Creative Training
I was looking at one of Bob Pike's old newsletters. He talks of the 90/20/8 rule. Adults can listen with understanding for 90 minutes. They can listen with retention for 20 minutes. We need to involve them every 8 minutes. At the end of 20 minutes learners may comprehend what is being taught but they cannot retain the information. Look at Bob Pike's Creative Training Techniques book to get more information.

Thanks for the mention. BTW, for live webinars the 90/20/8 rule becomes the 90/20/4 rule. The possibility for distraction and loss of focus is so much greater - email, web surfing, texting, doing other work - that we want to involve them every 4 minutes - MAX.
