Group Sales and Marketing Director, Ed Arnett, explains: "We were overwhelmed with top tips, filling our ideas board five times over! We received a wide variety of suggestions. Some had to do with the approach to learning, some focused on personal learning, and others threw in some humour for good measure! We are most grateful to all of the visitors at Learning Technologies 2009 who contributed."

The Top 10 learning tips are:

1. More time spent on training-needs analyses (TNA) will give you a greater return on investment.
2. Take the continuing professional development of your employees seriously.
3. Tell me and I might learn, involve me and I will learn.
4. Give context and examples before demonstrating mechanics and detail.
5. Use a blended program of eLearning and instructor-led training.
6. Keep training short and simple - bite-sized is best.
7. Make it fun: engagement = learning.
8. Know your audience and plan ahead.
9. Make it visual, rich and appealing to all the senses.
10. If you blush when presenting, wear a red jumper!
