This episode is part of the Learning Uncut Disruption series. This pop-up daily series aims to equip learning professionals with practical guidance and tips to get started or scale up with practices needed as part of their organisational response to the global COVID-19 pandemic. Learning Uncut host, Michelle Ockers, reviews the Disruption series. She discusses the purpose of the series, range of episodes and key themes across the series. She also outlines the three phases she predicts learning professionals / teams will go through during this period of disruption – the fierce urgency of now, the innovative middle and the emergent future. The Disruption series was created to meet the needs of the first phase and the bridge into the second. Keep an eye out for another special Learning Uncut series in mid 2020 which will be called the Emergent series. It will cover practices and considerations to support learning professionals through the second phase and into the emergent future. A big thank you to all Disruption series guests for your willingness to participate. Also the highly responsive, professional Disruption series production team – Dave Stokes (editor) and Natalie DeBon-Govic (publishing).

In this engaging discussion, guest Dave Stokes, an audio and podcast producer from Author2Audio, interviews Michelle Ockers, who has two years of experience in podcasting. They delve into how podcasts can serve as powerful learning tools, especially during the pandemic. Michelle shares her journey in education, the significance of accessible learning, and practical tips for crafting quality podcasts. They also highlight the benefits of storytelling and diverse perspectives in learning, emphasizing the need to navigate challenges in delivering educational content.

David Broadhurst, the co-founder of Codesafe, is a construction industry veteran. He opens Ep 49 with a story from nine years ago about an incident where someone on site where he was supervisor was almost killed. He began searching for a better way to ensure that workers in high risk sectors actually understood safety critical information and worked safely. He created the Codesafe methodology which has captured the attention of safety bodies in Australia and been the subject of research by the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) to understand what makes the approach effective. Rae Grech is a health and safety manager who has a training background. In 2013 Rae engaged David's team to create video materials for high risk processes in ceiling insulation. Their work together resulted in significant systemic improvements in safety at the organisation. While easy to access content is part of the reason for this, the real driver is a participatory approach that engaged workers and unlocked their tacit knowledge.

Jane Bozarth has long advocated making work visible through a practice known as 'show your work.' Interestingly, a survey currently underway (as at March 2020) by the eLearning Guild indicates that 1/3 of US respondents are seeing an increased demand for demonstrating or sharing work processes as we come to grips with the impact of COVID-19. Jane shares a stack of examples that illustrate the value and wide range of formats of this practice. She makes suggestions as to how learning professionals can both role model and encourage other to show their work.

Nick Shackleton-Jones is the author of How People Learn. He developed the Affective Context Model as a general theory of how people learn. In this episode he discusses the role of emotions in learning, going so far as to suggest that emotion is the process behind learning. In a period of heightened emotion it's even more important to understand what matters to people – what their concerns really are. He strongly recommends avoiding content dumping and using resources rather than courses to respond to people's concerns.
