Launched this year is our Leadership Learning APP Aspiring Leaders is an exciting new learning method using workflow learning science. It is mobile-first, and completely scalable for any phone, tablet, or computer screen. The app is built on the OttoLearn microlearning platform, a Canadian-owned online learning company which TAC has partnered with for many years, because it complements our multisensory systems. In the words of the microlearning developer, “Microlearning is the perfect companion to longer-form training.” Workflow learning (also known as microlearning) is designed to provide learners with short, narrowly focused learning interactions that occur in short bursts at random moments throughout the day. Workflow learning is designed to integrate into, rather than disrupt from, the learner’s workday. Just 5 mins of your time each day to focus on your leadership skills. Through advanced algorithms, Aspiring Leaders randomly delivers activities to the learner, to help them achieve ‘mastery’ of each activity, concept, and topic. The program is a perfect post-program solution for Results-Centred Leadership because it helps overcome the forgetting curve. Investment 1 Year Subscription $300.

Two things I learned about Articulate Storyline today: 1. If you click Undo all the way back until you can't anymore, and then try to close without saving the file, Storyline may decide to corrupt your file for fun. 2. Icons used from Articulate are not included in the Media Library. One of these was less impactful than the other.

Happy Friday! No one likes their LMS! Why? A tip about LMS selection. Always pick an LMS based on your needs AND not because you see a booth at a learning conference. You don’t take a family trip in a Ferrari 🤔 Are you still paying a premium fee per user? Are you paying for LMS training content? That’s so 90s 👀 I took a quick look at LearnWorlds and the AI features are a game changer. This is what every system should be capable of today. #LearningAndDevelopment #TalentDevelopment #HumanResources #Lms #TrainingAndDevelopment

*Learning Design* Session #T4S3 It was an interactive “Support Group Panel” format beautifully chaired by Andrew Jacobs Panelists were Julie Dirksen Cammy Bean and Jane Bozarth. Session was kickstarted with a discussion by participants (in 2s)about what your job role is and what you really do. The summary showed a common theme… Instructional designers actually fit into roles outside of their job descriptions. My takeaways 1. Elearning has the tendency to make us loose the element of improving on learning content and activities when we don’t use the data being collected 2. ⁠An instructional designer requires several skills including being a consultative learning advisor 3. ⁠Educate stakeholders about the difference between changes and bugs Resources: Designbetterlearning.com Book - accidental instructional designer authored by Cammy Bean LT24UK T4S3

These are all great tips, but I disagree that "You MAY also want to try and do what people aren't supposed to do." I think this is a CRITICAL step that any good e-Learning QA process MUST include. So often, we just test our e-Learning courses by taking them in order as we expect the typical user to do, but users may end up doing things out of order, accidentally click somewhere they weren't supposed to, or go backwards in a course to review something and then rapidly navigate out again, and if course isn't thoroughly tested to see how it behaves when unexpected behavior occurs, it may well break in those situations. Needless to say, when a learner is stuck and the course appears to be broken, they're going to get frustrated, they're not going to be learning, and the credibility of the course and the team that created it may get called into question. So I implore you e-Learning developers out there: thoroughly test your courses and do ALL the things people aren't supposed to do.

Whether it's a blog post, ebook, webinar, or video, it can be considered a form of elearning if it's designed to educate or impart knowledge to consumers. If you are interested in using elearning content to enhance your content strategy, this article is a great reference. #elearning #contentstrategy https://lnkd.in/eRrhMy43

If you are new to Articulate Storyline, you can benefit from learning to build a course from a template. While that sounds like a great idea, you may not have enough experience to do just that. In this case, Allison LaMotte has provided a great tutorial as well.

So I've been working a bit on this experiment of an Instructional Systems Designer GPT https://lnkd.in/geDDfHck The difference here is that I fed it all the original ADDIE process information. Would you take it for a spin and share your thoughts? ALSO I'm sharing how to build your own today at 11AM EST check comments. #learninganddevelopment #edtech #highered #elearning #instructionaldesign #traininganddevelopment

Tips & Tools for Managing Your Course Assets. People ask why pay for Articulate Storyline 360 and one answer is you also have several tools along with the authoring abilities of Storyline. While it does seem like a lot at one time, your subscription includes images, characters, icons, illustrations, not to mention quiz maker, and the ability to use REVIEW. That is a web-based tool where you can share your projects with anyone, they can make comments and you use that to revise the project. You also have access to RISE 360 a web-based design program. You should also take advantage of the amazing community. https://buff.ly/2PM8jTX?

Saw this post from Cara North: What you need to know about the future of accessibility standards. If you are in learning and development, you need to know how to include everyone in your course design.

Are you using the quiz features in Articulate 360 products to your best advantage? These examples could help you with some new ideas. These are great for people who are new to Articulate and have not experimented yet. One of the new features I like is the ability to let participant’s take a quiz and then retake only the questions they miss. This can save everyone time.
