When we have an opportunity to understand L&D and Leadership trends from global L&D experts we should take them, right? On the eve of DevLearn, David Kelly (Chairman of the Learning Guild) gives us his perspective on the things we should be paying attention to as well as the areas we should be focusing our development on. KEY TAKEAWAYS Technology is changing the L&D landscape and we need to evolve with it, but this is something L&D has always done, the same conversations are happening the circumstances are just slightly different. L&D can sometimes be one of the first departments to be downsized if a company just looks at them as a cost centre, rather than how they should be looking at them, as a performance partner that is connected to driving the organisation forward. Mixed reality is very powerful, AR and VR can be good solutions to specific problems but their advantages and speed have slowed down, with AI taking a lot of attention away from development. Whilst AI is impacting many areas of almost all organisations, it's important to understand where your organisation sits on takeup and where you can fit into that and act accordingly. L&D can appear to be susceptible to 'trends' but this isn't negative. Those who work in L&D are naturally curious and are looking for ways to help and support people's growth which naturally lends itself to new ideas and tools. As the world develops and changes around us, so does how we learn, are our education and learning models keeping up pace? Leadership is something that is given by others and it isn't a set of traits but skills that can be learnt. Leadership is about what we do, rather than who we are. You can be an effective leader at any level of an organisation; it's about how you approach the job you are assigned. A modern L&D organisation always needs to be looking to what's next, what does the L&D need to look like to support the organisation in the future. BEST MOMENTS 'I was always very involved in my career at giving back to the industry' ‘The industry is in the exact same space it's been for 20 years' ‘I can tell you that the industry is growing rapidly…doesn't make a difference where I am working for an organisation where I am seen as a cost that needs to be mitigated' 'AI is sucking all the energy out of the room' 'Hype is nothing more than shared energy, but what is driving that energy' 'We don't want to do something because it's cool but because it can make a difference' 'My focus in leadership in the L&D space is removing the role from the equation and focusing more on the environment that learning exists' David Kelly Bio As Chairman of the Learning Guild, David Kelly constantly explores the convergence of learning and technology, demonstrating a profound commitment to transforming workplaces and enriching lives through innovative learning strategies. With over two decades of experience in learning and performance leadership and consulting, he brings his passion to life in his daily work building events and resources with the Guild and as a dynamic speaker and writer, inspiring others to view their work through a fresh, technology-enhanced lens.

Hey listeners! No new episode this week, but we wanted to revisit this 2022 classic with Jane Bozarth because we thought it paired nicely with the latest edition of our L&D Dispatch newsletter. Do check out the newsletter Ross G discussed on our L&D Dispatch page, 'Four papers that will make you laugh (then make you think)'. Regular show notes below. --- In learning science, there are certain ideas that have leapt the fences of academia and seeped into the public consciousness. Often, these ideas gain traction because they feel intuitively true. But what does the data say? And how should we apply these ideas as learning professionals? This week on The Mind Tools L&D Podcast, Ross Garner and Ross Dickie are joined by Jane Bozarth, Director of Research for the Learning Guild, to discuss three research papers that challenge the received wisdom. We cover: Generational difference Learning styles The “Marshmallow Test”. The three papers we discussed were: 'Generational Differences in Work-Related Attitudes: A Meta-analysis', published in 2012 in the Journal of Business and Psychology. 'Another Nail in the Coffin for Learning Styles? Disparities among Undergraduate Anatomy Students' Study Strategies, Class Performance, and Reported VARK Learning Styles', published in 2018 in Anatomical Sciences Education. 'Revisiting the Marshmallow Test: A Conceptual Replication Investigating Links Between Early Delay of Gratification and Later Outcomes', published in Psychological Science in 2018. The Atlantic did a good write-up of the controversy surrounding the 'Marshmallow Experiment'. See here: https://www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2018/06/marshmallow-test/561779/ In ‘What I Learned This Week', Ross Garner mentioned a Twitter thread from Aaron Berman, in which he shares writing tips from his time as editor of the US President's daily brief: https://twitter.com/aarondberman/status/1541576231891525633?s=21&t=1_oHB0tqjbt4VXZXmTMnXQ Jane spoke about Kate the Chemist's recent session at DevLearn.

So it's been a couple of weeks since I've released a podcast episode, but in case you didn't know, all of the episodes are streamed on Crowdcast, and I also post them to YouTube. So the last few episodes were visual; last week's episode was based on icebreakers using slides, and before that, I streamed live from DevLearn in Las Vegas. I can't format those appropriately for a podcast, but you can find them on www.TheTLDC.com or on our YouTube channel. This episode was great for a podcast. Jo Cook did a TLDC takeover to announce her and Jane Daly releasing a research report on Hybrid and Virtual Learning. Jo is an amazing Virtual Learning facilitator, and the report findings led to lots of community discussion, which you'll hear Jo share. Give it a listen - there's lots to learn here for everyone from VILT Producers to Zoom attendees.

To go or not to go? That is the question when it comes to industry events. The conference landscape changed dramatically in 2020 as in-person events were replaced by online activities. Today, employees have hundreds of online options - webinars, events, podcasts, livestreams - to support of their development. Does this mean in-person conferences are a thing of the past, or are they still a meaningful part of professional development that's worth the investment?David Kelly, CEO of The Learning Guild, sits down with JD Dillon to discuss the realities of industry events in our increasingly hybrid workplace. David shares his perspective on the value of in-person conferences along with his vision for enabling professional development across the global L&D community. David also previews The Guild's upcoming Learning 2022 (Orlando) and DevLearn (Las Vegas) conferences.Plus, JD shares 10 expert tips for getting the most of our your conference experience.

Communicating clearly is probably the most difficult thing anyone can do in business. Our job as Instructional Designers is often to make better communication happen under the guise of "we need everyone to be better trained on _______". It doesn't matter what level you are at within your training team or the overall organization. Everyone from the new intern to the experienced CLO needs to improve their ability to communicate complex ideas and concepts in order to influence others into action. This is where Visual Language Theory comes into play. Kevin Thorn joins us to explore concepts on how to better communicate ideas and transform those ideas into a visual language. One of the most important aspects of this process (and coincidentally in our ID work) is extracting you and your stakeholders' ideas and converting them into a universal visual language that your target audience will clearly understand. We'll discuss the entire process using old school "pen & paper" so that it's accessible to everyone including those professionals not interested in mastering new design tools.Join us for this session and find out how you can also get more in-depth instruction and training on these processes from Kevin at other events like DevLearn and StepAway.Desgin.Become virtual friends with the IDIODC gang on Twitter.

David Kelly, The Learning GuildMy guest for today is David Kelly, the CEO of The Learning Guild, one of the largest communities of professionals who support the design, development, strategy, and management of organizational learning. They publish numerous titles you're probably already aware of and they are also the conveners of DevLearn, one of the most popular learning conferences out there.In this forward looking conversation, David and I discuss:
Instructional Designers and eLearning developers play an important role in DEI programs. When stock characters are required it's often difficult to find the right image that reflects your requirements. And when you do find something that works it's often quite boring and unfitting of the style you had designed. So, we're often left wondering, "I wish I could make my own diverse set of characters for my eLearning content".Kevin Thorn, joins us to do just that. Kevin is the Chief NuggetHead of NuggetHead Studioz and our guest for the ongoing favorite Drink'n'Draw series. In this episode Kevin will walk us through the process of designing and sketchnoting our own diverse characters for eLearning.If you're new to Sketchnoting, then I would encourage you to go through Kevin's "Sketchnote School".https://nuggethead.net/2013/09/sketchnote-school-6-steps-to-great-conference-sketchnotes/He wrote the series of 6 Blog Posts teaching conference attendees how to sketchnote during DevLearn.

Storyboarding is a basic skillset often overlooked by instructional designers and project managers. For many developers the storyboarding process is bypassed in favor of building an eLearning "proof of concept". This is great for developers given the storyboarding task, and for one-person ID teams to optimize their project processes. However, storyboarding is a valuable skill for everyone to learn. Storyboarding can be used to communicate ideas and concepts in more powerful ways with stakeholders and clients to increase understanding and overall chances of project success. Sketching interaction ideas/concepts can also improve communications between designers and developers. In this episode, Kevin Thorn joins us for our recurring IDIODC Drink'n'Draw show where Kevin teaches instructional designers different aspects of drawing applied to the work of instructional designers and eLearning developers.Become virtual friends with the IDIODC gang on Twitter.

As a concept, spaced repetition has been around for decades. Yet in many organisations, learning is seen in terms of one-off interventions, delivered through a classroom or an LMS. In this week's episode of The Mind Tools L&D Podcast, Ross D and Gemma are joined by Sarah Mercier, CEO of Learning Ninjas, to discuss: what spaced learning is, and how to design for it what good spaced practice looks like the technological boundaries to implementing spaced learning Show notes When speaking about her project with the US military, Sarah mentioned xAPI. If you're interested in learning more about xAPI, we covered it in episodes 102 and 113.

Microlearning has been a popular topic in the eLearning industry for many years now. Many people still don't agree on the same definition, but I think it's safe to say that most definition involve 2 elements: Shorter media of any kind, and mostly short videos. Instead of forcing learners to sit through a training video that is an hour long, target your message and create individually focused, shorter videos instead. LaTarshia Wooten gave an amazing virtual session at last years online version of DevLearn. We're very happy to bring her to IDIODC so the community can get to know her as well. She's a motivated practitioner of Learning Experience Design and quickly embracing a growing career. We'll discuss 5 different methods for creating microlearning videos and the pros and cons of each. We'll also talk about why microlearning is a trend and what the value is to your business. Who knows, you may already be creating microlearning and didn't even know it. Join the conversation and find out.LaTashia is a Learning Experience Designer with a background in communication and educational media. She has four years of experience with programming eLearning courses in Articulate Storyline 360. She also has experience implementing and serving as an administrator on a learning management system as well as programming videos using Vyond and Camtasia. Also, in the last few years, she's had the opportunity to speak at various conferences such as DevLearn and Learning Solutions. She believes that learning should be fun, interactive, and provides value to the learner.Become virtual friends with the IDIODC gang on twitter.

Are You DDX Experienced? In this episode, we talked with Cara North, Crystal Rose, Jonathan Hill, Bryan Smith, and Joseph Suarez about their experience attending the DevLearn Digital Experience or DDX. DevLearn is one of the most popular conferences in L&D, and like every other face-to-face event out there, went all digital for this year's version. Everyone in our panel, except Crystal, were speakers at the event, and Crystal was one of the support staff at DDX. This would be a good episode for you if you were an attendee of the event, or interested in participating in future Learning Guild online events.
Photo by Chris Montgomery on Unsplash This is the time of year where we see conferences like DevLearn (which we spoke at last year), The Guild's Learning Conference, and this year, for the first time ever, we had a three-week run of Customer Education conferences! Now, these were all online conferences since we're in the midst of Covid-related travel and gathering restrictions, but in a way this may have enabled us to see what we saw this year - three customer education conferences in a row! So what were the conferences? The fun started with CEdMA's annual conference, continued with Skilljar Connect next week. We've spoken at both of these conferences before, and they were joined by a new, third conference - Thought Industries COGNITION. Instead of recapping each conference individually, this episode is a rollup of all three featuring some of the themes and trends we saw along the way! The Shift to Online Conferences In this episode we begin by exploring the Pros and Cons of our Shift to Online Conferences. Online or Virtual conferences are hard to pull off. The main uptick for most attendees is that we have a lot more flexibility. Recordings are typically available for all sessions, so this really helped many of us with busy schedules pick and choose and catch up if we missed anything. Of course, there are cons. New technologies and the complexity of working with many integrated technologies, and even our own Internet (or lack thereof) caused some issues. We personally experienced some of this, but as Customer Education folks we rolled with the punches. CEdMA Connect 2020 CEdMA's Connect 2020 event was the first stop on our tour where we presented our Customer Education Manifesto for the first time (and do a to a live audience!). We enjoyed the keynote from Bill Cushard - “The Next Big Thing in Customer Education”. The “7 Habits of Inclusive Leaders” from Melissa Majors was a great addition that injected much-needed DE&I content. Alessandra Marinetty delivered a great case study on the development of Box's event-based Certification Program, and much more. Skilljar Connect 2020 Of all the events we attended, Skilljar Connect 2020 takes the prize for being the most social - leveraging Hopin to satisfy the missing puzzle piece of networking. Skilljar executed well on this event - deploying a content track in addition to more traditionally table steaks of material focused on leadership, strategy, monetization, and more. For example, Debbie Smith from Braze was a huge hit (worth watching if you couldn't make it). Randon and Kyle from JAMF dropped sage advice on creating content at scale. Beyond this we experienced some great material from OSISoft on Training a Global Audience, the LinkedIn education teams (and yes, there are many) talked about aligning across several product lines, and the Slack team shared how they assembled their Study Guide for their new Certification. We did our first ever Live Mailbag episode based on the popular

Let’s put Microlearning in focus for Customer Education (Photo by Markus Spiske on Unsplash) In this “mini” episode, we focus on microlearning and share some things we learned from one of the industry experts on the subject. At DevLearn 2019, we had the great opportunity to talk with Carla Torgerson, the Director of Instructional Design at Bull City Learning immediately following her “Create Effective Microlearning” course. We covered our experiences at DevLearn in Episode 28. What does microlearning entail? How can a Customer Education team benefit from using it in their Education Strategy? A hint? A micro format “with particular, targeted focus on something a customer wants to do“, maps well with our mission in Customer Education to help get customers up-to-speed quickly, and helps to increase adoption / avoid churn of our products. Customers get to choose if or when they’re going to consume your content. This “micropodcast” will give you some other tools to think about adding to your toolkit.

In this episode, Cara has a great conversation with self-proclaimed immersive experience designer, Betty Dannewitz. Betty's passion is to help people become better humans and believes innovative technology has an HUGE role in making that happen. Since this episode was recorded, she's started her own excellent podcast, If You Ask Betty. Check it out. Connect with Betty (ifyouaskbetty on social media)Connect with Cara & Joe Support the show Music created by Jahzzar. Show Transcript: North, Cara A. 0:00 Have you had a dream and you've just wondered how to execute it? Or do you feel like you are put on this planet to do a little bit more? Today we're talking to someone who I met via social media, and I'm sure you will fall in love with her as quickly as we have. Her name is Betty Dannewitz, and she is the owner of If you ask Betty. On today's episode of Instructional Redesign Podcast, we're going to talk with Betty about a lot of different topics. We're gonna talk about how she got to that point, maybe a little bit about her background, some of the work that she's done an augmented reality. But a real reason that I brought Betty on today's podcast is she really is innovative, and is a big inspiration to folks that are really scared of trying something new. So Betty, welcome so much to the Instructional Redesign podcast. Betty Dannewitz 0:52 Thanks so much for having me. I'm excited. North, Cara A. 0:54 Yeah, well, thank you again for being here. I guess I should introduce myself again, my name is Cara North. I am one of the hosts of Instructional Redesign podcast, stories and conversations about the modern learning experience. And like I said, I met Betty on I believe it was either LinkedIn, or Twitter and we just hit it off. I think she actually said, I think we should be friends. Is that how it happened? Betty Dannewitz 1:18 That's exactly how it happened yes I'm glad you recall that. North, Cara A. 1:22 Well, it's it's funny because you know, you put out so much stuff on social media and you don't know if any of it is really connecting with people. You don't know if it's an echo chamber, but it was great to meet Betty and actually got to meet her face to face at Devlearn in 2019. And it was it was pretty epic. So I want you all to get to know Betty a little bit better. So Betty, can you tell us a little bit about yourself? How did you get into the learning development space? Betty Dannewitz 1:48 Sure. I am an immersive experience designer, which is a title I've given myself, and I'm fine with that. I have been in corporate learning and development for like 17 years. So I started out working for a financial institution as a bank teller and worked my way up in the brick and mortar, and then transitioned over into training. And there's a longer story behind that. But anyways, I've been in training for 17 years learning and development, all those fancy words we want to use. I'm also a speaker, I'm a high performance coach, and content and curriculum consultant. So that's where you're talking about that innovation. I appreciate that wonderful comment. Wonderful compliment is a better word. I am I try to be innovative, you know, my passion, really, my mission is to help people become better humans. And I think I'm very strongly believe that innovative technology has a huge role in making that happen. North, Cara A. 2:47 I love that. And if you again, don't know about it, you don't follow her on social media, one thing that I was really taken very quickly with her is just her authenticity of what she shares. So I totally get a couple of different vibes when I read what Betty puts out there. The first vibe I get is definitely like a la Rosie The Riveter, because you just get this really kind of strong female perspective from everything that she puts out. Another influence I totally get from her is kind of that nurturing coach that really has your best interest at ...
Cara interviews John Hinchliffe, Instructional Design Expert at UAEU. Connect with John Connect with Cara & Joe Support the show Music created by Jahzzar. Show Transcript: North, Cara A. 0:03 Hi listeners! It's one of your hosts, Cara North. And today I have a very special treat for you on the Instructional Redesign podcast. If you know me, you know that I love conferences. I love going to conferences for the knowledge, but equally as important are the people. Last year I had the opportunity to go to Devlearn, and I met a wonderful learning development professional, who I'm sure we can learn so much from his name is John Hinchliffe! John, welcome to Instructional Redesign podcast. Hinchliffe, John 0:36 Thank you very much. North, Cara A. 0:38 Again, a pleasure to have you. John is actually in the UAE is currently where he lives at and if you will, John, can you give our listeners just a little bit background about you and what you're currently up to? Hinchliffe, John 0:53 Yeah, sure thing. Thanks a lot for having me on here. Really big fan of it. Now when it comes to me I've been in learning and development for over 10 years now. And I started out as a face to face trainer for a bank and started to really develop into digital learning about seven years ago. So I started in instructional design, understanding kind of what words instructional design pedagogies started looking at authoring tools. Then I joined a fantastic e learning company with virtual college in the UK. And just really making wonderful pieces of E learning and just being given the freedom to really understand what works, what kind of really helps our customers. And I became instructional design manager there and I won Learning Professional of the Year Bronze when I was there, which was a wonderful thing. And I also joined as a volunteer position on the board of directors for the E Learning Network, which is one of the biggest nonprofits in the E learning industry had a really great time that just really helping people understand what they can do in the industry. How they can progress. And from there, I have now moved out here to the UAE I personally worked for the United Arab Emirates University as their instructional design expert. And I take care of around 700 members of faculty helping them evolve from just face to face learning to blended learning. So telling them you know, about how do we learn, but also how do we forget as human beings? And also what technology can we utilize? And also what learning experiences can we incorporate to really help the 16,000 students that we have here? And in addition to that, I also help with our PhD students that we have here. So PhD students who are looking to become faculty, I give them insights into what is modern learning and how can they really incorporate that? Because that's real knock on effect for the future generations. So kind of in a nutshell, that's me. North, Cara A. 2:54 I love it. And I didn't know that about the PhD piece of what you do, and it's something that I've kind of learned the hard way in my own PhD journeys, is, you know, a lot of times in my role, and I also work at a university, it's very easy to get frustrated with faculty and also the system. But then I take a step back. And I think, you know, these folks that are teaching, typically in a PhD program, there are not any courses on how to teach. It's just hyper concentrated in whatever it is that they're trying to study. So I love that you have the opportunity to kind of work with with them on that piece. And I also didn't know you started as a stand up trainer. I did too. So I think there's Yeah, there's a lot of us out there that started in that ILT space and then kind of pivoted into the digital space. So I love that. So it sounds like you have a pretty diverse background with corporate and higher education. And obviously, you've been in this space for for a while,

With all of the "cool kids" at DevLearn this week I wanted to take a moment to share my personal list of conferences in the area of Instructional Technology, Instructional Design, Distance Education and the like. The list has a good dose of K12, Higher Ed, and Industry so feel free to take a look. It's organized chronologically by month so if there are times that are a bit more free than others it's a good way to search. Smaller regional conferences are also great ones to check out as well for those of us who can't travel as much as we'd like. I'm sorry for my international friends the list is quite US Centric but I'd love suggestions for international conferences to add. It will be a few years before I'm able to get much international travel in but once I am able to travel more that is something I want to prioritize.

This episode is a brief conversation with Kristen Hayden Safdie, Learning Technology Specialist at Motivf. We discuss her upcoming DevLearn Session "What's Your Problem? Using Design Thinking to Frame Performance Issues". If you're interested in using design thinking to solve some of your instructional design challenges, this is a great interactive session to attend next week in Las Vegas.
The Beatles said it best. We get by with a little help from our friends. Or something like that. And it’s true. We learn more and become more productive when we’re with other people, especially our friends and trusted colleagues. However, bringing a group together for an impactful conversation with meaningful outcomes does not happen by accident. We used to solve this problem with single events. The newer, more successful approach is long term, connected groups, communicating virtually and in periodic group gatherings. It’s a cohort of professionals supporting each other in the long term process of learning, and behaviour change. While Brent is away this week, Megan Torrance is joining Chris to talk about the power of learning with your friends. You may know Megan from her years of experience running the xAPI Cohort, or her past episodes on IDIODC. In this conversation we’ll talk with Megan about how the cohort framework can be applied in so many different corporate situations as a comprehensive learning and development solution. Megan Torrance is CEO and founder of TorranceLearning, which helps organizations connect learning strategy to design, development, data and ultimately performance. Megan has over 25 years of experience in learning design, deployment and consulting. Megan and the TorranceLearning team are passionate about sharing what works in learning so they devote considerable time to teaching and sharing about Agile project management for learning experience design and, of course, the xAPI. TorranceLearning hosts the xAPI Learning Cohort, a free, virtual 12-week learning-by-doing opportunity where teams form on the fly and create proof-of-concept xAPI projects. Megan is the author of The Quick Guide to LLAMA, and two ATD TD at Work publications: Agile and LLAMA® for ISD Project Management and Making Sense of xAPI. She is a frequent speaker at conferences nationwide. TorranceLearning projects have won several Brandon Hall Group awards, the 2014 xAPI Hyperdrive contest at DevLearn, and back-to-back eLearning Guild DemoFest Best-In-Show awards in 2016/2017 with xAPI projects.

This episode is part three of our informal trilogy about instructional design in customer education. (See parts one and two.) What does it take to become a great instructional designer or content developer in Customer Education. How can you succeed in the role if you’re transitioning from another career? We'll tackle these questions and more, so listen in! For those making the leap into Customer Education as Instructional Designers, they typically come from three places: Customer Success and Support: The rock-star customer-facing folks who love educating their customers, and want to do it full-timeInternal L&D: Education experts who have been working in corporate L&D or enablement, and want to transition to external educationMaster's programs: People who have committed to get a degree in instructional design or instructional systems design Which is best? Are any of them best? The big question most people ask is whether they need a degree to be most successful in the field. What's more important, field experience or a degree? https://www.pexels.com/@startup-stock-photos We'll look at these three common paths and give some perspective on them. How do CSMs and support agents become Customer Educators? Let’s start with one of the most frequent places we see customer education-focused trainers and content developers come from. And the younger the company, the more frequently we see this happen. They’re rockstar CSMs or support agents who naturally gravitate toward training customers or documenting things. This can be great career development. If you spend all your time with customers, then you tend to have more customer empathy, something that more frequently doesn’t factor into more academic instructional design. If you love training customers and helping them learn, this can be a career path. Plus you get the benefit of learning instructional design and content development skills, which you probably didn’t have before. The risk in coming from this side of the house is that many startups don’t realize what skills are needed to do this job well. When support agents become “the training person,” they get asked to put together decks and webinars, but they don’t always know what will make that content effective. So they become order takers instead of consultants. It’s also hard for them to find mentors who really know this field well, especially with a customer education focus. Our recommendation to these “accidental instructional designers” is to go to conferences like ATD TechKnowledge and DevLearn, to take instructional design and content development courses and bootcamps (like you can find on any online learning site -- LinkedIn Learning, etc), to follow great instructional designers (Julie Dirksen, Cathy Moore, Connie Malamed, Cara North, and Melissa Milloway are all great examples of instructional design pros who "work out loud") and join communities (
Skilljar Connect 2018 In this episode of CELab, Adam shares his experiences from Skilljar Connect, hosted in Seattle on November 14 and 15, 2018. Adam shares his experiences in talking on a panel hosted by Maria Manning Chapman from TSIA focused on Content effectiveness and how to make training stick! Join us for this recap and tons of myths and misconceptions about content! This week on CELab, we recap another Customer Education conference: Skilljar Connect! Adam attended and spoke on a panel at the conference, and it was a great day spent with other Customer Educators. Let’s face it: Aside from CEdMA (which we recapped on a previous episode) here aren't many conferences devoted to customer education. While big conferences like DevLearn and ATD TechKnowledge are helpful for instructional designers and technologists, they aren't often customer education oriented. I’d highly recommend them to anyone looking to learn more about instructional design, content development, and learning technology. But as a customer education professional, you often must make the leap away from the context of traditional L&D, asking yourself, “How does this apply to customer education?” So similar to how Gainsight Pulse is focused on the discipline of Customer Success, Skilljar Connect was a forum for Skilljar customers to discuss the discipline of Customer Education and share our programs.

So similar to how Gainsight Pulse is focused on the discipline of Customer Success, Skilljar Connect was a forum for Skilljar customers to discuss the discipline of Customer Education and share our programs. There were a lot of great peer companies at the conference -- tech companies like Zendesk, MapR, Zuora, Avalara, Looker, Alfresco, Coveo, Zenefits, Autodesk, Procore -- and of course Checkr! Overall the representation included a lot of innovative brands -- and some forward-thinking enterprises. These are usually the companies who are trying to think about things differently. They’re not pivoting from having Education Services teams. Many started in the cloud. This made Skilljar Connect a different forum than those geared more towards Education Services teams. Because of the companies represented, Adam noticed some different trends than at other conferences. Most companies here didn’t have certification programs, and the ones that did were more likely to use them as marketing or industry plays. Most companies weren’t charging for training, which is much more common for younger or smaller companies who never built up education P&Ls. A word from the VCs To open up the conference, Rajeev Batra and Doug Pepper, two of Skilljar’s investors, gave the VC’s perspective on customer education. Doug was an investor in Marketo and compared Customer Education to where marketing automation was years ago. Marketing teams didn't have a seat at the table. They didn't have data to make their arguments. They hadn't gone digital. Because of digital marketing companies and practices, smart companies were able to think differently about their marketing functions. Today, Customer Education has an opportunity to do the same.Doug and Rajeev also talked about “replacement markets.” In their view, the old category of "Learning Management System," has fragmented into many new categories. Most relevant to us, one new category is the Customer Learning Platform.Doug mentioned that he likes to invest along the customer journey. He started by investing in sales enablement and marketing automation platforms, then tools for Customer Success reporting. But he notices a gap between the to

There's a massive change in the way people are developing skills. David Leaser, Senior Executive of Strategic Growth Initiatives for IBM’s Training and Skills program, shared the story of IBM’s response to these shifts on episode 11 of the Learning and Development Stories Podcast. Stories David highlighted the development process of IBM’s Digital Badge Program. He explained that over the last few years it was evident that with the dramatic changes in the tech industry there was a need to rethink the way credentials were developed. A Digital Badge is a cross-industry digital recognition of technical skills that can be shared on your social and professional networking sites, as well as your digital signature. IBM is supporting this new program, based on open standards, through the creation of a wide variety of badges covering a multitude of technical and professional areas. IBM credentials are valued and recognized by the global IT industry. David explained that the Digital Badge Program was a way to keep everyone on the same page. “Jobs are much more hybrid than they were,” he said. “More marketing people need to know how to use social media analytics. Sales people need to know how to use CRM and other types of data tools. We also have this rise of the gig economy where at a company like IBM, we hire lots of contract workers. So how do you keep everybody on the same page? How do you provide a way to signal achievements and a way to take inventory of those skills and match people to the jobs that they need to do? So we started looking at digital badges.” They launched a successful pilot program that then led to the expansion of the digital badge program across the IBM company. Tying learning to business objectives David talked about how the Digital Badge Program serves as both an internal and an external source of learning. “We have a big ecosystem that has hundreds of thousands of employees. We have one hundred thousand or more business partners, we obviously have clients, and we have vendors and contract workers. We have to keep everybody on the same page. So, we made a decision to create joint governance for a lot of our programs. And one of them is the digital credential program.” A couple years ago IBM Chair, President, and CEO, Ginni Rometty put a stake in the ground and shifted the thought process around qualifications to work at a company like IBM. “It used to be in the old days, you had to go to the right school, you had to live in the right location, and you had to have the right skills,” David said. “But our Chairman changed that. You don't have to go to a certain type of school, and you don't have to live in a certain type of location. What we are concerned about is skills. Currently more than 1 million badges in all 195 countries have been issued. More than 500,000 people have earned digital badges already and it is roughly a 50/50 split between internal and external. “We've created a registry of skills that is incredibly valuable to IBM and our clients,” said David. “Because now our clients, if they're looking for somebody with IBM skills, they can find them.” Lessons from mistakes David explained that one of the initial mistakes he made was underestimating the amount of resistance there would be to doing something like creating the Digital Badge Program. “Our company is very innovative. We're always on the leading edge. But when you get down to the human level people are interested in how this going to impact them personally. And so, I think that early on, I probably didn't do a good enough job describing how this would personally benefit them. And I think that if you don't have a ‘what's in it for me message’ for everybody you talk to, it's going to shortchange you.” The link between training and employee engagement David shared how the program led to increased employee engagement. “We found that after we introduced the Badge Program, we not only got the increase in participation, but we also found that within one year, the average person had come back for their multiple badges.” David explained that survey results showed that 87% of combined employees and external clients wanted a deeper relationship with IBM because of the badge program. This is was an incredible engagement success story. Communications tactics David explained that in order for the Digital Badge Program to work, it had to be essential to the company or else could get cut. David put together both an internal and external marketing plan to start getting in front of different groups and communicate the message of the program. He has seen that one of the most powerful strategies for communication is blogging. He believes in using the simple “infomercial blogging strategy” which starts with identifying the problem, showing an example of how it works, and then how you can get started. “When I began this project, I was very focused on the marketing possibilities,” said Leaser. “The impact has been tremendous. The social media impressions from people sharing their badges have been enormous. We've increased your product trial downloads by 64% and have been able to demonstrate in different ways how the Digital Badge Program is increasing IBM’s brand visibility.” Leaser points out that he works in direct contact with IBM’s corporate marketing communications team in a number of different ways, including the dissemination of the Digital Badge Program story. “IBM has some very big stories to tell,” he explained. “Sometimes our stories don't rise to that level. But we tell them our stories, and they often find a place to insert it into a bigger story.” Resources Tool every L&D professional should leverage: David recommends signing up for Google Alerts as a way to stay up to date with the industry. “I'd say the number one thing I do to stay up on the industry is reading the Google alerts that come in every day,” he said. He also shared that he also believes strongly in going to industry conferences including like ATD and DevLearn. Learn more about the IBM Digital Badge Program and connect with David on LinkedIn.
DIY Narrator: For Instructional Designers Who Narrate eLearning
When I was at DevLearn back in October and introduced myself as "voice talent" often their response included some variation of the following question: "My friend/My spouse/I've always wanted to explore voiceover. Do you have any advice?" Lucky for me, I love to talk shop. For a long time, I've avoided this question on the podcast, but I wanted to cover it and get it out of the way!

The introvert in me needed a break from the amazing networking and learning event that is DevLearn... and what an amazing event it is. The Keynote from Julie Snyder (Executive Producer of the Serial Podcast) was killer (no pun made in poor taste intended), the sessions have been awesome and informative, the Expo is amazing, and everyone is the nicest person I've ever met. Plus, in Episode 15, I promised you a podcast! This week is all about doing the best with what you have and improving the sound of your recording. In a matter of minutes, I went from a very echoey room on a glass desk with a bunch of background noise to a very serviceable sound using just some stuff from the hotel room. Could it be better? Sure. But that's not the point. The point is simply that there is no excuse to use what you have around you to improve the sound of your eLearning Narration.

Instructional Designers In Offices Drinking Coffee In this episode, Brent and Chris chat with the one and only Megan Torrance from TorranceLearning. With the xAPI Fall Cohort just getting kicked off, the three go over the ABC's of xAPI and get you a full scoop of what the xAPI Cohort is all about. (Don't need to read anymore on xAPI Fall Cohort and want to get started ASAP? Well, here's the link! https://www.torrancelearning.com/xapi-cohort/ ) The xAPI Learning Cohort is a free, vendor-neutral, 12-week learning-by-doing project-based team learning experience about the Experience API. (Yep, you read that right – free!) It’s an opportunity for those who are brand new to xAPI and those who are looking to experiment with it to learn from each other and from the work itself. Participants form teams based on shared interests and work together on an xAPI project. Each cohort features some predefined projects so you can jump right into something that sounds interesting and of course you can come with your own project idea and gather a team around you to get moving (or bring your team!). Past projects have included an onboarding checklist that leverages the Internet of Things (IoT), a game that tracks user clicks as a way to identify UX gaps, and exploration of LMS-LRS interoperability. xAPI Learning Cohorts run twice a year in spring and fall “semesters” with weekly all-group web meetings on Thursdays 2pm US Eastern Time chock-full of introductory information, practical how-tos, and high-level discussions of the implications for our industry. Teams work on real-life projects that interest them and set their own meeting and working schedules. Oh, and it’s ok to just hang out on the sidelines and observe the action if taking on a team project is too much right now. It’s also ok to participate on more than one project team during a Cohort session. Megan Torrance is CEO and founder of TorranceLearning, which helps organizations connect learning strategy to design, development, data and ultimately performance. Megan has over 25 years of experience in learning design, deployment and consulting. Megan and the TorranceLearning team are passionate about sharing what works in learning so they devote considerable time to teaching and sharing about Agile project management for learning experience design and, of course, the xAPI. TorranceLearning hosts the xAPI Learning Cohort, a free, virtual 12-week learning-by-doing opportunity where teams form on the fly and create proof-of-concept xAPI projects. Megan is the author of The Quick Guide to LLAMA, and two ATD TD at Work publications: Agile and LLAMA® for ISD Project Management and Making Sense of xAPI. She is a frequent speaker at conferences nationwide. TorranceLearning projects have won several Brandon Hall Group awards, the 2014 xAPI Hyperdrive contest at DevLearn, and back-to-back eLearning Guild DemoFest Best-In-Show awards in 2016/2017 with xAPI projects.

What's in this Episode We discuss: What adaptive learning is Why and how you can use adaptive learning Basics of designing an adaptive experience using Storyline (or for me, Lectora) The difference between adaptive and responsive (and how to stop referring to "responsive" out of context) Perils of country living in a digital world Who is Simon? Simon is an evil genius and all-around great guy. He's also funny as heck, and if you don't follow him on Twitter you NEED to! Go do it now! As an eLearning specialist, he has developed eLearning and associated apps, spearheaded quality and efficiency initiatives, and is a go-to source for all things LMS and eLearning technology, supporting colleagues around the globe. At various points, he has also been a software developer, a teaching assistant on back-country camping courses, a technical trainer, and a facilitator of virtual and in-person training across North America. He also facilitated a hands-on session on building an adaptive course in Storyline at DevLearn 2017 (the eLearning Guild's premier industry conference). In the next few weeks he'll be appearing on the TLDCast as well, so keep an eye out for that. Links from this Episode Simon on Twitter Simon on LinkedIn The Files for this project (Thank you so much for freely sharing your project with us Simon - available in Storyline and Storyline 360 formats) the Canadian eLearning Conference My big take-away from today was not to be afraid to try something new and outside the box - sometimes, the only way we can get to a conference is to have a speaking submission accepted. Conferences are an expensive investment, but always worth it. If conferences aren't in your budget, maybe you should do what Simon did - lose the fear, create a great proposal for an amazing talk (we all have something we can share) and share your knowledge, skill and expertise. Connecting this idea of adaptive learning to another concept, like that of confidence based assessments can elevate the experience for your learners, add more of a true "learner at the centre" focus, and also provide you with some statistics to help you design and build future learning experiences. So much to think about - I'd love to hear how you are using adaptive learning approaches to solve your business problems. I'd also love it if you would kindly subscribe on iTunes and if you liked this episode, please give it a rating and review, and share it with your friends and colleagues.

Every digital interaction creates a breadcrumb trail of data, but how far has learning and development mined this data for value? On this week's GoodPractice Podcast, learning analytics specialist Trish Uhl joins Ross G and Owen to share how modern organisations can use data to drive performance. We ask how complicated this needs to be, and reflect on whether many L&D practitioners are already using data without realising it. If you'd like to share your thoughts on the show, you can tweet us @RossGarnerGP, @OwenFerguson and @TrishUhl. You can also find us @GoodPractice or @GoodpracticeAus.

An interview with Warren Mara from Sysdoc begins with a discussion about trends from this year's DevLearn conference and moves into a discussion about game design for learning.
In this episode Lisa Minogue-White talks to David Kelly (@L&DDave), Programme Director of the e-Learning Guild, about the upcoming conference Devlearn and what he's looking forward to at the conference. We also feature a blog report from Kim George, who talks about what caught her eye in the blog from the ATD 'Six Tips for Using the Brain to Create Real Behaviour Change'
Craig chats with Bianca Woods about what they took away from Devlearn 12, but more importantly what they've been able to implement back in their organisations in the 6 weeks since Devlearn concluded. Bianca also shares her tips on how to maximise your engagement with your 'non conference attending' colleagues prior to, during and after any conference attendance.
