Research to Practice

Because research into learning and organizational processes can inform design of learning materials–and a many other aspects of work life, I have conducted research activities regarding the transfer of research into practice.  Some involve study of the use of research by practicing professionals; others are pilot projects for novel ways of transferring research to practice.

Current Projects

Host, Research-to-Practice Day at the CSTD Conference and Trade Show.

Advise on program selection and serve as host of the annual Research-to-Practice event at the annual conference of the Canadian Society for Training and Development. 2012, 2010, 2009. This is one of the pilot projects mentioned earlier. It has also resulted in a series of articles that provide practicing professionals with guidelines for practice, summarized from the research presented at this event.
