#IDIODC Instructional Designers In Offices Drinking Coffee

New tech requires new thinking. Old design models rarely translate successfully into new technology solutions. Instructional designers need something other than ADDIE if they are going to effectively design from new technologies like augmented reality. This week for IDIODC, Brent and Chris bring on special guest Debbie Richards to chat all about the new design model for augmented reality solutions: ADDEDD. Analyze, Determine, Design, Experience, Develop, and Deploy. We’ll break it down for you and help you feel confident finding the resources you need to design your first AR Learning Solution. Debbie is the president of Creative Interactive Ideas. And listed on the of E-learning Movers & Shakers for 2018.

The training industry has a legacy of creating events that take learners out of the context of their work. Over the years new technologies have disrupted that model. We now have the tools to educate and support learners while they work. Workflow Learning is a relatively new concept but has it's roots in performance support. There is also a significant element of microlearning in the mix. All of these concepts have come together as a new comprehensive solution that improves business outcomes. And that is why businesses are asking for it. This week Brent and Chris bring back returning guest Shannon Tipton for her second appearance on the show! We'll be talking about workflow learning and how it works. She'll go over some of her tips and tricks and examples of success stories using workflow learning. Shannon Tipton is CLO of Learning Rebels, an organization focused on improving business L&D through unique blended and microlearning training designs. She also is the author of her book "Disruptive Learning: Discover Your Inner Learning Rebel".

During this episode of IDIODC, Brent and Chris bring back on Bianca Baumann to chat about learner-centric styles of training. Similar to the first discussion with Bianca on staying relevant in today's age of technology (you can catch the recording of that conversation here: https://www.crowdcast.io/e/Engage-the-Modern-Learner-With-Bianca_Baumann), the gang discusses the core of what's important in our eLearning - ways to stay engaging and relevant. L&D professionals think they know what’s best for their learners, but do they? When was the last time we asked? When developing new training strategies, L&D professionals often assume what learners want and need. It could be based on a current performance issue, or because a new product or service is introduced. Whereas training might be the solution, maybe a short email would do. And even if training is needed, what should it look like? In her new eBook The Little Black Book of Marketing, Bianca describes ways of re-envisioning training strategies through the use of marketing techniques that are focused on the learner. Bianca, Chris and Brent will highlight: Use of training campaigns for learner-centric content Leveraging data points to uncover training needs Use of personas to understand the learners needs Bianca is a curious, self-driven and results-focused professional with 10+ years in the Education field. She is a consultant on learning solutions and leverage data to make learning stick, personalized and delivered just-in-time. Bianca has a mix of education, digital marketing and customer success experience. She's not one for the LMS, seat-time or the next button. Challenging the status quo, Bianca asks the tough questions in order to bring L&D into this century, leaving behind old learning styles that don't work.

Review cycles can make or break your project. In today's IDIODC our special guest Jacqueline Hutchinson will be talking with us about Review Cycles: What are they? Why are they important? And how to include them successfully into your project planning. Mastering your review cycles will lead to greater success during development but also after your course is launched. This can be especially important in compliance training and making sure courses and content do not become outdated and useless. You may still have some old Flash content sitting in your LMS. A proper review cycle can help you clean that up, and so much more.

This week Brent and Chris change it up, bringing on two special guests - Gus Prestera and Belen Bilgic-Schneider. Belen and Gus share stories from the instructional design trenches, where they have been able to transform content design into a search for meaning by leveraging the power of critical incidents, stories, examples, non-exemplars, conversations, artifacts, scenarios, and cases. In other words, by putting context ahead of all other concerns, including content, interactivity, and aesthetics, instructional designers can architect more meaning-FULL learning experiences for their audiences, packing a greater learning punch, reducing time-to-proficiency, and maximizing return on learning investments. Once you buy into the idea that Context should be in charge, next comes the question of how you change the dynamic with your subject matter experts and stakeholders. We’ll talk about simple content gathering techniques you can start using immediately. Gus Prestera is an organizational effectiveness consultant, educator, and coach. He supports innovative HR and business leaders who are transforming their workforce, making big changes to how they engage, manage and develop their people. He has over 20 years of human capital management experience. Through his consulting firm, Prestera FX, Gus and his team have helped change agents improve employee engagement, capabilities and performance in mid- to large-sized businesses, including AIG, Endo Pharmaceuticals, Johnson & Johnson, Main Line Health, Dialight, and Bristol-Myers Squibb. Gus holds a PhD in Education, with a minor in Management, and an MBA, frequently speaks at local and national industry events, and regularly facilitates skill-building workshops for HR and business leaders. He is an advisory board member for American University’s Human Resources Analytics and Management MS program and has taught graduate-level courses at Penn State University and American University. Learn more about Gus on his LinkedIn. https://www.linkedin.com/in/gusprestera/ Belen Schneider is a creative director and consultant, basing her work around communications, instructional design, performance and training projects, RFPs, multimedia production and more. Belen has been a Partner at RnD Interactive since 2009, a creative director and instructional designer at Prestera, and a self-employed consultant for interactive courseware and communications since 2012.

During this episode of IDIODC, the gang brings on special guest Tanya Seidel to chat inclusive design and accessibility. Inclusive design and ensuring courses are accessible to people with disabilities should not be an afterthought. With organizations like Microsoft putting a priority on inclusive design with all of their products, including their product packaging, a new bar is being set for expectations around accessibility and it's time for the e-learning community to follow suit. Historically, accessible e-learning has been categorized as having to be static and limited on engagement. It doesn't have to be! But, many of the rapid e-learning tools that are available today don't always make it easy on developers. So what can we do? Something is better than nothing, and even if you're not obligated to adhere to Section 508, you can take at least some steps to help make your courses accessible to people with disabilities. This session will focus on some of the easier things you can do in development that have a big impact on a course's accessibility. Tanya is the VP of Finance and Technology at Artisan E-Learning and has close to 15 years of experience in the e-learning industry. In addition to managing Artisan’s finance, technology, and marketing landscapes, she is involved in the development and delivery of e-learning courses for a variety of clients and is well-versed in accessibility (Section 508 and WCAG), usability, and responsive design. Tanya spent more than seven years working for Trivantis, the makers of Lectora. She has been involved in creating instructor-led and web-based training programs and materials, but also in leading the design and development of e-learning authoring software and Learning Management Systems.
