Sales Enablement is the most exciting area where LnD professionals can work based on my experience. It has the best salaries, and IDs supporting it need be well versed in performance support practices rather than course making. This week I talked to Karen Sanderson who has been a leader in this field that started at the turn of this century. Karen share some important nuances about what sales enablement does, the processes and the technologies supporting it.

eLearning has been a beacon of innovation since its rudimentary beginnings in the 70s with Don Bitzer's PLATO system, then transitioning to PC use with Michael Allen's Authorware. There's no one better I could have had this conversation than the always innovating and inspiring Anna Sabramowicz. She was one the first eLearning developers in look up to and still admire on a daily basis. Anna stopped by to have a wonderfully candid conversation about the craft of developing eLearning courses.

Literally, the term "soft skills" can be traced to the U.S. Army efforts after creating its Human Resource Research Organization aka HumRRO. However, upon close inspection you may find that the context in which it was examined in 1972 does not mirror what is mostly understood today as soft skills. My guest in this exciting episode is Ioanna Mantzouridou Onasi, an entrepreneurial woman, CEO and co-founder of the Dextego platform.

Abraham Maslow (1908-1970) was an American psychologist well known for his work on the Theory of Motivation from which, the Hierarchy of Needs was established. The reality is that he never placed the needs in a pyramid and the order of the needs is not a fixed hierarchy.

Since the invention of the radio by Guglielmo Marconi, audio became an essential medium in the way we communicate and learn. Marconi's "wireless telegraph" was just the beginning as other names like Reginald Fessenden expanded the use of radio waves in the early 1900s. Today, we have audio as a very popular format in the way of podcasts and audio conversations in social media.

Instructional Design (ID) models are visual representations of the ID process grounded in theoretical frameworks. One ID model that gave birth to the Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation (ADDIE) process is the Interservice Procedures for Instructional Systems Development or IPISD model. Although there are many ID models and only a few seem to be in use in workplace learning today. In this episode, Dr. Tonia Dousay has co-authored published several editions for the Survey of Instructional Design Models which is a great resource to learn about ID models. She and I had a thoughtful discussion about the evolution of ID models from behavioral to systemic approaches to training. We looked at which models can fit better for a particular context and many other interesting facts about them.

Human Performance Technology or HPT is the use of science and tools to enable performance in the workplace. It goes beyond course development and it comes out of the Golden Era of Systems Approach to Training (SAT) in the 70s. There are several authors to recognize out of a time where instructional systems design reached is most advanced practice. Guy Wallace has been an HPT practitioner for about 45+ years and we explore some of the influences that led to such impactful practice in Learning and Development.

In today's episode I had a great conversation with Matthew Schmidt, Associate Professor of EdTech at University of Florida. Matt has been leading efforts on establishing standards for Instructional Design (ID) and leads the research and practice of Learning Experience Design or LXD. The LXD monicker as been rejected by many and embraced by some. In many contexts, LXD gets conflated with ID, so this episode brings clarity to the discussion of this practice from its various self-proclaimed pundits.

In 1998, educators Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe published the book Understanding by Design (UbD) and within it the Backwards Design (BD) model. Since then, they have revolutionized the way school systems, particularly teachers, approach curriculum planning. The model consists of three stages known as: Identifying desired results, determining acceptable evidence, and plan learning experiences and instruction. In recent years, many corporate learning professionals have advocated for the use of Backwards Design inspired by the famous Stephen R. Covey quote "Begin with the end in mind". This episode focuses on the documented evidence for the use of this model, its value and purpose for workplace learning.

In its long trajectory to try to improve itself from a school-based methodology, training departments have been attractive by various ideas the promote informal learning over anything else. The 70:20:10 framework/model is one of these ideas which stems from 1980s research by the Center for Creative Leadership. I wrote before about this topic during a time where LinkedIn was buzzing with discussions about its effectiveness. The true purpose of this model was a representation based on a qualitative study of successful senior executives and their take on the major influences on their success. Then, there have been quite popular mentions of this approach by well known practitioners in the private field but no substantial research evidence to supported as it has been claimed on the Internet.

Comics are a form of visual language that has captured the imaginations of many since the early 1830s. Of course, one can think of visual language far predating the 19th century with Egyptian, Greek, Roman civilizations. However, the comic is a force of its own and turns out, comics have been influential in several instructional scenarios since the 1940s. Today, we explore the world of comics and instruction with Kevin Thorn, a visual storyteller, instructional designer, eLearning developer, Director of Development at Artisan E-Learning, and Chief NuggetHead at NuggetHeadz Studioz. Kevin has been a good friend of mine in the industry and we had a deep meaningful conversation about the power of comics in instruction.

The concept of Micro-Learning has been extremely popular in recent years but did you know it emerged as a strategy for human resources in 1963? Since then, many researchers have expounded on this concept and its methodology. The common theme to remember is that it's not about the length of the learning experience but rather the attainment of a single skill. This episode takes a quick look into related concepts like Micro-Storage, Micro-Retrieval, and how Micro-Learning should be implemented based on its foundational principles.

Edgar Dale was a prominent proponent of the use of instructional media for better learning experiences. His 1946 book Audiovisual Methods in Teaching, presents the Cone of Experience, an audiovisual instructional model. Dale's Cone of Experience (CoE) is a visual representation of different types of learning experiences, arranged in the form of a cone. The cone consists of various levels of learning experiences, ranging from low-level experiences such as reading and listening to high-level experiences such as direct, hands-on participation. As anything else in the education and instructional design spheres, The CoE has been misunderstood and misrepresented by many in the Internet, turning it into a learning retention model for it which was never supposed to represent. This episode breaks down the real intent and value of Dale's CoE. GET A FREE TRIAL OF THE NUMBER ONE USER RATED LMS IN THE WORLD! LearnWorlds https://learnworlds.grsm.io/stylelearn SOURCES Bruner, J.

What drives you to learn more? What is a hobby or skill not related to work or school that you can do really well? Why does that happen? Ever asked yourself these questions? More likely than not, a secret force sparked by curiosity took you "there", and maybe that force is interest. In this episode, we take a look at the early observations by educators and theorists about the role of interest in our learning process. SOURCES Dinçer, S. (2020).
