The shift has arrived, and video is King! You may or may not be shocked by this but not enough of us are creating video to help the people in our organizations. We, as educators in the Adult Learning world, have a responsibility to help our organizations move forward and we are not doing enough to practice this craft. The trend seems to be that we are aware video is important and critical, and we even admit that our end-users would probably prefer video to some of other learning methods used.

Complaints about Millennials in the workplace remind me of that adage attributed to Charles Dudley Warner, “Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.”. Likewise, many senior managers are quick to share their gripes about their younger co-workers. But too few stop and ask, “so what are we doing about it?”. I personally empathize with Millennial workers.

As a learning designer, when you're sending that early mock-up or first draft, be honest with yourself: is what you're actually looking for sign-off rather than collaboration? Perhaps up to that point, you've already put a good chunk of work in and it might even mess your schedules up if the other person asks you to rip it up and start again. Collaboration requires an open mind and a step into the unpredictable, but the results can be content that’s higher quality and more innovative.
