Late to #LearnChat, but here I am. :)

Woot. Looking forward to this chat next week.

Just out! eBook on free tools for #instructionaldesigners. With contributions from people like @tracyparish.bsky.social @kqlnd.bsky.social @christytucker.bsky.social @susimiller1.bsky.social @nickfloro.bsky.social @andrewjacobslnd.bsky.social & more! www.learningguild.com/publications... #ID #LnD

Watch for @kpagano.bsky.social 's new book on skills coming this fall. #learnchat Meantime, he's something from her: www.learningguild.com/insights/308...

Thank you so much for being here tonight. We really appreciate it. Make sure you let us know when that book comes out! #LearnChat

We've got a great conference coming up June 12 & 13, 2025 (Toronto). The Canadian eLearning Conferece will be celebrating it's 14th year. We've got a great line up of workshops and sessions to attend. More info and registration can be found here: canadianelearning.ca #LearnChat #cdnelearning

#learnchat A6) My next book is going to be on building expertise in the age of AI - it's really NOT about every skill you have, but what you're particularly good at. As work changes with AI, this is going to be even more important. (Yes, I know, my skills book hasn't even come out yet...)

I think if you can develop a good mentorship program is one way for an employee get feedback and inspiration on where they want to develop further. I've seen it done once in a great case study where the mentorship program lasted for at least a year. #LearnChat

#learnchat A4) Written and verbal communication are often looked at outside of work contexts, but as a leader, someone who can clearly articulate a problem, potential solutions, their recommendation and impact is priceless. Getting specific with tasks and success metrics is key

I see them trying to use Personal Development Plans, and 360 assessments, and mapping competencies to org values. None of which I think do a good job of acually identifying and development transferable skills. Seem like "oh this tool will help us do it" "no maybe this one" #LearnChat

Ahhhh. So just because you know how a hammer works doesn't mean you can actually hit a nail. #LearnChat

I wish I had thought of this years ago when I was actually collecting/developing lots of skills. I suppose at one point I had more of an online portfolio that I could reference and see a knowledge shift in. #LearnChat

Make sure if you are using deck.blue and have a column set to filter for #LearnChat that you click the Gear/Settings in the upper right corner of the column. You can change the refresh rate to 15s - default is 5 min.

Just like when I pick up my phone to look at the weather for tomorrow and immediately search instead for "100 ways to make mash potatoes". #LearnChat

That is all too true. Speaking of.... I learned this week that if my Storyline course is only sending 2 questions to the LMS chances are I FORGOT TO ENSURE ALL QUESTIONS were ticked off on the results slide. LOL #learnchat

Hello #LearnChat Hope you are well. Glad to be here tonight to learn from you all.

I use deck.blue. I find it extremely helpful for following the chat. It's similar to the Tweetdeck. Just make sure you are following #LearnChat or the official #LearnChat feed - buff.ly/3ZM2XJx

#LearnChat tonight (Tuesday 8 April)! Topic: "Skills". Join @tracyparish.bsky.social , @lnddave.bsky.social and @janebozarth.bsky.social along with guest @kpagano.bsky.social . See you at 8 pm ET, 5 pm PT.

Looking forward to having Koreen Pagano join us for this chat.

Good to see everyone! Here’s my new report, just out at www.learningguild.com/insights/315.... #learnchat

a6) Take some time to learn who your audience is and create characters that resonate with them directly. (job, roles, backgrounds, etc. #LearnChat

Focusing on intent. I have a story about getting laid off. Naturally, I was angry, but it led to much learning for me. So, what do I want the listener to feel - my anger or my joy? If it's joy, I need to edit the bad stuff and keep the good. Your intent is not to tell a story. It's to move them.

Q6) Find your critical 20% and build your story around that. What will people USE? #learnchat

A6) When it comes to using stories for L&D, don't start by creating a story; put your efforts in finding the right story. IYKYK #LearnChat

@hadiyanuriddin.bsky.social Question for you master storyteller. How do you know if the story is too much/too good that it takes from the learning? (my memory last year was very bad, but... I remember your story about the paperbag at our conf. but not what it was you taught us about it). #LearnChat

Very late to tonight's #LearnChat party.

#LearnChat is back tomorrow night! Tuesday MARCH 11 at 8:00 PM Eastern/5 pm Pacific. This month's chat: Let’s explore how storytelling enhances learning experiences! See you soon--

Modeling intentional curiosity in my own learning and work. #LearnChat

Shameless plug: SPEAKING OF TEMPLATES and the like, here. My fab ID book has been reissued, and there's now a new installment -"Create Incluslive Learning for All". Lots of application, less pontificatin'. Check them out blog.insynctraining.com/inclusive-le... #learnchat

Q5) Gamification and storytelling are said to boost motivation. What are your experiences with these strategies? #LearnChat

Hey #LearnChat what did I miss. Quick someone pull out some AI tool and summarize the last 20 minutes for me. :)

#LearnChat tonight Tuesday 4 February! Join us to talk about "The Science of Motivation in Learning". 8 pm ET, 5 pm PT. See you soon!

If you need some health resources and can’t find them where you used it find them on the internet you can try the Public Health Agency of Canada’s website. www.canada.ca/en/public-he... The Public Health Agency of Canada is part of the federal health portfolio.

BEST NEW FONT!!! I'm using it on all my new course design work. Heck I'm going to use it everywhere. It's the font we all have been waiting for! #Cheetos #OtherHandFont www.cheetos.com/otherhand www.youtube.com/watch?v=6olc...

“An overwhelming majority of teens – 94% – say schools should be required to teach media literacy. And students with some form of media literacy lessons are more likely to fact-check before posting to social media, push back against misinformation when they see it and seek out reliable news.”

Attn #learnchat - ters! See you Tuesday Feb 4 at 8 pm EDT!

For this week I am giving back this amazing paper by @djabaudon.bsky.social shared by @kdneuro.bsky.social Spatial patterns of development of related cell types. It was like reading a paper about Galapagos finches. www.nature.com/articles/s41... #neuroskyence

Need to duck out early and beat the snowfall home. Cheers Everyone. #LearnChat

And if you scroll to the bottom you can adjust the refresh rate. #LearnChat

Q3) OH LOOK THERE'S A FRAMEWORK FOR THAT www.learningguild.com/articles/101... #Wenger #NoVanityMetrics #LearnChat

Make yourself one of these mini bookshelves for all the books you read. See if you can fill it by the end of the year. #LearnChat

Q2: How do you plan to align learning goals with evolving workplace needs or societal trends this year? #LearnChat

Great idea. I'm adding that to my To Dos. #LearnChat

Q1) My focus this year is to improve and expand upon my knowledge of accessibility and universal design. But I want to improve this knowledge more widely then just with an elearning lens. #LearnChat

Do you mean deck.blue? It's useful for keeping up with #LearnChat

Great to have a fellow Ontarian here tonight. #LearnChat

Hello #LearnChat. Good to see you again. Looking forward to some inspiration tonight as I try to get myself backing into a frame of mind of wanting to learn. I've been working on a course tonight on "Accessibility: How to Design for All" It's more web/mobile focused, but I'm finding it useful.

See you there. #LearnChat
