#IDIODC Instructional Designers In Offices Drinking Coffee

Experienced Learning Engineer Jodi Lis discusses scalability and standardization in L&D. Topics include enhancing healthcare worker performance in Africa, bridging instructional design and learning engineering, and scaling up technology projects. The podcast also explores the efforts to define the role of a learning engineer and establish standards within the industry.

Guy Wallace is our guest this week. He's an experienced L&D professional sharing his successful process in "Conducting performance-based Instructional Analysis".  His latest book presents a "how to" approach to his ISD efforts using methods first learned in 1979 and has been using in consulting gigs since 1982. His approach is "framed" as: MCD - Modular Curriculum Development/Acquisition. He uses it for detailed project planning - and mostly "fixed-fee" pricing. It was first published in the late 1980s in his firm's quarterly newsletter.We're really excited to have him sharing his knowledge and framework with the IDIODC community.  Brought to you by the dominKnow | ONE Platform - Produce, manage, and distribute impactful L&D content – efficiently, at scale.

Everyone now and then, no matter how experienced you are at your craft, should take some time to reflect back on the basics. In this episode, we'll be talking with Myra Roldan about a practical "Back to Basics" approach to Learning & Development.

So, to help us all flex our instructional design muscles Myra will help us work backwards with the end in mind. We'll take a look at what your business needs, FIRST. Then we'll work back towards an appropriate learning intervention.  Join us for what is sure to be a valuable conversation with practical tips you can implement right away. Myra Roldan is a TEDx speaker, author, Award-winning Instructional Designer.

The neuroscience of learning is always a hot topic.  But in this episode we're going to cover more than just learning.  The COVID19 pandemic has created challenges few could imagine. Under normal circumstances change is hard for individuals, organizations, and cultures. But in 2020, we're struggling to adapt, collaborate, and learn, while the unstable world continues to spin around us. We are lucky to have Britt Andreatta as our guest to help us make sense of what is happening within each of us, and collectively within our organizations.  We'll discuss incorporating brain science into the pivots that are occurring in learning design/ delivery due to workplace changes in the era of COVID19.  Dr. Britt Andreatta is an internationally-recognized thought leader who creates brain science-based solutions for today's challenges.

The emotional state of your learners has a big impact on your success as an instructor. How you make them feel may not seem important but it is. And I'm pretty sure there is neuroscience research to support that claim. Even if there isn't, who doesn't like to laugh and have fun while they're learning? We're excited to have Christee Atwood as our guest helping us link laughter and learning. But that's not all. We'll also discuss how to produce successful online virtual training sessions when the audience is skeptical and not very motivated to participate. She'll share a broad range of experiences in corporate training that are sure to tickle your funny bone. "I am the author of 14 books, and counting. I have presented programs from Texas to Tokyo, California to the Caribbean And I've never been hit by a rotten tomato yet. That either means I'm doing well, or that people have more respect for rotting produce than they used to.I write books on business and training topics, as well as humorous books, and occasionally the two overlap." - Christee AtwoodBecome virtual friends with the IDIODC gang on twitter.

Searching for new ways to create engaging media elements in training projects is an ongoing challenge for most designers. Animation beyond the standard effects require deeper thought in design and often involves additional skills in a variety of tools.

With smartphone cameras, available apps and software, we can dramatically reduce those barriers and get started with designing creative stop-motion animation videos to tell stories, explain processes, and more.Lucky for us, Kevin Thorn has a talent stack filled with creativity and he's willing to share those skills with all of us.

It’s like that movie theme song said: When there’s something strange in your elearning ‘hood, who you gonna call? P-L-N!! The past few months have been strange for so many of us in both our work and our personal day-to-day lives. How have you been coping? How have you been able to meet new challenges? In this hyper-connected world, the odds are you’ve had some help along the way whether that’s from colleagues on your own team or the folks you’re connected with on social media – your Personal Learning Network or PLN for short. This week we’ll be talking PLNs with guest Tricia Ransom. Tricia has been working in the L&D world for 15+ years in many different organizations. And no matter how much things change, she says her PLN is easily the most important tool she has in her L&D toolkit. So while Brent’s on vacation, Chris and Tricia will talk PLNs – how they’ve helped her, how you can build your own, and what the P really stands for. (Can you guess?) Tricia Ransom is currently an instructional designer at Uber where she designs and develops relevant training. With over 15 years of experience as an L&D consultant, eLearning developer, instructional designer, and facilitator, Tricia focuses on creating short, relevant, and social learning solutions.
