It can help learners relax, trust that the environment’s safe, reducing anxiety. I’ve done so in content we developed for a client, and am doing so again in a demo we’re creating. It might also set the tone for the learning. I suggest this is easy to create, easy to develop, quick, engaging for the learners, and effective.

Florence shared that synchronous tools shouldn’t be required in asynchronous learning environments, and only to use for optional activities. She also recommended only using social media for learner-centered reasons (I’d amend: for learn ing -centered reasons). Such activities would include Q/A sessions and office hours.

Learning should be continual and ubiquitous, not sent off to separate environs. What folks really mean by a corp uni is a training academy, but a uni isn’t a good model. Instead of deep theory with little practical application, it’s almost the reverse.

Thus, while it was and is a fabulous modeling environment (still in use in a variety of markets), it didn’t take over the world.

When we have people working together, it helps if it’s the right people and the right environment. Similarly, it needs to be psychologically safe to contribute, the environment helps to be open, and there needs to be time for reflection. First, we need to make sure we have the right constraints.

What I’d add now would be a rubric to compare your answer to the model answer, to support self-evaluation.

Typical innovation is ‘within the box’ This comes from having an environment where people can experiment, share, be exposed to new ideas, and allowing it to incubate (ferment/percolate) over time.

Starting with learning, we transition from a competitive environment, (which is unhealthy), through being willing to cooperate (say for team projects), to where we’re collaborating of our own initiative, ending up where we’re working to also improve our processes as well as our outcomes.

That is, we too often are reigned in to the mundane, and I think whether it’s taking it a little bit more extreme or jumping off into a fantasy setting (which are similar, really), we bring the learning experience closer to the emotion of the performance environment (when it matters).
