CONFIRMATION BIAS AND BAD DESIGN REASONING

We come across training design declarations on social media that range from the strange to the utterly unfounded as we all rush to generate content so that we can claim design thought-leadership. All of us who are content creators can sympathize with that pressure, for sure! But, it’s also necessary to be wary because sometimes the claims we make are the result of seriously flawed reasoning.

HOW TO GIVE A BETTER DESIGN BRIEFING TO YOUR E-LEARNING VENDOR

If you search online, you’ll see many articles that address how e-learning vendors should document the design brief. There’s not much help if you’re on the other side of the table and wondering how to get the best from a vendor you’re talking to. So, to help out, here are some tips we put together from our experiences!

Learning Culture

HOW WE BUILD PASSIVE LEARNING CULTURES

NICK SHACKLETON JONES – CRYSTAL BALLING WITH LEARNNOVATORS

In this exclusive interview with Learnnovators, Nick Shackleton Jones shares his insights on how people really learn. He explains his views on the difference between education and learning in the context of our workplaces. Nick’s recommendation to provide relevant resources, accessible at the point of need to our people at work, so as to ensure that ‘less learning’ will take place, is highly thought-provoking.

Is learning amoral, absolutely removed from all ethical concerns? From the curricular choices an organization makes, to the expectations it sets for employee knowledge and expertise, there should be consonance with the overall ethical identity of the organization, because all of these actions have an ethical dimension.

Intellectual Development

DISSECTING INTELLECTUAL INVESTMENT

I know it’s not just me, we’re all increasingly getting drawn into (or witnessing) heated intellectual clashes the last few years, online and offline. These clashes may be political, social, cultural – the subjects vary, but the vehemence and acrimony are constants.

That’s why it seemed a good time to reset by reminding myself of something that changed the way I involved myself in debates.
