Edgar Dale went on to develop the much copied "Cone of Experience", which illustrates why seeing and doing result in greater recall than the passive act of reading.

This astonishing recall is the central argument offered in the upcoming Digital Learning & Education's Future seminar in London on 27 June. There, experts from the world of commerce, education, the third sector, and government will explain why digital learning offers timely, cost-effective solutions to a huge range of educational needs.

The seminar programme offers insights from commentators, thought leaders, and professionals into their own experiences with digital learning and why it is revolutionizing how we learn.

DLM's June seminar is the first in an ongoing series of events that will update participants on digital learning's latest developments and position the organization as the "one-stop shop" for this revolutionary learning method.

The keynote presentation will be by Shay McConnon, an award-winning motivational speaker and the creator of the team-building programme An Even Better Place to Work that has been chosen as one of the first new products for DLM's digital learning catalogue.

Not only is Shay McConnon an accomplished presenter, he is also a well-regarded member of the Magic Circle and illustrates his presentations with more than a touch of magic. His role on 27 June is to show just how magical digital learning can be.
