on the hippocampus has identified the conditions that are necessary for learning to occur, which include attention, generation, emotion, and spacing.
From a training perspective, learners have to eliminate distractions, they need to make their own connections to new ideas, and they need some but not overwhelming emotional stimulation. Long-term recall is better when we learn information over several different time periods rather than all at once.
