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

Zsolt Olah has read a lot of books. AND he’s read a lot of L&D books. In fact, over a twelve-week period he read over 100 books in preparation for writing his own book, Engage the WORL&D!: A whimsical, brain-picking “meme-oir” from a creative digital learning strategist. So it comes as no surprise that Zsolt published a popular article about L&D Book Recommendations on eLearningIndustry.com. So this is why Zsolt was a perfect guest for our Community Discussion on “What Are Your Favorite L&D Books?”. As a quick summary, here are the distilled recommendations Zsolt has for reading. Consider it “highlights” from his original article. Be sure to listen to the podcast or view the TLDCast episode for more detail about why he recommends each of these books.

Today on TLDChat we welcomed eLearning Developer, Director, Innovation and Learning Solution at PDG (Performance Development Group) and now author Zsolt Olah. Zsolt kicked off this discussion by promising that this episode would not just be a book presentation, something he says is the most boring thing in the world.

This episode, I talk with Zsolt Olah, one of my ID heroes, about two different projects that illustrate how context is king.

Our topic today is:  Game Thinking and the MVP of Instructional Design with special guest Zsolt Olah. Zsolt participated in Kevin Werbach's G.A.M.E. (Gameful Approaches of Motivation and Engagement) along with researchers and practitioners of game design and gamification such as Karl Kapp, Amy Jo Kim, and Sebastian Deterding. While researchers and practitioners might have disagreed on many levels about gamification, there was one big take away for L&D we all agreed on. Is Instructional Design Dead? Zsolt believes that Instructional Design can be the MVP of the game, but only if we redefine our job and move our focus from the traditional content-driven design to user-centered action design. And that's where Game Thinking comes in. Zsolt likes to refer to the systematic approach overall as Game Thinking, which may result in gamification, game-based learning, the combination of the two or no training at all. It all depends on the business goals. Our discussion today explores: The meaning of Game Thinking first. A resistance by instructional designers to designing gamified learning experiences The most frequently asked questions by instructional designers about gamification Moving away from the content-driven approach to a user-centered, action-focused approach The best way to learn more about gamification of learning About Zsolt Olah:  Zsolt is a Director, Innovation and Learning Solutions at PDG (Performance Development Group), where he's responsible for a team to deliver innovative learning and performance solutions that drive business results.
