Welcome

Hello! This is Dr. Will Thalheimer. Since founding Work-Learning Research in 1998, my goal has been to compile research from the world's preeminent refereed journals and translate that research with practical wisdom to help learning professionals create more effective learning.

Through my speaking engagements, workshops, learning audits, and consulting, I help enlightened clients build wildly more effective learning interventions. I can help your organization too.

Learning Audits

It's always a good idea to get an outside, unbiased perspective― especially when that perspective is based on years of practical experience and wisdom drawn from 10 years compiling research from the world's pre-eminent refereed journals on learning, memory, and performance.

My learning audits take many forms, from quick-and-dirty analyses of your learning programs or learning designs, to in-depth analyses of your workplace learning environment, benchmarking your learning interventions against the research-based best practices.

Or you can take it even further with control-group studies that can help you prove your effectiveness.
