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. You can download the report here: https://virtualresearchinsights.com/report2022/ And check out their infographic for the report here: https://virtualresearchinsights.com/2022/09/26/infographic-for-improving-virtual-and-hybrid-learning/

So much changed in the spring of 2020. In our L&D world there was a massive shift to online learning to deal with the elimination of in-person events.Two-and-a-half years later online virtual and hybrid sessions are still a highly popular way of delivering training. Our industry has had time to settle in with tools like Teams and Zoom – but how many of us have actually been able to shift to using them in the most effective ways possible?In this week's session we'll talk with Jo Cook to discuss her research with Jane Daly, Behavioral Scientist specializing in evidence-based culture and capability transformation.Jo and Jane are this week releasing the results of their research report on the use of virtual and hybrid learning for organizational training.Jo was with us last December to discuss early insights of this research a year ago, so we're excited to have her back to learn more now that the report is out in full and see what has and hasn't changed in the past 12 months!Become virtual friends with the IDIODC gang on Twitter.

In the five and a half months since COVID-19 hit learning teams around the world have grappled with converting courses designed for classroom facilitation to live online facilitation.  Early in the pandemic the Australian Institute of Training Development (AITD) decided to six courses.  Jennifer Waltmon, the AITD’s Programs and Content Manager, joins this episode alongside two of the conversion team members, Dr Cathryn Lloyd and Chemene Sinson.  They reflect on the experience of converting so many courses simultaneously, the parallels and differences between designing courses for face to face versus online delivery, and what they’ve learned about facilitating effective online learning experiences.

When you consider productivity, "reflection" isn't the first thing that comes to mind. Maybe it's because we don't value reflection as something that's a part of our workday; it's more of a new age-y concept, like mindfulness and meditation. Well like mindfulness and meditation, reflection definitely has its place in increasing personal productivity. And in this episode, Jo Cook of Lightbulb Moment explains why. Setting goals, leveraging accountability, and doing check-ins are all elements of productivity and Jo offers some real-life examples of how she stays productive using reflection.

In the past, teachers were responsible for “reading the room” and “getting a feel” for how learners were responding. But todays technologies help us discover more about them through their digital body language. Digital Body Language is more than just how you look on your webcam. That’s analog body language as seen through the webcam lens…and it’s important. But did you know that everything you do online tells us…them…someone… a little more about you and what your needs are, or might be? This has been the realm of digital marketing for decades, but it’s important to instructional designers as well. The learning experiences we create are part of a larger learning experience for the user. They may attend a virtual classroom session, take a self-paced eLearning course, and consume short videos to refresh the learning. And they’ll also be joining communities and chatting with peers about the same content. All of those contribute to learning and using analytics we can use data to discover what they need. Jo Cook is a speaker, instructional designer and classroom facilitator who specializes in virtual classrooms, webinars and live online learning technology. Jo’s passion is in helping and supporting teams, professionals and organizations embrace the benefits of the virtual classroom. Through her company Lightbulb Moment, Jo has specialized in training learning professionals about virtual classroom design and delivery since 2013 and has spoken on various topics at conferences such as Learning Technologies, Online Educa Berlin and keynoted for Colleges Wales and E-learning Fusion.
