Why continue with the mundane?

Human beings are learning machines: our survival has long depended on our ability to take lessons from experience and change our behaviour as a result. Why, then, is so much training today focused not on experience but rather on overly dense PowerPoint slides and lecture-style presentations?

If everyone agrees that learning needs to be interactive and hands-on...why do we then insist on continuing with the same boring classroom style lecture lessons? Why have our methods continued to lean toward the dull and mundane?

Learning new concepts needs to be interactive. Hands-on, just-in-time training is critical to developing not only knowledge but also skills—ensuring that learning is sustained.
