I hear the term 'Brain Friendly Training Facilitation' being used a lot in the training world, but what does 'Brain Friendly' really mean to us as training facilitators?

Well, with all the research being carried out in the world of Neuroscience, we can move away from training theory and move towards implementing strategies on how the brain learns best.  Obviously there are many factors involved in being 'Brain Friendly' but to start with we need to have some basic understanding of how the brain learners.

"Your brain has two parallel visual systems. The impact of this is that everything you see is recorded as what (content), and where (context). That means your brain sorts incoming data based on whether it is 'embedded' in content or 'embedded' in context." Eric Jensen

With this tip, I want to start you thinking beyond film clips. I'd like you to start and think about using asynchronous and synchronous video.
