#IDIODC Instructional Designers In Offices Drinking Coffee

Now that you've been forced to train online for 2 months, you're probably wondering how to up your vILT (or virtual instructor led training) game. There are only a handful of virtual instructor-led training professionals I trust, because they've been doing it since long before the global pandemic. Karen Hyder is one of those professionals. She understands the technology, as well as the subtle, and no so subtle, tips for engaging your attendees. vILT is NOT the same as training in the classroom, as you've now likely discovered.  Join us to discuss some of the common mistakes new virtual trainers make and the tips to improving your online training sessions."My goal is to teach those who are delivering training content online in a synchronous virtual classroom technology how to do it effectively. I've been working with trainers, subject-matter-experts, teachers, trainers, authors, accountants, sales staff, tech wonks and all of their learners for over 17 years. Their online learning sessions are highly interactive. Participants ACTUALLY participate. The benefits of using the technology are numerous. It's cheap, especially when compared to physical classroom, (incl. travel expenses, classroom space, etc.), it's accessible to anyone with a computer and internet connection and it's efficient." - Karen HyderBecome virtual friends with the IDIODC gang on twitter.

With many organizations finally taking online learning seriously, we're hearing this question a lot: "How Long Will it Take to create this eLearning". And sometimes it's asked this way, "How much does it cost based on how much time is required by the employee".   The numbers are often debated but it's important to figure out these details in order to be successful in your career. Christy Tucker is a learning experience design consultant who has reviewed the most popular research and benchmarks on the topic. We'll be talking with her about what's she discovered and how she's adapted these numbers to reflect her own design and development experience. Join us and learn how you can use them too! Christy a learning experience design consultant who develops engaging e-learning that makes a difference in how people do their jobs.

Master story designer Rance Greene shares his powerful process to discover, design, and deliver instructional stories. Chris and Brent will talk with Rance about how to unearth the root of the performance problem, create action lists for learners, and convince stakeholders of stories’ effectiveness. This conversation will introduce you to developing an ability to take full advantage of story’s power and build training that intellectually and emotionally connects with your audience. Best of all, your training will prepare and motivate your audience for action. Rance Greene has always loved a good story. His work as an actor, choreographer, visual artist, playwright, teacher and speaker revolved around creating and delivering the right story for his audience.

In this month's segment we will help instructional designers improve their craft by SEEING their projects differently. By thinking visually about the content you are creating you become a better instructional designer. Kevin Thorn shows us his process for breaking down images and objects into a combination of simple shapes. And then building your own objects and visuals that support your content by simply reversing the process. It all starts with simple shapes. And even if you think you can't draw, Kevin will help you change your mind and give you the confidence to be the visual thinker your projects need you to be. Kevin is an award-winning eLearning designer & developer, consultant, and owner of NuggetHead Studioz, LLC., a boutique custom design and development studio specializing in online learning experiences. NuggetHead Studioz, LLC: https://nuggethead.net After retiring from the US Army, Kevin pursued a career in corporate IT and Training & Development.

We've had a chance to talk with many instructional designers on IDIODC over the last 2 years. And most instructional designers are "ALL IN" on the trend in design thinking. But what if I told you the trend is actually not even a thing to be trending? This week we're talking with a UX/UI expert who specializes in improving the customer experience. She has a few strong opinions about design thinking and why it's not a thing. And if we look at our work as training professionals, we can see how building online eLearning experiences could benefit from a UX designers experience. Join us for what's sure to be a fun conversation about instructional design, customer experience, user experience, and design thinking. This is one episode you do not want to miss. Debbie Levitt, CXO of Delta CX, has been a CX and UX strategist, designer, and trainer since the 1990s. As a “serial contractor” who lived in the Bay Area for most of this decade, Debbie has influenced interfaces at Sony, Wells Fargo, Constant Contact, Macys.com, Oracle, and a variety of Silicon Valley startups. Clients have given her the nickname, “Mary Poppins,” because she flies in, improves everything she can, sings a few songs, and flies away to her next adventure. Debbie has presented at conferences including eBay’s Developer Conference, PayPal’s Developer Conference, UXPA, and WeAreDevelopers. She is an O’Reilly published author and one of few instructors on the planet recommended by Axure. Her “DevOps ICU” book and training teach non-CX roles about CX, why it’s done by specialists, and how to integrate it into teams and processes. Her “Delta CX” book and training teach companies how to improve customer satisfaction, predict and mitigate business risk, and increase ROI by investing in great customer experiences. Outside of CX work, and sometimes during CX work, Debbie enjoys singing symphonic prog goth metal, opera, and New Wave.  Get more from Debbie on her website! https://debbielevitt.com/ Become virtual friends with the IDIODC gang on twitter.

With the average shelf life of an employee’s skills at less than five years, it is imperative that organizations support their employees in staying current in new and emerging skills and in learning how to learn. Learning management systems, once seen as a one-size-fits all learning solution, have not effectively kept pace with wider technology development, and the needs and expectations of workplace learning. Moreover, organizations tend to have too narrow a view when considering the elements that affect learning at their organization. An ecological and holistic approach is needed to improve learning environments and to future-proof these environments for new developments in education and technology. Join us for a conversation with Derek Redmond about Learning Ecosystems. Derek is an Instructional Designer & Educational Technologies Specialist at PointClickCare with over 7 years in the industry. Previous to PointClickCare, Derek worked for the Baycrest Centre for Learning, Research and Innovation in Long-Term Care and Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences.
