Solve Knowledge and Learning Issues with Organization Enablement with Mike Simmons

July 26, 2023 16:00 - 47 minutes - 43.8 MB

We've all heard of Sales Enablement roles. But why is it that only sales teams get special attention enabling them to do their jobs better? Shouldn't we be enabling the entire organization? One might argue that traditional onboarding and training has that responsibility. But it's not quite the same. Enabling all departments to be successful and productive requires more than what traditional training departments provide. Supporting the moments of need within all departments requires knowledg...

Debunking Myths About Creating Accessible Learning Content with Diane Elkins

July 19, 2023 16:00 - 43 minutes - 40.3 MB

Have you asked yourself lately why you don't put a stronger focus on accessibility when creating eLearning content? Oh c'mon, you know you've made excuses why you "can't" do it. We all have at one time or another in our careers. I include myself in that. Here are just a few I'm sure you've used: "Yea, but nobody in our organization has a disability." "Yea, but nobody with a disability could do these particular jobs anyways." "Yea, but it costs more, and we don't have the time to spare." ...

Improving Training Videos Using Neuroscience with Patti Shank

July 12, 2023 16:00 - 46 minutes - 42.6 MB

Just because you have the skills to shoot and edit a video doesn't mean it's instructionally sound. This is why some videos are easier to learn from than others. And why that learning sticks. Watching video is a passive experience and therefore you might think there isn't much more to it than just making it more entertaining. Yea, you'd be wrong. Dr. Patti Shank joins us to discuss some of the mental processing models you can use to your advantage when producing videos. She's taught us all ...

Using AI to Supercharge Training Team Productivity with Myra Roldan

July 05, 2023 16:00 - 45 minutes - 41.5 MB

AI is the hottest topic in L&D since Learning2.0. It's even hotter than Virtual Reality. Why? Because it's something everyone can use and doesn't require additional hardware expenses.  And more importantly, when used creatively, AI apps can supercharge your individual productivity. But if you're a manager/director of an L&D or Training department, you need to build your knowledge of these tools as well. They are changing how your team will work and support stakeholders. Myra Roldan, AWS Sr....

Navigating the NonProfit Learning Ecosystem with Nancy Bacon

June 28, 2023 16:00 - 45 minutes - 41.7 MB

Nonprofit organizations need training too. Just like the for-profit enterprise, a nonprofit has learning needs. Some of that learning is unique to the nonprofit world. And just like SMBs and large enterprises, nonprofits come in all sizes. And as these organizations scale up, so do their training needs. If you're an L&D professional you may have considered working for, or consulting with, a nonprofit. Much of your work will remain the same, but understanding the unique nature of the nonprofi...

Becoming an Accidental Instructional Designer with Cammy Bean

June 14, 2023 16:00 - 46 minutes - 42.3 MB

Oops! I tripped on a lego, and got back up as an accidental instructional designer. HA! Okay, maybe not that type of accident. But there aren't that many of us that grew up always wanting to be an ID. The reality of our workforce is that we're the island of misfit corporate professionals, and former school teachers. This is also the story of today's guest. And she also wrote the book on becoming an Accidental Instructional Designer. Cammy Bean join us to talk about her journey as she launc...

June 07, 2023 16:00 - 40 minutes - 37.1 MB

Is your company, or department, growing and needing to upgrade the training systems you've outgrown? Or maybe you're just curious about the future of your career in L&D or corporate training?

Powering Performance with Formal/Informal Learning at the 5 Moments of Need with Bob Mosher

May 31, 2023 16:00 - 44 minutes - 41.1 MB

The 5 Moments of Need exist in every department of every enterprise, and requires a strong and efficient learning ecosystem. Both formal and informal learning solutions support each of the moments in different ways. When you need to learn NEW stuff or MORE stuff, those are the first 2 moments of need and probably the most obvious. But there is also APPLY, CHANGE, and SOLVE. These are moments that require learning solutions supported by solid design and development processes, and systems as w...

Top Tips for Online Presenting with Kirsten Rourke

May 10, 2023 16:00 - 43 minutes - 39.6 MB

As your career progresses you will be asked to be a speaker, or deliver a presentation, more and more. And it doesn't matter if you enjoy it or not, your thoughts and ideas will need to be communicated to others if you expect to succeed in your career. Working from home, virtual meetings and training sessions, have become the norm. Just because you can open up the zoom app doesn't mean you're good to go. You need a plan for delivering your message in virtual rooms and spaces. You need these...

eLearning Research Surprises that May Surprise You with Jane Bozarth

April 26, 2023 16:00 - 47 minutes - 43 MB

Industry research is an important part of advancing our profession. Did you know that, sometimes, researchers discover interesting trends that don't make the final edit of a report? Obviously, if it was industry changing findings it wouldn't hit the cutting room floor. But even the stuff you never read about can very interesting and helpful in your career growth. We've been looking forward to having Dr. Bozarth on IDIODC for a long time and are thrilled to have her join us. Be sure to tune ...

Data Literacy for Learning Leaders with Zsolt Oláh

April 19, 2023 16:00 - 43 minutes - 39.8 MB

Data literacy is not something traditionally taught to training teams, but leveraging data for decision-making is critical in today's workplace. But just counting butts-in-seats doesn't cut it. It's necessary to interpret the business data you are expecting to impact with your training solutions. But that's often easier said than done. Especially if you're new to the world of training and development. Zsolt Oláh joins us to discuss the data analytics of training and development. We'll discu...

How to Create Accessible Learning Content Supporting DEI with Susi Miller

April 05, 2023 16:00 - 45 minutes - 41.9 MB

When you hear about Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives, how often do you associate them with accessibility? Probably not immediately, right? But when you see it, your brain says "of course"!   Accessibility conversations are often discussed as a separate initiative, when in reality, creating accessible learning content is exactly what DEI programs are all about. Perhaps we should add another letter, and begin calling these programs Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility? ...

Beyond Gamification: What Worked, What Didn't, and What's Next with Karl Kapp

March 29, 2023 16:00 - 45 minutes - 41.4 MB

March 22, 2023 16:00 - 46 minutes - 43 MB

Facilitation is about mastering how to deliver an engaging learning experience, all in the effort of improving workplace performance. Instructional designers work hard to do the same. But often times lack facilitation skills or the nuanced understanding of facilitating a learning experience. Let's connect these valuable skillsets and improve training experiences for everyone. In our current digital world it might be easy to believe the art of facilitation is a lost and unnecessary craft. Bu...

March 15, 2023 16:00 - 45 minutes - 41.8 MB

Telling stories is a tried and true method for helping people learn. You've probably studied the traditional story arc, and the hero's journey, but have you ever tried the Sabido Method?

The Sabido Method has a few steps in the process: Formative Research Policy Framework The Values Grid Writing and Production Monitoring Audience Feedback Impact Evaluation Jim Piechocki joins us to discuss how the Sabido Method has been successfully app...

Digital Design Tips and Tricks for eLearning with Mark Lassoff

March 08, 2023 17:00 - 45 minutes - 42 MB

Colors, fonts, images, shapes, white space, and so much more. Our work as instructional designers requires a significant understanding of digital visual design. Even if you're "just an instructional designer" and hand your work over to a "developer", there are still many basics of digital design that make us all better at the work we do. As we've learned from past episodes on topics such as translations and accessibility, how you design the instruction impacts how you will design the visual...

How AI Impacts Learning and Development Departments with Mark Oehlert

March 01, 2023 17:00 - 42 minutes - 39.2 MB

Artificial Intelligence is the hot topic for 2023. Useful applications seem to be popping up daily, and existing platforms, like Canva and Microsoft, are creating new "magic" features within their existing apps. Do these news apps and new feature sets make our jobs easier? Some might argue they will someday make our jobs obsolete. The only thing we know for certain is that AI is here to stay, and getting better every day, whether we like it or not. Like all new shiny tech objects that we ch...

Successful Blended Learning Methods with Michelle Parry-Slater

February 22, 2023 17:00 - 42 minutes - 38.9 MB

Before technology we had 1 method of instruction: Classroom based learning with student/teacher guides. But as technology and the internet began to grow the world gained many new options. Sadly, this initially led to thoughts of learning solutions that would replace the classroom and the instructor.   Today, we've all, finally, accepted the fact that learning is a long term process. One training event cannot truly be the only event required for the realization of business impact. We now mix...

Instructional Design Best Practices for Supporting Multiple Languages with Mark Sheppard

February 08, 2023 17:00 - 41 minutes - 37.8 MB

In today's global economy instructional designers are increasingly needing to create learning solutions that meet the needs of many cultures communicating in different languages. For decades the answer was simply mandated within large companies requiring all employees anywhere in the world to understand English. Problem solved? Not so much. Thankfully, modern technology solves the problem of multiple languages. And while we don't have any direct links to research, my guess is that most peop...

Make Learning Come to Life Using Readable Videos with Lee LeFever

February 01, 2023 17:00 - 45 minutes - 41.9 MB

Who remembers seeing their first CommonCraft video? I remember seeing RSS in Plain English back in the day and thinking, "Wow, this guy if FANTASTIC!" That particular video is now considered a classic, and low budget, compared to today's Explainer Videos. But the cool thing is that it STILL works.  It takes a relatively complex topic and explains it "in plain english".  If you've always felt like you could never "do video", then this is a must attend event for you. Lee and his wife taught t...

Section 508 Accessibility and TTV5 for eLearning with Jenny Wincek

January 25, 2023 17:00 - 44 minutes - 40.8 MB

Do you know if your eLearning is accessible? If no, why not? As an instructional designer it's your responsibility to make sure your eLearning projects are accessible for all possible learners. And hey, you eLearning developers! This is your responsibility as well. Even if it is not mandated within your industry, it's the right thing to do.   Jenny Wincek joins us from Interactive Advantage to talk about the Trusted Tester program. We will cover some of the basics of 508 and WCAG complianc...

Reflecting on Instructional Design, Performance Support, and Technology with Allison Rossett

January 18, 2023 17:00 - 44 minutes - 41.2 MB

Allison Rossett's web site has a great quote, "She works on Learning and Technology in a way that is creative, concrete, and quirky." But what it should say is The Greatest of All Time! And her credits and accolades prove it. Not to mention being a genuinely wonderful human being. She is a legend in L&D, but specifically making her mark in the realm of Performance Support. She was promoting Performance Analysis and Support before most practitioners had even thought about what instruction mi...

December 14, 2022 17:00 - 45 minutes - 41.4 MB

Sure you can find a lot of different free images on the internet, but there's always a project, or 2, that need that extra special custom graphic element. You could pay a graphic designer to create something, but that also comes with some headaches. Why not just learn to create it yourself? I think you'll be surprised as how easy it really is.

Modern Project-Based Learning for Instructional Designers with Brent Newhall

November 30, 2022 17:00 - 42 minutes - 39.2 MB

Most skills will never be learned without actually DOING the skill. Duh. It's basic training 101 that if it's too expensive or too dangerous to simply practice a skill many, many, times, then you the design should include a simulated version of the skill. And all knowledge can only be valuable to a business if it is applied to the work being done. Well, coding skills and knowledge are neither dangerous nor expensive for learners to practice. And because of that fact, proving proficiency in c...

Why Instructional Designers Need to Understand xAPI with Aaron Silvers

November 23, 2022 17:00 - 46 minutes - 42.2 MB

You may not know Aaron Silvers, but around here we affectionately refer to him as the OG of xAPI.  He has been driving it since its inception as Tin Can and worked tirelessly promoting the benefits for our community of instructional designers and L&D professionals. We'll talk with Aaron about the early days of xAPI and why it was necessary to create in a world dominated by SCORM.  And while SCORM will likely never go away, xAPI is finally delivering on the promise of flexible and specific d...

Shifting from Internal to External Customer Training with B.J. Schone

November 16, 2022 17:00 - 43 minutes - 40.1 MB

Having instructional design skills and knowledge can open up many different career paths. The easiest distinction for many is either being in education/higher ed or going the corporate route. If you decided to go the corporate route, you would typically land in the HR department designing training solutions for internal employees. However, more and more IDs are making the shift to corporate product departments and designing learning systems for external users of the product or services the ...

The Learning Engineering Toolkit You Need with Jim Goodell

November 09, 2022 17:00 - 42 minutes - 38.9 MB

Learning Engineer may sound like a fancy new title for instructional designers, but it's so much more than that. The current state of our "industry" is spread quite thin across many domains. There is art, science, technology, humanity, politics, business, and so much more all part of the work we do as corporate training professionals of one form or another. Learning Engineering finally brings it all together under one banner. Jim Goodell is the editor of the new book The Learning Engineerin...

The Big Shift – Virtual and Hybrid Learning in the Wake of COVID-19 with Jo Cook

November 02, 2022 16:00 - 43 minutes - 39.9 MB

So much changed in the spring of 2020. In our L&D world there was a massive shift to online learning to deal with the elimination of in-person events. Two-and-a-half years later online virtual and hybrid sessions are still a highly popular way of delivering training. Our industry has had time to settle in with tools like Teams and Zoom – but how many of us have actually been able to shift to using them in the most effective ways possible? In this week’s session we’ll talk with Jo Cook to d...

October 19, 2022 16:00 - 45 minutes - 41.4 MB

There are many frustrations working in Corporate Learning & Development. And there are many opinions as to why Learning & Development, and training departments struggle to be recognized as important parts of the business. Mark Oehlert joins us with what may, or may not, be one of the most controversial reasons why L&D struggles. And could it really be as simple as how the accounting department accounts for our existence? But wait! This conversation is surely not as boring as accounting sou...

Automate Your Instructional Design Work Using No-code Tools with Mike Taylor

October 12, 2022 16:00 - 43 minutes - 40 MB

Designing and developing instruction is a creative and fun process.  But it can also be filled with boring and frustrating details and "administrivia". In the not so distant past automating simple workflow processes meant learning to code and programming sequenced tasks, or worse, doing them yourself, over and over again, manually. But not any more. Mike Taylor joins us to talk about no-code tools that can help you improve your workflow and make you more efficient. If you're not sure what n...

By following just a few simple visual design rules an ID ca...

Improving Corporate Training Using Hollywood Experience with Jim Piechocki

September 28, 2022 16:00 - 47 minutes - 43.6 MB

What happens when experienced Hollywood professionals join the corporate training industry and begin to solve real world safety and training problems? I get very curious. That's what happens. And when I find out they're creating successful training using Hollywood storytelling skills instead of instructional design methods, then I invite them to be on IDIODC to talk about it. Jim Piechocki is part of a growing group of entertainment professionals taking advantage of new technologies like VR...

How to Storyboard for eLearning with Tim Slade

September 21, 2022 16:00 - 44 minutes - 40.5 MB

Storyboarding is only one part of the instructional design process.  But storyboarding is a craft that's been around for a very long time, and used in the design process of many creative endeavors.  There are many different techniques for storyboarding as well.  Some IDs will start with pen and paper sketching out their concepts.  Others use templates in digital applications.  And many designers who also develop will storyboard directly inside their authoring tool. Tim Slade join us to help...

What You Need to Know about Nudge-Learning with Amy Parent

September 14, 2022 16:00 - 49 minutes - 44.9 MB

Nudge-Learning. Is it micro-learning? Is it slow-drip learning? It is work-flow learning? Whatever it is, it's become another hot new term being used amongst instructional design communities.  It's a new one for me, so of course we needed to learn more about it.  I reached out on LinkedIn, commented on an article about it, and found Amy Parent from Salience Learning. Amy is an experienced and passionate instructional designer and learning technologist who loves to experiment with new ideas,...

Drink'n'Draw: Creating Visual Languages for More Effective Training with Kevin Thorn

September 07, 2022 16:00 - 49 minutes - 44.9 MB

Communicating clearly is probably the most difficult thing anyone can do in business.  Our job as Instructional Designers is often to make better communication happen under the guise of "we need everyone to be better trained on _______".  It doesn't matter what level you are at within your training team or the overall organization.  Everyone from the new intern to the experienced CLO needs to improve their ability to communicate complex ideas and concepts in order to influence others into a...

Understanding Organizational Enablement for Instructional Designers with Mike Simmons

July 20, 2022 16:00 - 49 minutes - 45 MB

The Organization Enablement movement is coming. But what is it? And how does this impact our role in corporate training learning and development? Since corporate culture starts at the top, here's a few questions to ask yourself. How are you facilitating growth in your organization? Do you define growth based on revenue? Or maybe it's based on the number of people in your organization. What if you defined it based on how your people are growing? Growth in fulfillment. Growth in satisfactio...

Drink'n'Draw: Your Vacation While Building Visual Design Skills with Kevin Thorn

July 13, 2022 16:00 - 44 minutes - 40.8 MB

Our Drink'n'Draw host, Kevin Thorn, recently took his family to Disney World and he sketchnoted the entire experience.   Of course he did. If you think this doesn't have any relationship or impact on your work, well, you'd be wrong. Analyzing business processes is a mandatory part of L&D work.  We listen.  We ask questions.  We watch. And then magic happens... poof... instructional objectives are written. While that may be how your stakeholders see it, we all know the invisible magic is ...

Freelancing: 5 Tips for IDs Planning their Corporate Exit Strategy with Cara North

July 06, 2022 16:00 - 45 minutes - 41.8 MB

The corporate 9 to 5 isn't for everyone, and never has been. In a post-pandemic world nobody is even really sure what "work" looks like any more. Are you going back into the office? Maybe, you're in the office for half the week and working from home the other half. Or maybe not. It's been a frustrating experience for many, and a liberating experience for others. Why liberating? Well, some IDs used their "pandemic time" to work on making their dream of freelancing become a reality. And you c...

Building Career Mobility for Frontline Workers with Matthew Daniel

June 29, 2022 16:00 - 45 minutes - 41.3 MB

Did you know the same percentage of employees who quit due to pay also quit for not having career advancement opportunities (63% - Pew Research)? We talk a lot about the technologies and processes used by instructional designers, but have you ever thought about how important your role is in providing career opportunities for others? It's easy to focus on the details of our work, and it's important to do so.  However, looking a little further down the road at the great impact of our work for...

Big Learning Results with Little Experiments with Shannon Tipton

June 15, 2022 16:00 - 46 minutes - 43 MB

Damn it, Jim! I'm an Instructional Designer! Not a scientist! That may be so, but it doesn't mean you can't perform experiments. Testing things out is how we learn. You can ask experts, consultants, and thought leaders, to give you all the answers, but you'll never truly know what will work until you do it.  So, let's learn how to experiment within L&D. Trying things out first is how we gain the confidence to make decisions.  And the biggest decision you need to make is how can you improve...

Marketing Your Learning Content for Success with Ashley Sinclair

May 11, 2022 16:00 - 47 minutes - 43.5 MB

We often forget that creating a training event is only one part of the process. Just because you build it does not mean anyone in the business will hear about it, or want to engage. Some might say that if you use good enough instructional design practices that you don't need to do anything else.  However, if you've spent any time at all working on large launches, or new initiatives, you know there is more to it than simply good instructional design. Part of your program design should includ...
