Learning Uncut

"As learning designers we so often want to push our content, and maybe all we need is some data to help facilitate the conversations." "Using data isn't about FOMO, it is about solving a problem and you can get overwhelmed with data. So know what you want to collect otherwise you'll have too much, and you won't be able to make sense of it." In this episode, Clay Shearan from Woolworths Group and Josh Humphries from Guroo Producer share a case study full of data-driven learning, innovation, risk-taking, dynamic dashboards, and blended learning – all of which they achieved within a three week project timeline!

"Curation means very different things to a lot of people. Curation is really the art of bringing together different learning assets or resources, to create meaning for people, and for people to find the meaning in that for themselves. If you think about how we traditionally have done things in the past, it's really around creation, getting people from point A to point B, very instructional. Curation is very different to that; how do you bring together multiple points of view, potentially opposing points of view in order for people to find meaning?" In this episode, Wes Tobin shares his team's curation journey at Westpac and how listening to what learners want and giving instructional designers more freedom is changing the way their organisation learns.

Conferences are a substantial investment of time and money. However, as our guests Emma Weber and JD Dillon assert, they can be extremely valuable for professional development. We chat with Emma and JD about how they think about conferences and what they do before, during and after a conference to get the most out of the event that they can. Listen out for the similarities and differences in their approach and figure out what will work best for you. If you are interested in getting started with speaking at conferences we encourage you to be brave and give it a go. After all, Learning Uncut is all about sharing stories and conferences are a great forum to do this. Emma and JD provide tips for preparing conference submissions to help get you started.

Over the past two years Spark NZ has embarked on an ambitious transformation of learning in order to build a 'culture of performance.' . Their goal has been to 'democratise knowledge' and create a self-sustaining performance ecosystem. This is Part 2 of our discussion with Kerry Peguero and Liv Wilson from the Learning Enablement Team about their innovative approach. In Part 1 (Episode 30) we covered user-generated content and the use of an 'orienteering' approach to induction that builds self-directed learning behaviours. We recommend you listen to Part 1 first. Here in Part 2 we pull the strategy together by looking at their performance-focussed accreditation program and the technology platform they developed in-house because there wasn't an LMS on the market that could meet their needs. We also delve into the mindset shift that the learning team has made. Listen to both episodes to get the full picture of this contemporary approach that is shifting how learning happens and the role of learning professionals in the organisation.
