Ideas Just-in-Case Learning versus Just-in-Time Learning “One of the most persuasive factors is the shrinking half-life of knowledge. The “half-life of knowledge” is the time span from when knowledge is gained to when it becomes obsolete. Half of what is known today was not known 10 years ago. The amount of knowledge in the world has doubled in the past 10 years and is doubling every 18 months according to the American Society of Training and Documentation. To combat the shrinking half-life of knowledge, organizations have been forced to develop new methods of deploying instruction.” Written by Gemechu Taye October 16, 2020October 16, 2020 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
