 Luis Garcia - The Journey Story of a Learning Technologist Kicking off this episode with Luis Garcia by sharing a memorable quote by Jim Barksdale. "If we have data, let's look at data. If all we have are opinions, let's go with mine.” How true is that? Our lives are now measured consistently by data. How many clicks, impressions, shares, comments, open rate, and more. What does the data reveal about human behavior? People also have opinions and those matter because they reflect so much insight. Different ways of thinking, knowledge, experience, wisdom, problems and solutions. Luis kicked off the show by sharing that his love of learning started at an early age. He began learning how to program when he was 7 years old. His parents wanted him to focus on that as a career path. As he got older he discovered his real passion for music - FYI, he plays the guitar and keyboard. He and his twin brother came to the US with his parents visiting colleges with a focus on computer programming. The family visited top tier Ivey League schools and decided to visit Orlando on the way back. That is when Luis and his brother toured Full Sail. Now another twist in the career roller coaster happened. FS launched a new degree in digital media. This was a combination of music, graphics with a dash of virtual reality technology.  To hear more about Luis career story, thoughts about 2030 and AI, listen to the WHOLE show. This one is an exciting story.  #iHeartRadio #ApplePodcasts #GooglePlay #Spotify #Stitcher #Podbean #YouTube #Employers4Change #E4C #internships #radio #podcast #innovation #employers #smallbusiness #business #FutureOfWork #ValenciaCollegeRadio

Bienvenidos a un nuevo episodio de este su podcast.En esta ocasión me tocó platicar con Zsolt Olah, quien es Learning Technologist en nada más y nada menos que en Amazon. Tiene más de 20 años de inovación en la intersección entre la tecnología, data, ciencia del aprendizaje y motivación. Zsolt tiene ya varios años de expertise en temas de aprendizaje, ha pasado desde Amazon Web Services (AWS) en temas de Digital Learning and Experience, fue también L&D Program Manager en Comcast, Learning Consultant en Kineo, Diseñador Instruccional en Oracle, y vaya, solo con eso se podrán dar cuenta de la carrera tan interesante de Zsolt y por qué me interesaba mucho hablar con él.Es además autor también de “Engage the Worl&d!”, un libro enfocado en Learning and Development (de ahí el juego de palabras de “Worl&d”) y escrito de una manera increíble con varias pizca de humor y hasta con memes muy útil para cualquier persona en L&D donde se exploran seis rasgos clave: 1.- Pensamiento Crítico2.- CREAM (Creatividad, Compromiso y Motivación)3.- Resiliencia Adaptativa4.- Diseño Centrado en el Ser Humano5.- Impacto Social6.- (Des)mitificación de Mitos.Si quieren conocer más acerca de este libro, les recomiendo visitar su página web:  https://www.engagetheworldbook.com/#/Vayamos ahora con los Highlights de mi conversación con Zsolt: No es ningún secreto que todos queremos saber qué pasa dentro de Amazon y cómo se desenvuelven en temas de aprendizaje en su día a día, y qué mejor que escuchar todo esto de alguien tan relevante y tan conectado con la gente como lo es Zsolt. Ahora les comparto algunos de los insights que más me llamaron la atención de nuestra conversación: 1. - No diseña el aprendizaje, se diseñan condiciones para aprender.Zsolt nos comparte que una de sus mayores revelaciones en los últimos años en torno al aprendizaje es que mucha gente piensa que diseñamos el aprendizaje.Pero aprender es personal, sucede en tu cerebro y según muchas variables, como las emociones y lo que pase en un momento específico. Lo que realmente diseñamos es la condición o condiciones en torno al aprendizaje.Si diseñas el aprendizaje, y crees que esa es la única forma de aprender, produce cosas que piensas basadas en la ciencia, datos duros, mientras que si te concentras en diseñar las mejores condiciones para el aprendizaje, te obligas a salir de tu mentalidad personal de aprendizaje. Hay que pensar en la organización, herramientas, relaciones, etc. todo lo que envuelve al individuo que quiere aprender. 2.- Gamificar mostrando el valor que tiene: la solución para motivar a tu equipo.La vida y el aprendizaje pasa incluso aunque no lo notemos, e incluso sin darnos cuenta ya estamos jugando en nuestro día a día, Zsolt lo llama “The Prioritization Game”.Tenemos tiempo y energía limitada en nuestro trabajo y ponemos en prioridad diferentes cosas dependiendo del contexto en el que estamos, ya sea los proyectos que tenemos, la relación que tenemos con nuestro jefe, en su rol, en las prioridades de la organización, etc.Entonces, cuando les proponemos completar cursos enfocados en su aprendizaje, suelen dejar de lado estas oportunidades por no sentirse motivados a mover sus prioridades.¿Cuál podría ser la solución? Zsolt lo reduce en dos puntos:1.- El aprendizaje debe tener un valor, debe ser significativo.2.- Mostrar y hacer evidente el valor que tiene este aprendizaje.La gamificación debe tener motivación, sí, pero debemos ser objetivos con el valor que está ligado a este aprendizaje. Creemos que es algo obvio, pero no suele ser así. 3.- Tráfico y Aprendizaje, más similitudes que diferencias.Todos se quejan del tráfico, pensamos “¿Por qué vamos tan lento? ¿Por qué nadie se mueve?” Pero solemos omitir que todas las personas dentro de los autos que se quejan del mismo tráfico, al mismo tiempo, son el problema del que se quejan. Lo mismo pasa en el aprendizaje, Zsolt deja claro que la solución ante las problemáticas que giran torno al aprendizaje no serían tan fácil de resolver como “salir del auto, dejarlo ahí y caminar para avanzar”, pero lo que sí puede ser igual de sencillo es cambiar es el mindset con el que atacamos el este problema, pensar en qué podemos hacer para solucionarlo. Así como caminar o tomar otras alternativas antes de subirnos a nuestro auto podría solucionar el tráfico, cuestionarnos si el contenido que creamos es únicamente atractivo y/o entretenido, o si realmente estamos creando contenido que pueda impactar y crear un cambio en sus vidas puede ser el giro que necesitamos los líderes encargados del Desarrollo y Aprendizaje (L&D).Espero que este episodio te genere muchos insights y te lleves más de una idea que te haga vibrar.Dare to LearnConoce más de mí en https://diegolainez.com.mx/Contacto contacto@diegolainez.com.mx

In this week's podcast, Leila McKenzie-Delis, CEO and Founder of DIAL Global speaks to Clay Johnson, Senior Learning Technologist, University of the West of England."I think we need to change our educational framework...Modern education needs to address modern societal need. That process is happening within schools at the grassroots. It is happening organically because teachers fundamentally want to establish positive relationships with the people that they teach."You'll hear about:- Clay's personal and professional story including his childhood in a mixed race neighbourhood in South Africa in the 70s, his experience of apartheid, moving to the UK and his life since- How challenges experienced by minority groups are sometimes viewed through a distant lens, without full appreciation of what they go through and an understanding of the deep-seated legacy issues that arise- How Clay has modified his own behaviour like many others from minority communities have in response to the ramification of global events or lived experience, for example, making sure that people can see his hands or putting his hood down if he is out walking on his own-  Clays thoughts on governmental responsibility as well as diversity and inclusion when it comes to education- Systemic failure within education due to cookie cutter models of success, leading to a need for the individual to be put back at the heart of education.- How policy, strategy and legislation can be used effectively but policy at high levels is created by politicians and not people who work at grassroots level with lived experience, thus leading to disconnect- The positive role models that contributed to Clay's lived experience despite some traumatic times- The importance of story-telling and actually talking about some of our lived experiences, especially the difficult, challenging onesContinue the conversation on LinkedIn

Quite a few of us are now used to ‘working from home' , it was good to find out about ‘learning from home' or ‘remote learning' which a lot of young people are having to do just now.   David Gilmour, who is a ‘Learning Technologist' working in East Lothian, came into the pod to explain to Marysia what the challenges of supporting learners of all ages remotely. It is interesting to hear a little bit about the background and the changes which have happened between lockdowns. And a couple of preconceived ideas are shown to be mistaken. David is speaking to us on a personal basis as opposed to being a spokesperson for his employer

Elliott Masie is a successful Broadway Producer and head of the MASIE Learning Center, but that wasn't always the case. After Elliott failed at his first job of being an employee, he accepted the feedback from his boss as fuel to pursue his talents in positive ways.  In this episode, Elliott describes his philosophy on accepting the chapters of life as they are. When we get to a fork in the road, we can become stuck on what we're “supposed to do” or what's the “right next move.” Elliott has a different perspective. He explains that life is structured in chapters and each chapter has a purpose and meaning to make you better. When it comes to failure, we don't process the failure in real time, we may never even understand it, but we are always impacted by it.
