#IDIODC Instructional Designers In Offices Drinking Coffee

Clark Aldrich is a legend in corporate training simulations and games for learning.  And one of the few experts who can seamlessly move between corporate training issues, academia, and government concerns related to education and learning.  And as far as I know, one of the only training professionals to be quoted by a former US President.Clark Aldrich is an American author and practitioner in the field of educational and serious games for education and professional skills. He has been the lead designer for several educational simulations, including SimuLearn's Virtual Leader, which won best online training product of the year in 2004 by Training Media Review and the American Society for Training and Development's T+D Magazine - the first game-like product to win.His published research, beginning in 1999, outlined the failure of formal education approaches to teach leadership, innovation, and other strategic skills, and then advocated interactive experiences borrowing techniques from current computer games as media to fill these gaps. He argues that computer games represent new, "post-linear" models for capturing and representing content, but that new computer game genres will have to be created, optimized for learning as well as entertainment. His research and simulation design work, which he conducted outside of the influence and prescription of academic and grant-giving institutions, resulted in a series of articles, speeches, and 5 books. Become virtual friends with the IDIODC gang on twitter.

Do you train like an improvisational jazz musician or more like the first chair violinist of a symphony orchestra following the music as written?There is no right or wrong answer to that question but the analogy does reflect what experienced trainers in the classroom understand that many instructional designers do not.  When designing and planning instruction there is a spectrum of flexibility given by designers to those delivering the instruction. As our guest Jonathan Halls has told me, it's an old conversation but one worth having again. Jonathan is the author of Confessions of Corporate Trainer and joining us for this topic and others that he highlights in his book.Jonathan Halls is the guy with an accent who can’t stop asking questions about talent development. You’ll hear him talking about talent professionals as organizational superheroes, although he secretly worries that we’re not doing all we can to truly help people transform organizations.  You’ll also hear him predicting tomorrow’s trainers will be as much media producers as a classroom facilitators.The former BBC learning executive and author of 5 books runs workshops, speaks at conferences, and helps organizations in the areas of evidence-informed learning facilitation, digital learning content, and talent development strategy. Having worked in 25 countries, his first 20 years’ experience were focused on media training and digital transformation in TV and newspapers. His last decade broadened into all sectors including retail, finance, manufacturing, government and non-profit.Jonathan has worked as a trainer, training manager and head of a multimillion dollar training operation.  This vantage point has him as excited about the future of talent development as he is cynical.  He is author of Confessions of a Corporate Trainer  (2019), Rapid Video Development for Trainers  (2012), Rapid Media Development for Trainers  (2016), Video Script Writing  (2014), and Memory & Cognition in Learning  (2014).  He has both a masters and bachelors in adult learning.  Before working full-time in talent development, he earned his bread and butter as a journalist, corporate communications manager, and talk show host, but not in that order.

Experienced Learning Engineer Jodi Lis discusses scalability and standardization in L&D. Topics include enhancing healthcare worker performance in Africa, bridging instructional design and learning engineering, and scaling up technology projects. The podcast also explores the efforts to define the role of a learning engineer and establish standards within the industry.

Guy Wallace is our guest this week. He's an experienced L&D professional sharing his successful process in "Conducting performance-based Instructional Analysis".  His latest book presents a "how to" approach to his ISD efforts using methods first learned in 1979 and has been using in consulting gigs since 1982. His approach is "framed" as: MCD - Modular Curriculum Development/Acquisition. He uses it for detailed project planning - and mostly "fixed-fee" pricing. It was first published in the late 1980s in his firm's quarterly newsletter.We're really excited to have him sharing his knowledge and framework with the IDIODC community.  Brought to you by the dominKnow | ONE Platform - develop, manage, and distribute impactful L&D content – efficiently, at scale.

The neuroscience of learning is always a hot topic.  But in this episode we're going to cover more than just learning.  The COVID19 pandemic has created challenges few could imagine. Under normal circumstances change is hard for individuals, organizations, and cultures. But in 2020, we're struggling to adapt, collaborate, and learn, while the unstable world continues to spin around us. We are lucky to have Britt Andreatta as our guest to help us make sense of what is happening within each of us, and collectively within our organizations.  We'll discuss incorporating brain science into the pivots that are occurring in learning design/ delivery due to workplace changes in the era of COVID19.  Dr. Britt Andreatta is an internationally-recognized thought leader who creates brain science-based solutions for today's challenges.
