Now I realise that I severely underestimated the level of support that my colleagues seek in relation to their learning and development. It’s a tool we can use to be proactive.

The fact that Ingress was developed by Google’s internal startup, Niantic Labs, is enlightening (excuse the pun).

It facilitates pull learning at the convenience and discretion of the learner, and moreover it supports on-the-job learning just in time. Its primary focus is not on training, but on performance support. This is constructivist design. Having said that, I am the first to agree that sometimes training is necessary.

Consequently, I envisage L&D professionals playing important roles in both curating and supporting MOOCs for their colleagues. In terms of the former, it’s important that the right MOOC be connected to the right employee so that it’s relevant to their performance on the job.

This relieves the L&D professional from developing and managing content over which they have no authority. Allow me to elaborate… The role of the learner. The role of the manager. Change management.

If humans are gregarious beings and learning is social, how can face-to-face instruction possibly fail to out perform its online equivalent? Consequently the strong performance of online students becomes less mysterious. It is only natural for evangelists to seize upon evidence that furthers their cause. But these results mystified me.

My short answer is “yes and no&# – which I will explain – but for the moment please read Anne Marie’s idea for yourself… In the last few weeks I’ve been thinking about how we can support the learning that takes place when medical students are on placement. I certainly support the idea of staff profiles.

Shorter content is quicker to develop, and single files like MP4s are easy to produce. The argument is that workers these days are busy professionals with the attention span of a juvenile gnat, so anything longer than a few minutes won’t be effective. I don’t buy it, but I am in the minority.
