MY “SCIENTIFIC” CONUNDRUM

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.

STELLA COLLINS – CRYSTAL BALLING WITH LEARNNOVATORS

In this exclusive interview with Learnnovators, Stella Collins shares her insights on how learning really works in the human brain. She explains her views on the significance of having a better understanding of ‘brain science’ and mastering ways to bring that into learning design. Stella’s recommendation to give people the ‘skills of learning’ first before we ask them to self-direct their learning, is highly thought-provoking.

RETHINKING LEARNING CULTURE

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.

BOGEYMEN OF INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN

I think I, and every ID I’ve known, has had that bogeyman image of the kind of ID they didn’t want to be when they grew up!

These bogeymen haunt us and every time we catch a glimpse of their shadow in a project, no matter how experienced we are, we turn pale and hope like hell that that wasn’t a reflection we just saw! What scares an ID you ask? These are my bogeymen…

MANAGING INFORMATION OVERLOAD

‘Keep it simple’ is the epitome of folksy wisdom. You can appreciate where it’s coming from, but you can’t blindly follow it and indiscriminately simplify everything under the sun.
