generation X:These groups of learners like interaction, activity, and multi-tasking. They are non-linear and love multimedia.Xers respond best to training materials with fewer words than those designed for older generations. They don’t need as much as their older—or younger—colleagues and are attracted to pages that provide lots of visual stimulation, such as headlines, subheads, quotes, graphics, and lists.
Millennial generation:This is a powerful generation that has a holistic perspective, anticipates needed change, and has the flexibility to adapt to changing circumstances.They will need more supervision and structure than their Xer predecessors. They will look for more attention and structure from the authority figure. Their preferred learning environment combines personal challenge (like Xers), teamwork (like boomers), and technology. In a training room with lots of Millennials, give everyone a task.Millennials are motivated to learn skills and information that will help make their working lives less stressful and will move them closer to achieving personal potential and passions in the workplace.
