#IDIODC Instructional Designers In Offices Drinking Coffee

It seems like every time you blink, a new learning platform pops into existence with some new innovative twist. There are now well over 800 learning platforms on the market. The real question is: what are we supposed to do with that information? How does any organization even begin to make sense of the crazy LMS (...or more like Learning Platform) market place.Tune in for an informal discussion as Bryan Chapman shares his framework for learning platform market segmentation, with 10 primary segments and 37 sub-sectors based on different user models.  After presenting his map of the learning space, we'll let the discussion and questions take us anywhere you'd like to explore. Some topics that may be fun to touch on include innovations around collaborative learning, balancing highly structured learning with learning-on-demand; and how many organizations use multiple technologies as part of a broader learning ecosystem.Become virtual friends with the IDIODC gang on Twitter.

Have you ever wondered why training solutions often don't actually solve business problems? Or maybe you just inherently know that the REAL issue is something other than a training issue. How can you be sure? And if you're right, how do you effectively communicate that to management?Performance Improvement Consulting, or PIC, is an outstanding answer to that question.Guy Wallace is a long time Performance Analyst and Instructional Architect.  He's joining IDIODC to share his knowledge of PIC and how you can level up your career from ID to Performance Analyst Consultant.Discovering root causes to performance problems is critical in your success.  Even if you're "just the instructional designer", you'll want to know if the work you're doing is going to have any impact on the business.  And if the business problem is not a problem that your training solution will solve, then you will fail.Become virtual friends with the IDIODC gang on Twitter.

Do you still look at Microlearning as simply shorter videos? That's not necessarily wrong, but if that's all they are, then why don't we just call them "short videos"? Microlearning has been a hot topic for several years now and we finally know what makes great microlearning more than just short videos.Dr. Robyn Defelice joins us to talk about Microlearning as a concept or methodology in addition to the final microlearning products we all want to create.  Dr. Defelice will talk to us about microlearning deriving an answer, creating extremely focused pieces of training that build on one another to enhance, grow, or remediate a skill or performance.  But that's only one part of it. She will also discuss the importance of data analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of your microlearning solutions.  But there's more. We'll also discuss new skills required for instructional designers like learning to write differently, engage quickly, and more.  There are important design skills to consider and we'll discuss as many as we can in this episode of IDIODC.Become virtual friends with the IDIODC gang on Twitter.

Video content is the future... of the internet. If you haven't noticed, everyone is creating and consuming more video content than ever before. Even interactive eLearning programs incorporate more video than I can ever remember. Not everyone has jumped on this particular trend, but it's never too late to get onboard.Josh Cavalier is joining us to talk about video production processes and other tips and tricks to help us all improve our processes.  You may know how to press that record button, but then what?  How many pieces of learning content do you create from that finished video file? We think you'll be surprised by how many options there are. And Josh is just the man to talk with us about it because he's in the process of writing a book on the subject.There are many different topics around video that we can discuss, but it's hard to fit them all into a 45min conversation.  In fact, is IDIODC even the right length for a video? Josh will also talk about the long and short of video production.  He's got tips for creating both and high performance processes to help increase your productivity in "we need it yesterday" corporate environments.You can either just look busy.  Or you can produce more content as if you've got an entire team behind you. Let's talk to Josh about how we can all become high producing learning content creators.Become virtual friends with the IDIODC gang on Twitter.

Many Instructional Designers work within Human Resource departments.  So, it would makes sense to learn as much as possible about the things that are important to HR leaders.  Learning and Development has been a hot topic for HR departments for many years.  However, in a post pandemic world suffering from "the great resignation" it is more important than ever.Janet Clarey, from McClean & Company has released their 2022 HR Trends Report.  As a researcher familiar with the challenges of Learning and Development she is uniquely positioned to help us understand how these trends will impact instructional designers.In preparation for this episode you can get the highlights of the report here: https://hr.mcleanco.com/research/ss/2022-hr-trends-report?utm_campaign=hrtrends&utm_medium=social&utm_source=linkedin&utm_content=webpage-image&utm_term=employeeadvocacyAnd while all of the "Critical Insights" have some sort of Learning and Development component the most telling is this one:"With tight labor markets a reality for many, hiring for aptitude and training for skills may well be the path forward for learning and development in an age of change."Become virtual friends with the IDIODC gang on Twitter.

We experience AI in our daily lives through our fitness trackers, home digital assistant systems, and curated news services, to name a few examples. For talent development, this is no different.But does this change anything for Instructional Designers? Does it change ID methods, models, and techniques that have served us well for decades?Margie Meacham joins us to help answer some of these questions.  And maybe we don't know the answers yet.  The good news is there are already instructional projects and programs using AI within Talent Development. Margie helped the United Nations build their first AI driven learning consultant chatbot and will talk about her experiences with that and other similar projects. We'll also discuss how you can make AI part of your Learning and Development solutions.  Become virtual friends with the IDIODC gang on Twitter.

Games are great tools for learning.  And just so we're clear, designing games for learning is very different from gamification.  Learning is a large part of all games, but building a game with the specific intent of teaching a specific concept, idea or process, is not easy.  Myra Roldan created a game to teach about the basics of blockchain.  And if you're asking yourself what the heck is blockchain, then this episode, and the game, are for you.  The game is temporarily titled: LearnCoin (for now).She is creating a blockchain game with the objective of teaching L&D and others how blockchain works. To build knowledge of the inner working so that team and individuals can be thinking of potential use cases and applications in learning. She is currently prototyping the game and it will evolve as she play tests with people in industry.Join us for an engaging conversation around building a game for learning.Become virtual friends with the IDIODC gang on Twitter.
