Response to IT's Top 5 Training Mistakes

Obviously, for me, the biggest training mistake listed is Training Mistake #1: "You Didn't Plan For Training Upfront." If this matter could be resolved when rolling out new hardware/software for end-users within a company, we would have plenty less confusion and help desk calls. I personally encounter these outcomes when newer versions of (my company's) software is uploaded to user devices. Even while initially training new employees, certain practices are not implemented to instruct the new user for familiarization and appropriate learning for the technology they will be using. Also, not all IT specialists are as "out of tune" with audiences they are to instruct. When dealing with employees about the uses and functionality of devices, I can easily find myself connecting with the trainee in relation to the technology. If certain companies could consider more training for technological platforms, all business could perform better and as the article states, "be more productive in making money" and have "the equipment for a department to run more effectively."

My Learning Style Is...

My supposed learning style provided from the survey states that I "am fairly well balanced on the two dimensions of the scale and I have a moderate preference for one dimension of the scale and will learn more easily in a teaching environment which favors that dimension."

I beg to see things my way however,...
My learning style is how i see the world along with personal experience and thought. I don't need surveys to speculate or provide me with answers for the way i learn. I think of myself as creative and imaginative who can work with many people in many environments. Even though we have taken surveys, I do belive we can figure this out for ourselves.
