Why Fungaging Learning is for you.

💡 Why Should You Settle for Less? Rethinking Adult Learning the Fungaging Way

Why are adults still expected to learn the way kids are taught—even when we know better?

We’ve known for decades that people learn in different ways: visual, auditory, kinesthetic, verbal, logical, and more. Yet, somehow, once you graduate into adulthood, the system expects you to adapt to a one-size-fits-all model: sit still, watch a long video, click through slides, check a quiz box. Training complete. Growth optional.

If you've ever sat through mandatory annual training—death by PowerPoint, mind-numbing videos, or “professional development” that is anything but—you know what I’m talking about.

The irony? These trainings are usually labeled as “data-driven.”

But the data tells a different story.

📊 The Research Says Otherwise

A National Research Council report confirms that adults learn best when the learning is active, relevant, and self-directed (NRC, 2000). The Journal of Workplace Learning has found that interactive, problem-solving activities significantly outperform passive lectures when it comes to retention and skill application.

So why are we still being talked at instead of taught with?

🚧 Real Talk: Learning Shouldn’t Feel Like a Wind Tunnel

Hi, I’m Lori Luna, founder of Fungaging Learning, and I’ve been where you are.

Like many of you, I’m not a "traditional" learner. I need time to process, make connections, and apply what I’ve learned in ways that make sense for my brain.

Have you ever tried catching dollar bills in a wind tunnel? That's what traditional training feels like—information flying at you from all directions, and by the time you find your footing, the session’s halfway over. Good luck catching anything useful.

Let’s not even talk about the distractions—other participants chatting about unrelated things while you’re trying to keep up with instructions you never had a chance to understand.

🎯 So, What Makes Fungaging Learning Different?

At Fungaging Learning, you are the lesson.

Instead of being told what to do in a one-way lecture, you get:

✅ Hands-on guidance as you build your own spreadsheet, graphic, form, or document
✅ Time to pause, process, and ask questions—without fear or judgment
✅ Humor, hints, and collaboration to keep things light and engaging
✅ Real-world applications of what you’re learning, personalized to your need
✅ A “learning by doing” environment backed by adult learning science

✨ Learn at Your Pace, in Your Way

You’re not lazy. You’re not slow. You’re not “unteachable.”

You’re just not built for passive learning—and that’s okay.

Fungaging Learning was built for adults like you—curious, capable, and ready to learn differently.

So the next time someone tells you, “You just have to get through it,” remember:
📌 You deserve better.
📌 You can learn.
📌 You just need the right approach.

Give yourself a chance. You know you want to.
