Want a smarter way to stay current without spinning your wheels? In this episode, Jackie walks through a practical playbook that helps instructional designers and learning leaders filter hype, design for real performance, and ship small wins that scale. It's a clear path from “interesting idea” to measurable impact, built around five practice trends, a lean trend filter, and a two-week micropilot you can start right away.We begin by shifting to skills-first, evidence-driven design: define a lightweight skills dictionary for a key role, tag existing content to three to five skills, and track time to proficiency, error rates, and on-the-job application notes. Then we move learning into the flow of work with in-tool nudges, searchable help, and quick walkthroughs, instrumenting help moments to see time-to-solve improvements and ticket deflection. Accessibility and Universal Design for Learning step out of the “bolt-on” category and into the definition of done, with captions, alt text, headings, contrast, multiple representations, and testing with assistive tech and mobile-only users.We close with burnout guardrails to protect your energy: no weekend pilots, a “done for now” checklist to end endless tweaks, and one evidence hour each sprint dedicated to review. If you're ready to turn ideas into impact, pick one practice trend, identify one measurable problem, and start your micropilot. Subscribe, share with a colleague, and leave a review to help more designers find this playbook—and tell us what you'll test first.

Welcome to "Ask the Tech Coach," a podcast for Instructional Coaches and Technology Integration Specialists. In this episode of “Ask the Tech Coach,” Jeff sits down with educator, author, and ISTE Certified Educator Rachelle Dené Poth to discuss the importance of creating standards-based instructional materials when supporting teachers and administrators. If you would like to be a part of future podcasts and share your thoughts, please contact the podcast.  We would love to have you join the show. Question of the Week Our favorite part of recording a live podcast each week is participating in the great conversations that happen on our live chat, on social media, and in our comments section. This week's question is: How can Coaches create an instructional practice based on the ISTE Standards for Educators? Weekly Topic The ISTE Certified Educator Program Digital Learning Standards & Frameworks ISTE Standards ISTE Standards for Educators Personal Standards 2.1 Learner 2.2 Leader 2.2 Citizen Pedagogy Standards 2.4 Collaborator 2.5 Designer 2.6 Facilitator Reflection Standard 2.7 Analyst ISTE Standards for Students ISTE Standards for Building Leaders ISTE Standards for Coaches 4.1 Change Agent 4.2 Connected Learner 4.3 Collaborator 4.4 Learning Designer 4.5 Professional Learning Facilitator 4.6 Data-Driven Decision-Maker 4.7 Digital Citizen Advocate School Leader Digital Learning Guide Future Ready How do we support these standards in our buildings and classrooms? Ask staff members what they would like to see changed or update Figure out then how to focus on something new that is based on a standard to help them see what the benefits are and how they can focus on one of the standards.

In this new episode, I am delighted to share my imperfectly perfect conversation with Dr Jayne-Louise Collins who is a Learning Designer; Researcher; Facilitator of Adult Learning. We discussed the notion of partnering to learn and lead and regenerative change. We explored other questions such as : - how do we prepare for change in a complex system? - how do we decide to partner with an organisation or not? - the importance of attending to what is happening right now - what are the possibilities for a learning culture? Jayne-Louise also shared: - her web-like illustrations and connections drawn from her PhD work - how leadership and bio-leadership start will listening - how holding the space for silence is. - how noticing and SLOWING RIGHT DOWN become our ritual Because "when we let the play between the inner and the outer become one, we can learn deeply about ourselves, in relationship and in interaction with others."

With Jennifer Delisle. An online search pulls up several news stories about women and girls who used the Signal for Help in dangerous situations. The Canadian Women's Foundation launched the Signal in 2020 in the wake of rising abuse such as intimate partner violence and sexual assault as well as the rising use of video calls. The Signal for Help has gone viral more than once since then. But a signal is only as useful as its response. Can you respond to any sign or signal of abuse? Our research found that people in Canada believe that everyone needs to play a role in ending gender-based violence, but fewer feel confident and competent to respond. Many say ,“intimate partner abuse is none of my business if it doesn't directly involve me.” That's why we launched the Signal for Help Responder digital learning journey and online mini course. We know people care and believe in ending gendered violence. But it takes a lot to turn care and belief into action that'll make a difference to survivors. And it takes a lot to change our mainstream culture of stigma and silencing to a culture of survivor support. What does it take to change individual behaviour? There are many theories, but they're all clear on one thing: you can't take a person out of their context. No one changes in a vacuum. Changes come from a mix of internal and external pushes and pulls. Our guest is Jennifer Delisle, Learning Designer for the LX Labs team at Onlea. She has been a learning designer for over ten years, designing and writing courses for post-secondary education, industry, government, and non-profits. She helped develop the recently launched Signal for Help Responder Mini Course. She has a background in academic instruction and research and a PhD in English. Also a published creative writer, she has a passion for bringing storytelling and clear, engaging language to every learning experience. She is a settler in Edmonton/Amiskwaciwâskahikan in Treaty 6.

In this episode, we cover: Intersectional experience as a cancer survivor across sex, sexuality, and dating. Nuances of cancer stigma in South Asia and how to navigate it.  The need for creating resources specific to the South Asian Young Adult community. About the guest: Sanjay is a Learning Designer who currently leads L&D at Pride Circle. He has previously worked as a part of the Founding Team of Harappa Education and the skilling team of NASSCOM Foundation. He is passionate about mental health, queer rights and cancer advocacy. He got diagnosed with incurable brain cancer at the age of 29 the day he landed on Harvard University's campus to start his Master's program in September 2021. He's currently leading an effort to write & publish a first-of-its-kind book on Adulting with Cancer called ‘Don't Ask Me How I'm Doing: Life, Death and Everything in Between' -- to chronicle the experiences, raise awareness and create a resource for Indian and South Asian young adult cancer patients, survivors and caregivers. He is an incoming graduate student at Harvard University, a postgraduate of the Young India Fellowship program at Ashoka University, and a Valedictorian and Student of the Year from St. Xavier's College, Mumbai. Key Moments:  2 mins and 3 seconds So my understanding of privilege was very different. Because even if I identified myself as a queer person, it came with many safety nets around me. That went away when I got diagnosed with cancer. Now not only was I disadvantaged because of my sexuality, but I was at a disadvantage because of my cancer experience. 6 mins and 23 seconds So there is this generation of queer people who have just realized that they can be themselves. They are in that phase where they're trying to explore things. They're trying to be openly themselves. There's that frog in the pond syndrome. There are so many fish in the sea, why do you want to settle for one, so everyone's trying to experiment and like, you know, like, find their own feet. 25 mins and 32 seconds The worst thing is when you reveal in a public sort of space, and that public, I don't even mean like a huge stage or like in like a large audience, even when it's just five people together, and you just say that. No, I'm sorry, I can't do this because I'm a cancer survivor.

In this podcast we cover - How to live a life with an incurable cancer Using creativity in moments of darkness Creating a cancer support community for South Asians About Sanjay Deshpande: Sanjay is a Learning Designer who currently leads L&D at Pride Circle. He has previously worked as a part of the Founding Team of Harappa Education and the skilling team of NASSCOM Foundation. He is passionate about mental health, queer rights and cancer advocacy. He got diagnosed with incurable brain cancer at the age of 29 the day he landed on Harvard University's campus to start his Master's program in September 2021. He's currently leading an effort to write & publish a first-of-its-kind book on Adulting with Cancer called ‘Don't Ask Me How I'm Doing: Life, Death and Everything in Between' -- to chronicle the experiences, raise awareness and create a resource for Indian and South Asian young adult cancer patients, survivors and caregivers. He is an incoming graduate student at Harvard University, a postgraduate of the Young India Fellowship program at Ashoka University, and a Valedictorian and Student of the Year from St. Xavier's College, Mumbai. Key Moments:  4 mins and 1 second: In response to the question “how are you?” When you ask that to a cancer patient or survivor, the expectation is that you're likely wanting to hear the truth. But in my experience, most people aren't ready to hear the truth. They don't want to know that you're struggling, they don't want to know that you're having a mental breakdown. They don't want to know that you are in pain. 18 mins and 23 seconds: Living life with cancer Earlier before cancer, the way I used to usually socialize with my friends was over drinks or over a smoke or going out dancing or to a party. Almost all of them I'm not allowed to do. I can't drink because they tried to trigger my seizures. I can't smoke because, hello cancer. I can't go dancing because my skull hasn't healed from my surgery. I can't stay up late at night because it triggers my cancer and triggers my seizures. So how do you then re-enter this world that you were once a part of, and still live a life right? 30 mins and 3 seconds: About that moment post-treatment. It's kind of like you've you're like running really fast to get to this destination and then you realize the destination is actually a cliff and you're jumping off and you're like ‘oh god I am falling.'

The queen of creation, Steph Woods, assisted people in understanding the distinction between a course and a curriculum in this incredibly hectic internet environment. She contributes by using her storytelling technique, which gives it life. She is a best-selling author and speaker who focuses on memorable educational encounters. Steph, a self-described nerd, knows how people learn best and uses that knowledge to her advantage. She enjoys educating company owners on how to create digital courses that maximize time (and earnings) so they may work less, make more money, and live lives apart from their companies.   “So every single group of students, every single target audience, has different strengths, and they have different weaknesses, and really getting to know that before you even start creating your course to start digging into your curriculum sets the foundation for them to be successful in the long run.”    Keynotes Give yourself permission.  You don't have to be perfect to take the first step. It doesn't matter what you're launching next. It's a domino effect that will change people's lives.

About Ant PughAnt is a self-employed learning design consultant and instructional designer, with a career in learning and development spanning twenty years, with experience working in several continents, and global clients including ANZ, Westpac, Link Group, Microsoft and Carnival. He is renowned for using a performance-based approach to design training, passionate about implementing human-centred solutions to change behaviour, improve performance and deliver measurable business results.Key takeaways:The vast majority of learning is ineffective. Ant unpacks how a great learning designer questions everything and trusts their instincts. It's very easy to just copy what others are doing, but if you ‘break out' of the L&D world and review how else you learn in your day-to-day life, it's easier to think outside of the box.Writing is a great way of teaching (and learning). From writing a daily email to his mailing list, Ant has become a better writer and has learnt a lot more about learning design. Find your medium where you can capture – or report – daily on what you have learnt or thought about to a community, no matter how small.Some of the biggest blockers for writing are not knowing who you are writing to and your mindset around writing. Ant has reframed what writing is to him – it's about documenting, not creating content. This has been a powerful way to beat overwhelm for Ant, which enables him to write so frequently in a flow state. Focus on being a reporter rather than a leader or teacher, and simply share with others what has worked for you so far.Segmented time stamps:[02:26] How to become a better learning designer[04:34] Ant's strategy to seeing things differently[07:10] How to move forward in new ways of thinking[13:57] Why learning designers should write more[17:41] Making the time to write daily and Ant's writing process[21:20] Some of the biggest blockers for writing – and how to overcome themLinks from the podcast:Subscribe to Ant's daily newsletterConnect with Ant on LinkedInFind more about Ant PughCheck out GaryVee's YouTube channel,  Watch GaryVee's ‘Document, Don't Create' video on youtubeWatch recording of Sprout Labs webinar ‘Creative thinking for learning designers'

So much of education today is focused on theoretical knowledge. In a school environment, learners are so far removed from the reality of what they're actually learning. It's been proven time and time again that learning by doing is one of the most effective and impactful ways to learn, however, this is rarely incorporated in schools. We'll be joined by two experts, Caleb Hicks and Tara Baumgarten, to discuss how we can make learning more meaningful for students.    Tara Baumgarten is focused on the future of work and how millennials learn. She's passionate about open education, the future of edtech, and how we can create a more equitable workforce. Tara also holds a Master's in Educational Leadership & Technology and has worked as an Instructional Designer, Learning Designer, and Product Manager for a number of years. Caleb Hicks is passionate about building the onramp to life after school for driven teenagers. He's spent the last ten years in career and technical education, helping teenagers prepare for the world of work, and preparing career switchers for new jobs in tech. He's worked for Apple, co-founded Lamda School, and has recently founded his own initiative, Factor. In this episode, Tara and Caleb discuss the science behind the concept of ‘learning by doing' and why this is crucial for impactful education. Let's keep the inspiring discussion going!

For this episode I'm joined by Bejay Mulenga, Founder of Supa Network.I first met Bejay at the 2014 Conservative Party conference. He was about to speak in front of 3,000 people just before George Osbourne took the stage- no mean feat at 19 years old.He told his story about his first foray into entrepreneurship- setting up a tuck shop for his school, making £15,000 in his first term and how he transformed this business into a franchise of tuck shops. By 16 years of age, he was operating a £200,000 business with plans to train 5,000 young entrepreneurs.He received a full standing ovation.Fast-forward to today and Bejay's Supa Network has supported over 10,000 young people at 81 locations across the country, doing everything from improving their digital literacy to working with Apple in developing their stores into learning centres. Talking about the changing the landscape of the education sector in response to the pandemic, Bejay cites the amazing work of Jack Butcher as a prime example of the creator economy.We also discuss the fascinating emerging career of a Learning Designer- the educational equivalent of a UX designer for a dev team- and how a focus on learning design can affect a business or product.Ever since that first speech in 2014, Bejay has always been someone to offer me adifferent perspective and it's always refreshing to speak to him.Jimmy's Jobs of the Future is hiring, read more on our next chapter here and you can sign up to our newsletter here.A reminder you can follow us onInstagram: @JimmysjobsTwitter: @JimmysjobsAnd most importantly on LinkedInIf you'd like to see more information about the job roles being offered please look at my Twitter @jimmym

Jeff has a conversation with improv heavyweight Mark Sutton. Mark is a Chicago-based performer, instructor and director. He's maybe most notable for his co-founding of the Annoyance Theatre. In addition to this, Mark is the Learning Designer and Lead Facilitator of Second City Chicago and had spent several years as the Artistic Director for the Chicago Improv Festival.  On the discussion table are the origins of the Annoyance Theatre (including its namesake), Bassprov (his partnership with Joe Bill), and a rundown the Chicago scene and how it shaped Mark as a performer.
