It’s been a while since the last TZ Community Roundup so here’s a quickfire, bumper edition with some of the top community content from the last couple of months.
Polls first - it seems that just under two thirds of you aren’t happy with the ROI on your training investment. If you’re not confident that you’re spending your training budget effectively, what are the things that you feel need improving? Hopefully the next time we ask the question of ROI, things will have improved! On a more positive note, however, it’s good to see that TZ members are overwhelmingly happy with their presentation skills. Practice certainly makes perfect!

“Gamification” is a term that can be thrown around a lot. AurionLearning took the time to look at how it can augment and improve e-learning, provided the priorities are properly considered first.
Finally, the Spicy Learning Blog recommends we look to children and behaviour the classroom to better understand social learning and how it can help teams develop.
Finally, here are some of the highlights from recent Any Answers posts:
Oh dear - how do you deal with an overkeen delegate?

Thanks as always to everyone who has asked a question, shared their thoughts in a blog or simply added a comment to a thought-provoking thread. The TZ community is what makes us one of the most vibrant and useful places online for trainers!
