This article is a light-hearted take on how to ensure course failure. So, have a read, and make sure you don’t implement any of the ideas listed.
When SMEs aren’t omniscient superhumans, how can proper solutioning effort support and complement them in a project?
L&D teams seem to follow an all or nothing approach when it comes to learning impact measurement. If you’re measuring a lot of parameters, then good. But if you’re measuring nothing, here are some pointers to get started.
In this exclusive interview with Learnnovators, Conrad Gottfredson shares his insights on the need for prioritizing performance support over the traditional approaches to workplace training. He explains his views on the significance of re-imagining workplace learning by shifting from a ‘learning’ mindset to a ‘performance-first’ mindset. Con’s recommendation to extend our reach into the workflow – where the real learning takes place, is highly thought-provoking.
L&D is an integrative domain that draws on so many other subjects. Therefore, it’s essential that we educate ourselves on these subjects. This article covers a list of the disciplines that are of interest to those in our field, along with some book suggestions under each discipline.
“But what is it that you will do? I’m the one who’s going to give you all the content!”
L&D folks are expected to (rightly so!) be updated on the principles behind their practice. But many are so maxed out on their time that they have nary a minute to spend on self-development. Added to this is the complexity of studying something like learning science (especially true for those who do not have a scientific or technical background). So, if you’re feeling overwhelmed and are not yet ready to bury yourself under research papers, here are 3 quick ways to get started.
The way vendors prepare proposals, even the topics they address, are very varied. Then how do you compare effectively and see if a vendor has given you a thoughtful proposal, with an actual solution?
As human beings, we’re wired to make decisions from the gut. But if we are part of any profession that requires making decisions (cue: nearly every profession), we have a responsibility to inform ourselves of the evidence-based practices in our field, and use that understanding to make decisions. This article explores when we should be deep diving into the principles, and when it’s okay to use our intuition for decision making.
This is about how we, the training industry, are being unwittingly used by unscrupulous corporates to enslave workers.
Oftentimes on social media, we come across posts perpetuating some learning myth or the other, followed by a fiery debate around people pointing it out as a myth, the original poster arguing for their position, and so on. But how can we, the L&D cohort, do better at convincing those people (such as the original poster) that what they believe in has been debunked? Read on to find out…
A bunch of researchers at MIT found a new, much more efficient way to boil water. I find their attitude incredibly inspiring. It’s giving me goosebumps, no kidding. Let me share that awe with you…
