I recently read a blog post by Janet Clarey highlighting the need to go back to the basics. These 'basics' are different for everyone. But like all subjects and bodies of knowledge, there are a few foundational concepts that have been identified and acknowledged as such. Without knowing and understanding these basics, we can't claim to be successfully practicing our subject - the subject of instructional design. good place to start with the basics and then continue learning. | DESIGNED FOR LEARNING OCTOBER 31, 2009  Transfer of Learning - Theories and Implications Transfer of learning is the goal of all training and learning interventions. We know that the often the learning context is different from the context of real-life application. However, the training objective is not achieved until the learning transfers from one to context to another. So, what is it that makes learning 'stick' and allows learners to use the learning immediately and in the future? | | | | | |
| DESIGNED FOR LEARNING OCTOBER 4, 2009 The Importance of Reflective Practices I read somewhere that "Reflection is a key to improvement as an educator." So often, we have read and spoken about experiential learning, learning-by-doing, task-based learning etc. However, what is it that really converts this experience into learning? For the uninitiated, it is Reflection. Without getting into semantics and/or an instructional definition; simply speaking, reflection is an image - a mirror image - that we can see of ourselves and other things around us. Extending this to learning experiences, reflection is the act of looking into (at) yourself and your learning experiences. | DESIGNED FOR LEARNING SEPTEMBER 24, 2009  What's So About Learning Objectives I often find myself thinking about learning objectives. Having gone through extensive research, documentation, and training on how to write SMART learning objectives, I am made to believe, they are important. But I am questioning. How often have you found formal classroom or online training start with a bulletined list of learning objectives? Almost always.right? actually motivate anyone? | DESIGNED FOR LEARNING JUNE 23, 2009 Asking the right questions A Zen saying goes like this - "Only the crystal-clear question yields a transparent answer". The importance and value of asking the right question has been established by many. What is a right question one may ask? Well, I believe that the right question has an answer that opens our eyes to better understanding and greater knowledge. right question is also one that is asked at the right time. But I have a question. Are we giving our learners the opportunity to ask the right questions within the training that we develop for them? | DESIGNED FOR LEARNING JULY 24, 2010 Is Blogging Dying?

DESIGNED FOR LEARNING | THURSDAY, DECEMBER 31, 2009  The Big Question - What I Learned About Learning in 2009
December’s Big Question at the Learning Circuits blog is “What did you learn about learning in 2009”. This year has been interesting and eventful for me. have had many new things to learn and some things to unlearn. If I had to identify one key take-away, it would have to be my own learning about social learning and networking. realized the power of this by joining twitter and building my own Personal Learning Environment (PLE). Twitter has opened a new platform for me where I am meeting with and interacting with people on all things learning using only a few words. MORE >> -
DESIGNED FOR LEARNING | SUNDAY, DECEMBER 20, 2009 The Value of Training - Perception is Reality
One of the most popular models of training evaluation has been proposed by Donald Kirkpatrick. In simplified terms, as per this model, training can be evaluated at four levels - 1-Reaction, 2- Learning, 3- Behaviour, and 4-Results. Many training evaluation forms and feedback surveys have been designed based on this model. While levels - 1-Reaction and 2- Learning are relatively easier to measure, as we move along the higher levels of evaluation, things do get difficult. Recently, a fifth level is being suggested: 5-ROI (Return on Investment). All of this is good. MORE >> -
DESIGNED FOR LEARNING | MONDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 2009 Taking Notes - The Right Way
I was attending the LearnTrends webinars last week when I realized (yet another time), the importance of good note-taking. People take notes for various reasons. usually take notes to refer to them later either to schedule further events/meetings/to-dos or to learn from and reflect on things that were discussed. Whatever your reasons may be, taking notes the right way is a skill that needs to be mastered. If you aren’t listening carefully, you can't take good notes. Practice active listening. use bullets, sub-bullets and identify the main and the supporting ideas. MORE >>
