Welcome to a special edition of The Writing Glitch podcast, where we delve into the fascinating world of puppetry and its role in enhancing literacy skills. In this episode, we enjoyed hosting Carol Richards and Linnea Smith, the dynamic duo behind Richard's Learning Systems. This revolutionary literacy program incorporates puppets, animation, and multisensory learning to teach reading. Join us as we explore the magic behind their approach and how it's transforming how children learn to read.The Genesis of Richard's Learning SystemsCarol Richards, the founder of Richard's Learning Systems, shared her journey from starting a tutoring service to developing a comprehensive literacy program. With the challenge of making her science of reading program accessible and practical, Carol had a eureka moment that led to creating a unique video-based curriculum. These videos, devoid of adult presence, feature puppets and animation to engage children in learning sounds, blends, digraphs, and eventually syllables, culminating in the ability to read complex words like "antidisestablishmentarianism."The Puppets of LiteracyThe program boasts a cast of charming puppets, each with a specific role in teaching literacy concepts. Miss Alice teaches the short "a" sound, while Silly Ball, the syllable scientist, helps students break words into syllables. Chef Cookie teaches blends with her whisk and animated ingredients, and Sophie introduces non-phonetic "red words" through arm tapping.A Family AffairLinnea Smith, Carol's daughter, brings her creative expertise and personal experience as a struggling reader. She played a pivotal role in producing the video series and creating the puppets, transforming them from simple sock puppets to the engaging characters used today.ExpandRichard's Learning Systems is not just for young learners. The program has succeeded with older students, refugees, immigrants, and even adults in the workforce. Its simplicity and effectiveness make it a valuable tool for many learners, including non-verbal students who have shown remarkable progress.Incorporating Writing Skills:The program also addresses writing skills through tracing practice, spelling exercises, and gentle introductions to sentence structure. The focus is on making learning as multisensory as possible, with tactile letter cards and activities reinforcing the connection between reading and writing.Accessible and Affordable:Richard's Learning Systems is designed to be both accessible and affordable. With a subscription model, teachers and parents can access the materials and videos needed to implement the program effectively. The emphasis is on short, daily sessions that fit easily into any schedule.Conclusion:Richard's Learning Systems is a testament to the power of creativity and innovation in education. By harnessing the appeal of puppets and the principles of multisensory learning, Carol Richards and Linnea Smith have created a literacy program that teaches children how to read and instills a love for reading. As we explore the potential of puppetry in education, Richard's Learning Systems stands as a shining example of how thinking outside the box can lead to remarkable outcomes in literacy development.Visit Richard's Learning Systems for more information and to explore the magical world of literacy puppets.Contact Carol and LinneaContact CheriUpcoming Event: May 11, 2024Being RecordedTier 1,2,3 Non-Academic Interventions to enhance structured literacy and writing skills ★ Support this podcast ★

We've all heard of Sales Enablement roles. But why is it that only sales teams get special attention enabling them to do their jobs better? Shouldn't we be enabling the entire organization?One might argue that traditional onboarding and training has that responsibility. But it's not quite the same. Enabling all departments to be successful and productive requires more than what traditional training departments provide. Supporting the moments of need within all departments requires knowledge management, informal learning, social learning, access management, and more.Mike Simmons joins us to talk about organization enablement and how L&D is uniquely positioned to blend the best of Knowledge Management, Performance Improvement, and Learning & Development into a cohesive solution that enables all employees to be their best and provide the most value to their organizations.Become virtual friends with the IDIODC gang on Twitter.

Have you asked yourself lately why you don't put a stronger focus on accessibility when creating eLearning content? Oh c'mon, you know you've made excuses why you "can't" do it. We all have at one time or another in our careers. I include myself in that. Here are just a few I'm sure you've used:"Yea, but nobody in our organization has a disability.""Yea, but nobody with a disability could do these particular jobs anyways.""Yea, but it costs more, and we don't have the time to spare.""Yea, but we're not a government agency so we don't really need to worry about it.""Yea, but we make a pdf transcript. That's all we need."Your "Yea, buts" are no longer valid. Diane Elkins joins us to debunk the common myths and excuses used to avoid creating fully accessible learning experiences. She's an experienced elearning development professional who's been at the helm of Artisan Learning for 20 years. She's heard it all. But more importantly she's discovered successful responses to the "Yea, buts" and created solutions that prove the "yea, but...-ers" (Trademark pending) WRONG.Stop being a "yea, but...-er"!Become virtual friends with the IDIODC gang on Twitter.

Just because you have the skills to shoot and edit a video doesn't mean it's instructionally sound. This is why some videos are easier to learn from than others. And why that learning sticks. Watching video is a passive experience and therefore you might think there isn't much more to it than just making it more entertaining. Yea, you'd be wrong.Dr. Patti Shank joins us to discuss some of the mental processing models you can use to your advantage when producing videos. She's taught us all how to become better multiple-choice question writers with a scientific approach, and now she's applying that same researched-based rigor to producing better training videos.

AI is the hottest topic in L&D since Learning2.0. It's even hotter than Virtual Reality. Why? Because it's something everyone can use and doesn't require additional hardware expenses.  And more importantly, when used creatively, AI apps can supercharge your individual productivity. But if you're a manager/director of an L&D or Training department, you need to build your knowledge of these tools as well. They are changing how your team will work and support stakeholders.Myra Roldan, AWS Sr. Technical Program Manager, joins us to talk about the many solutions and productivity hacks she's discovered while experimenting with AI apps. She'll talk about building AI generated content, but also how she's generated more complex solutions like knowledge bases. She's even used AI to generate her own app that generates instructional objectives. The future of AI is here now.If you follow Myra on social media you may have already seen these demos, but if you're like me, her videos sparked even more questions.

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. Every business leader can improve their operations by knowing more about these 5 distinct moments where a learning intervention is required.This episode could be the 45mins that launches your career within your organization.

Summary The focus of machine learning projects has long been the model that is built in the process. As AI powered applications grow in popularity and power, the model is just the beginning. In this episode Josh Tobin shares his experience from his time as a machine learning researcher up to his current work as a founder at Gantry, and the shift in focus from model development to machine learning systems. Announcements Hello and welcome to the Machine Learning Podcast, the podcast about machine learning and how to bring it from idea to delivery. Your host is Tobias Macey and today I'm interviewing Josh Tobin about the state of industry best practices for designing and building ML models Interview Introduction How did you get involved in machine learning? Can you start by describing what a "traditional" process for building a model looks like? What are the forces that shaped those "best practices"? What are some of the practices that are still necessary/useful and what is becoming outdated? What are the changes in the ecosystem (tooling, research, communal knowledge, etc.) that are forcing teams to reconsider how they think about modeling? What are the most critical practices/capabilities for teams who are building services powered by ML/AI? What systems do they need to support them in those efforts? Can you describe what you are building at Gantry and how it aids in the process of developing/deploying/maintaining models with "modern" workflows? What are the most challenging aspects of building a platform that supports ML teams in their workflows? What are the most interesting, innovative, or unexpected ways that you have seen teams approach model development/validation? What are the most interesting, unexpected, or challenging lessons that you have learned while working on Gantry? When is Gantry the wrong choice? What are some of the resources that you find most helpful to stay apprised of how modeling and ML practices are evolving?

Learning and Development leaders and their teams support many different stakeholders. But all of these stakeholders play an important role in the success of each enterprise. If our job is to help them improve their performance than we must learn to become better advisors to those lines of business.Jess Almlie joins us to talk about becoming a trusted business advisor. For Jess, this is key in doing our best work as L&D professionals. Working as a trusted business advisor allows us to get out of the order-taking business and into the business of working strategically, maximizing our use of time and resources, and creating solutions that impact the organization. If we have the trust of our business stakeholders, we can say yes strategically (saying "no" to items that won't be solved by learning and/or are just "nice to have"), be proactive in our approach, and really work collaboratively with our business stakeholders as opposed to just doing things for them.It's an important part of building your career as an L&D professional. And if you're already in a position of leadership, you'll benefit from this conversation as well. In fact, we need you to join us and share your experiences.

Data literacy is not something traditionally taught to training teams, but leveraging data for decision-making is critical in today's workplace. But just counting butts-in-seats doesn't cut it. It's necessary to interpret the business data you are expecting to impact with your training solutions. But that's often easier said than done. Especially if you're new to the world of training and development.Zsolt Oláh joins us to discuss the data analytics of training and development. We'll discuss what data is available, or should be available, as well as why data helps us make better business decisions. Zsolt recently conducted session at TechKnowledge where he asked attendees to participate in a simulated project where the team needs to evaluate the learning pilot based on the given data. Zsolt will explain the valuable insights gained using this simulated approach and how you can use it too.This session is for everyone on your learning team as its a group effort when you're growing as a success training organization. Learning leaders will benefit from new insights and team members will have a better understanding of what training interventions work, or not, and how to communicate that to others.Join us with your entire team for this fantastic session.Become virtual friends with the IDIODC gang on Twitter.

When you hear about Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives, how often do you associate them with accessibility? Probably not immediately, right? But when you see it, your brain says "of course"!  Accessibility conversations are often discussed as a separate initiative, when in reality, creating accessible learning content is exactly what DEI programs are all about. Perhaps we should add another letter, and begin calling these programs Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility?For enterprise wide initiatives, that's probably a little outside of a training department's sphere of influence. However, designing and developing learning content that is accessible is exactly part of our charter, and it's within our control. So, of course, we should be doing everything we can to make the best accessible learning content we can.Susi Miller returns as our guest to discuss more of her insights and experiences related to creating accessible learning content. We'll look at common pitfalls and mistakes organisations are still making with accessibility, and how focusing on accessibility can actually improve your learning designs for everyone.Our Summer of '21 episode with Susi turned out to be one of our most watched episodes that season. Now's your chance to join us with her again and level up your accessibility game as part of your 2023 strategy.Become virtual friends with the IDIODC gang on Twitter.

Are you tired of hearing the term "gamification"? Do you even hear it that much any more? Was it just a trend that has finally passed?These are all questions for the master of games for learning, Karl Kapp. He's a regular contributor to IDIODC and we want to know what happened... and what's next.Dr. Kapp is well a well-known professor at Bloomsburg University. Many of his students have become names you recognize online and at L&D events. He's written books and is a popular LinkedIn learning instructor as well. If anyone knows about gamification and what's next, it's him.We'll talk about a little history of gamification and why it seemed like a good idea at the time. But more importantly we'll cover the good that came from it, and what games for learning really should look like in the future.Become virtual friends with the IDIODC gang on Twitter.

Facilitation is about mastering how to deliver an engaging learning experience, all in the effort of improving workplace performance. Instructional designers work hard to do the same. But often times lack facilitation skills or the nuanced understanding of facilitating a learning experience. Let's connect these valuable skillsets and improve training experiences for everyone.In our current digital world it might be easy to believe the art of facilitation is a lost and unnecessary craft. But facilitation is alive and well. We, as humans, love interacting with each other. And as much as we'd like to think everything is automated, humans still learn best from other humans.Nikki O'Keeffe and Darryl Wyles, 2 of the 4 authors of Facilitation in Action, join us this week to discuss the art of facilitation. It is a broad topic, with wide ranging methods and models to explore. We'll likely hit on topics like empathy and inclusive facilitation, as well as understanding multiple modalities of training. And if you're interested in finding your own facilitation style we'll talk about that journey as well.And for you technical types, yes we'll talk about the technology involved and best methods of facilitation utilizing today's best technologies.

    At the Learning Technologies France show in Paris this February, John talked to two of the industry's leading commentators, who both released significant pieces of research at the show. The L&D Global Sentiment Survey, run by Donald H Taylor, takes the pulse of the L&D community world-wide. The one-minute online poll asks L&D professionals internationally what they think will be hot in the following year. The Fosway 9-Grid™ report for Learning Systems plots the relative position of solutions and providers, predominantly within the UK and European market. Different solutions can be compared based on their Performance, Potential, Market Presence, Total Cost of Ownership and Future Trajectories across the market. Between them, these two surveys give a picture of where Learntech systems are in the post-pandemic world, and what is firing the expectations and imaginations of the learning community. 00:00 Intro 02:15 Don Taylor: What's changed since last year? 05:23 Is it unusual for a 'macro' issue like skills to dominate the survey? 07:21 AI 13:22 Metaverse 18:45 VR 21:07 Leading trends in the US 24:15 Is this a return to the pre-pandemic world? 26:45 David Wilson: The new 9-Grid for learning 28:05 Any surprises in the changes compared to last year? 33:43 'Ecosystemness' 42:40 Learning Systems market development Follow Donald H.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: AI Safety in a World of Vulnerable Machine Learning Systems, published by AdamGleave on March 8, 2023 on The AI Alignment Forum. Even the most advanced contemporary machine learning systems are vulnerable to adversarial attack. The safety community has often assumed adversarial robustness to be a problem that will be solved naturally as machine learning (ML) systems grow more capable and general. However, recent work has shown that superhuman systems in a narrow domain such as AlphaZero are highly vulnerable to adversarial attack, as are general but less capable systems like large language models. This raises the possibility that adversarial (worst-case) robustness will continue to lag behind average-case capabilities. In other words, transformative AI systems are likely to be exploitable. Exploitability will cause a wide variety of current alignment proposals to fail. Most extant agendas seek to align the main ML system with the assistance of helper ML systems. The main ML system is the primary system that takes actions in the world (e.g. interacting with users), with the helper ML systems acting as scaffolding to train and/or verify the main ML system. These alignment schemes will fail if the helpers are exploited by the main system – and we expect helpers to be vulnerable to exploitation (see Contemporary ML systems are exploitable by default). In Table 1 we present a subjective risk matrix for a range of popular alignment agendas, evaluating the degree to which main ML systems have the ability and incentive to exploit the helper. We find many alignment agendas have a high risk of exploitation, with all having at least some risk.

We are most concerned by vulnerabilities in the helpers as this can impact the alignment of the main system. By contrast, an aligned but adversarially exploitable main system would not necessarily pose a danger, especially if the main system can recursively self-improve to fix itself. However, there is a possibility that even superintelligent systems cannot attain adversarial robustness. This would be a volatile situation, which could conceivably collapse into chaos (systems frequently exploiting each other), an implicit equilibrium (e.g. mutually assured destruction), or an explicit agreement (e.g. all AI systems self-modify to commit to not exploiting one another). We see two possible approaches to fixing this: improving adversarial robustness, or developing fault tolerant alignment methods that can work even in the presence of vulnerable ML systems. We are most excited by fault tolerant alignment, as it is highly neglected and plausibly tractable, although further work is needed to solidify this approach. By contrast, adversarial robustness is an area that has received significant attention from the ML research community (low neglectedness)[1] but with only modest progress (low to medium tractability). In the remainder of this document, we will argue that systems are exploitable by default, explore the implications this has for alignment agendas in several different scenarios, and outline several research directions we are excited by.

In the remainder of this document, we will argue that systems are exploitable by default, explore the implications this has for alignment agendas in several different scenarios, and outline several research directions we are excited by. Alignment agendas need robustness Most alignment schemes implicitl...

Colors, fonts, images, shapes, white space, and so much more. Our work as instructional designers requires a significant understanding of digital visual design. Even if you're "just an instructional designer" and hand your work over to a "developer", there are still many basics of digital design that make us all better at the work we do.As we've learned from past episodes on topics such as translations and accessibility, how you design the instruction impacts how you will design the visual elements. Some written languages take up more line space than others, so how you write and how much your write has impact on the visuals. And how you write scenarios can also impact design elements for accessibility.Thankfully, we have Mark Lassoff joining us to discuss some of the basic elements of digital design. He has been teaching digital design for many years and understands the areas where instructional designers fall short. His recent articles on Font selection and usage are particularly useful for those new to designing instructional content.  Become virtual friends with the IDIODC gang on Twitter.

Artificial Intelligence is the hot topic for 2023. Useful applications seem to be popping up daily, and existing platforms, like Canva and Microsoft, are creating new "magic" features within their existing apps. Do these news apps and new feature sets make our jobs easier? Some might argue they will someday make our jobs obsolete. The only thing we know for certain is that AI is here to stay, and getting better every day, whether we like it or not.Like all new shiny tech objects that we chase in our industry there will be pros and cons. If your personality leans towards a "glass is half empty" world view AI might be concerning to you. If your excited about AI with a "glass half full" perspective then you've likely already played with these tools and thought of all the creative things you can do to improve your productivity in designing learning content.Mark Oehlert is one of the "glass half full" guys. And I swear he can see the future for real.  He's joining us to talk about how Artificial Intelligence programs like OpenAI, ChatGPT, and others, might change our L&D departments and work we do in them.  We'll discuss details in future episodes of IDIODC, but for now let's get a baseline understanding of the enterprise ecosystem and how AI changes and/or modifies the current structures and skills required for L&D to continue supporting the business and impacting revenue growth.Become virtual friends with the IDIODC gang on Twitter.

Before technology we had 1 method of instruction: Classroom based learning with student/teacher guides. But as technology and the internet began to grow the world gained many new options. Sadly, this initially led to thoughts of learning solutions that would replace the classroom and the instructor.  Today, we've all, finally, accepted the fact that learning is a long term process. One training event cannot truly be the only event required for the realization of business impact. We now mix and match self-paced eLearning segments, shorter classroom experiences (sometimes online), and mobile reminders or micro learning. In some cases there may even be virtual reality or mixed reality thrown into the mix.And with the new Artificial Intelligence, or AI, technologies, there's no telling how many different mixed media experiences one might have to more accurately learn and master a particular topic. There is a lot for us all to learn.Thankfully, we have Michelle Parry-Slater joining us to help make sense of it all. She is an award-winning L&D professional with more than 15 years' experience in the industry. She is the Founder and Director of Kairos Modern Learning, an L&D consultancy specializing in driving a shift from traditional courses to the best of digital, social and face-to-face workplace learning.Become virtual friends with the IDIODC gang on Twitter.

In today's global economy instructional designers are increasingly needing to create learning solutions that meet the needs of many cultures communicating in different languages. For decades the answer was simply mandated within large companies requiring all employees anywhere in the world to understand English. Problem solved? Not so much.Thankfully, modern technology solves the problem of multiple languages. And while we don't have any direct links to research, my guess is that most people learn best using their native language. It's one more way instructional designers can create inclusive, science-based solutions for more effective outcomes. But then the question becomes, how do we do that?Mark Sheppard joins us in this episode to discuss these issues and share his experiences designing and delivering learning solutions for audiences requiring multiple languages. We'll talk about the many challenges and constraints instructional designers may face when encountering a multi-language project for the first time. He'll have a few tips and tricks to share, but we'd also love to hear from our IDIODC community.Join us and share your thoughts on designing and developing learning solutions for multi-language projects.Become virtual friends with the IDIODC gang on Twitter.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Trends in the dollar training cost of machine learning systems, published by Ben Cottier on February 1, 2023 on The AI Alignment Forum. Summary Using a dataset of 124 machine learning (ML) systems published between 2009 and 2022, I estimate that the cost of compute in US dollars for the final training run of ML systems has grown by 0.49 orders of magnitude (OOM) per year (90% CI: 0.37 to 0.56). See Table 1 for more detailed results, indicated by "All systems." By contrast, I estimate that the cost of compute used to train "large-scale" systems since September 2015 (systems that used a relatively large amount of compute) has grown more slowly compared to the full sample, at a rate of 0.2 OOMs/year (90% CI: 0.1 to 0.4 OOMs/year). See Table 1 for more detailed results, indicated by "Large-scale." Based on the historical trends, and reviewing some prior work (Lohn & Musser, 2022 and Cotra, 2020), I estimated my best guess for how quickly costs will grow in the future. Here, I'm assuming a model like the one used by Cotra (2020), where this growth rate is sustained up until spending hits a limit at some non-trivial fraction of gross world product. The below estimates are much less robust than the historical trends. (more) My independent impression: 0.3 OOMs/year (90% CI: 0.1 to 0.4 OOMs/year) My all-things-considered view: 0.2 OOMs/year (90% CI: 0.1 to 0.3 OOMs/year) For future work, I recommend the following: Incorporate systems trained on Google TPUs, and TPU price-performance data, into Method 2. Estimate more reliable bounds on training compute costs, rather than just point estimates. For example, research the profit margin of NVIDIA and adjust retail prices by that margin to get a lower bound on hardware cost. As a broader topic, investigate trends in investment, spending allocation, and AI revenue.

OOM = order of magnitude (10x). See the section Summary of regression results for expanded result tables. Figure 1: estimated cost of compute in US dollars for the final training run of ML systems. The costs here are estimated based on the trend in price-performance for all GPUs in Hobbhahn & Besiroglu (2022) (known as "Method 1" in this report). Read the rest of the report here These are "milestone" systems selected from the database Parameter, Compute and Data Trends in Machine Learning, using the same criteria as described in Sevilla et al. (2022, p.16): "All models in our dataset are mainly chosen from papers that meet a series of necessary criteria (has an explicit learning component, showcases experimental results, and advances the state-of-the-art) and at least one notability criterion (>1000 citations, historical importance, important SotA advance, or deployed in a notable context). For new models (from 2020 onward) it is harder to assess these criteria, so we fall back to a subjective selection. We refer to models meeting our selection criteria as milestone models." This growth rate is about 0.2 OOM/year lower than the growth of t...
