Learning Formats

One topic, several ways to learn it.

Topic: What is learned — for example prompt engineering or SI for managers. Topics are organized in learning domains.
Format: How it is delivered — public or private, in person or virtual, live or self-paced, or blended.
Solution: What surrounds the training for an organization — assessments, briefings, champions or program design.
