Last week on The Mind Tools L&D Podcast, Ross G and Owen explored how the 70:20:10 model is being applied by three L&D Practitioners: Ceri Sharples, Cath Addis, and Carl Akintola-Davis. Today, we wanted to follow up on some of the challenges posed during that discussion with The 70:20:10 Institute's Charles Jennings. What does it really mean to 'integrate learning into the workflow', and how does 70:20:10 move us towards a performance focus? We discuss: ·       Where the numbers ‘70', ‘20' and ‘10' come from ·       How a focus on ‘learning' tends to lead to a ‘10+' approach ·       Examples of interventions that have focused on supporting performance, rather than formal learning. For more on the origins of 70:20:10, see this blog post from Charles. See also The Center for Creative Leadership's chapter ‘Learning Through Experience'. Mind Tools offers a summary of Informal Learning, by Jay Cross. Joseph Stiglitz book is Creating a Learning Culture. Find out more about Dr Edwards Deming.

The 5 Moments of Need exist in every department of every enterprise, and requires a strong and efficient learning ecosystem. Both formal and informal learning solutions support each of the moments in different ways. When you need to learn NEW stuff or MORE stuff, those are the first 2 moments of need and probably the most obvious. But there is also APPLY, CHANGE, and SOLVE. These are moments that require learning solutions supported by solid design and development processes, and systems as well.  Bob Mosher is the founding member at 5 Moments of Need and joins us to share his experiences putting these philosophies into practice. We'll talk about the basics, but then we'll jump into why and how we need to adjust our practices. Bob has plenty of case studies and stories to tell about important business impact applying The 5 Moments of Need can have. And you don't need to be an instructional designer to benefit from this conversation.

"Do you know 'Brave' by Sara Bareilles?" I asked 10-year-old Anthony in a piano lesson one week. "Yeah," he said. "Well, I read recently that 'Brave' and [Katy Perry's] 'Roar' have a lot of things in common. What do you think?" "Huh. I've never really thought about it!" he said. We listened to both songs a few times and made a list of musical characteristics on the white board. I let Anthony take the lead on what we were listening for—accompaniment style, key, tempo, vocal register, and contour—stepping in to guide the conversation, as needed. Anthony sat at a keyboard in the room, picking out parts of the melody or accompaniment as he listened. "What about the bass line?" I asked. Anthony played along with the recording for 'Roar,' a piece he was learning on his own, and together, we picked out the first part of 'Brave' while listening. We stepped back to look at the board. "Wow, they're basically the same song!" Anthony said.Now, I have a question for all of you listening: is this an example of formal or informal learning? Or, is it both? The context was formal (we were in a school classroom having a private piano lesson) but the genre and learning style were informal (popular music and learning by ear). The learning was intentional (there was an end goal) but the ownership of the experience was something that we shared (we both contributed ideas—I didn't go into the lesson with my mind already made up). That brings us to an interesting question to ask in our teaching: What makes learning formal or informal? And can it be both? How can we balance formal and informal learning in music education?That's what we're going to talk about today.For show notes, click here.Resources MentionedEp. 042 - What Does It Mean to Be a Teacher-Facilitator?

In this episode, Michael Rowe talks about space as a metaphor for learning and asks if it's still a useful way for us to think about learning and teaching design. Spatial metaphors encourage a certain vocabulary that informs our cognitive frameworks, which possibly limits creative approaches to learning and teaching. Michael asks if other metaphors for learning might get us closer to designing learning experiences that are more aligned with what we care about.

This week on the Leadership Podcast, Patrick Cootes joined Bradley to discuss how informal learning can transform your team.  Patrick is a learning expert with nearly 20 years of experience in the public sector. He's a Co-Founder & Head of Product at Mindstone Learning, a company empowering people and companies globally to learn faster and remember more. They discussed how to create a “doing” culture, rather than a culture that stops at learning.  He has found that, while it has become standard to assume that a person can only learn one way (auditory, visual, kinesthetic), people are actually multisensory and multidimensional in their learning. Patrick also shared his number one strategy for helping new hires get up to speed 2x faster than normal.  Trainers should give new hires a high stakes but low risk opportunity to get them to take action.

This is the second part of our conversation with Tim Jones on learning and development in football Academies.  It is well-established that sport participation involves many other forms of learning beyond sports skills. But are these learning experiences exclusively 'positive'? Are they mainly 'caught' or 'taught'? Should coaches intentionally introduce 'trouble' in athletes' pathways to foster learning and application of social and emotional competencies? Tim Jones is a researcher, coach and creator of the 'Developer Tribe' who has spent extensive time thinking through these questions in his work. He is currently a PhD researcher at the University of Stirling and the head coach for the University of Stirling Women's Football Club.

Danni and Ido are both based in the Minerva Center for the Rule of Law under Extreme Conditions at the University of Haifa in Israel.  Their podcast highlights the work of PhD students and early career researchers about the varying aspects of their research and academic journey. Click HERE for Accessible Transcript Ido and Danni share the inspiration behind the podcast and their desire to share widely not only the success, challenges and struggles that early career researchers face, but also their desire to convey these stories in a way that others can relate to.  Since the launch of their podcast, they have interviewed early career researchers from all over the world and discuss important research that encompasses everything from the study of bananas to baseball and transnational migration.  Most don't realize the work that goes into the production of a podcast from start to finish.  Both Danni and Ido make sure that their guests are in a comfortable space and place to talk about their journey and share their stories.  As the producer, Ido spends time with their guests ahead of the recording, listening to their stories, finding out exactly what they hope to get out of the conversation together, the message they want to convey, and taking detailed notes for Danni, the host.  Danni has a keen interest in mental health awareness in academia, so she always has a glass of amaretto and encourages their guests to bring along their beverage of choice to calm nerves, break the ice, and help make the interview space feel warm and inviting.  As if two friends are sharing a cuppa and a chat together.  Danni and Ido share funny experiences in past interviews and talk about how they handle sensitive issues that sometimes come up in conversations.  They discuss what they have learned as podcasters along the way, and learning that is constantly transforming.  Everything from developing new technical skills, mastering new social media platforms for promotion and networking, to improving listening and speaking skills, and unique perspectives gained from the research of their guests. Ido explains that podcasts are important for conveying a message, for putting new and innovative research in the spotlight, and making learning and knowledge widely accessible.  There is something for everyone and the topics are endless.  We agree that independent podcasters are so incredibly supportive of one another, and collaborations like this one expand your reach as a podcast and make for interesting discussions from varying perspectives.  There is a sense of community among podcasters and you can find a sense of belonging through social media platforms like Twitter and YouTube.   As we conclude our conversation, Danni and Ido have some tips, tricks and advice for anyone who might be interested in starting their own podcast.  Ido wisely advises that podcasting is a commitment, have a clear understanding of the message you want to convey before you start, and don't get discouraged.  ‘Remember, no one becomes a hit show overnight and don't get caught up in the numbers'.  Be patient with yourself and learn as you go.  A really fun and fascinating conversation from one podcaster to another.  Come, #ListenAndLearn Google podcast link: What are you Going to Do with THAT?

Founded in June 1981 and led by Ted Kahn, the Institute provided equipment, advice, and financial support to non-profit educational organizations. It granted more than $1 million in hardware and software to schools, science museums, vocational and special education programs, even a prison.   Ted Kahn, whom I have previously interviewed, recently dug through his files to uncover several documents about the Institute, including "Informal Learning and Computers," the working paper written by Sherman Rosenfeld for the Atari Institute for Education Action Research in September 1982. Ted also graciously scanned a 1981 Atari Institute brochure, a 1983 progress report, and "Atari in Action," the Institute's newsletter, dated fall 1982. This interview took place on May 25, 2020. Sherman talked to me from his office in Israel. A video version of the interview is also available.

Transforming Teachers, Transforming Education

One of the best ways to inspire and cement learning is understanding two related concepts.  Now despite that their names imply that they’re polar opposites, FORMAL LEARNING and INFORMAL LEARNING work together to create a depth of understanding and students’ ability to truly grasp the fundamentals of an idea or concept. When a student can take a concept that they’ve learned FORMALLY, say in the classroom… and they can supplement it and test it by using it in their everyday experience, then the learning becomes CEMENTED in place.  The understanding is deeper. This takes INTENTION, it takes FORETHOUGHT, and PLANNING.  First off, remember that INFORMAL LEARNING comes from things that students experience with their senses.  What they see, what they hear, what they touch, feel, and taste.  When you designate “free time” for your students… set up your environment so that they immediately have access to the items that support the concepts you’re teaching.  Now, with the advent of afterschool programs, we have a huge opportunity – and a duty – to make sure that INFORMAL LEARNING time is available. The fact is, as humans on the search for deeper understanding and knowledge, we absolutely need and must embrace both FORMAL LEARNING and INFORMAL LEARNING and we must encourage the interplay between the two.
