Yesterday I created a screen cast on LinkedIn for Finding Expertise. Today, I saw a post on our Free - Web 2.0 for Learning Professionals where someone said: I am currently trying to find a SME experienced with Moodle (a CMS/LMS) and WizIQ (synchronous web class technology).

On the other hand, researchers and others have weighed in against them, saying that expertise is the only lever. There is significant evidence that expertise matters in successful approaches to problem-solving, and others. However, what if you’re in a new domain where you don’t have relevant expertise to hand?

It needs to unpack the expertise; it can’t be just the knowledge, but what the thinking behind it is. The expertise that experts don’t have access to! Similarly, in Cognitive Apprenticeship, instructors model the desired performance. And I do try to share my thinking. However, I may not have been doing it properly.

This isn’t an area of my expertise, I admit. One of the things we’re wrestling with is how and when to break things up into smaller chunks. To be clear, this is about whether to put it into a separate entity , rather than how to segment within an entity. My initial reaction is that this is about curriculum.

I wrote about how I was frustrated with the lack of any decent learning expertise in too many vendors. The problem is whether their learning expertise is shallow or deep. you need real expertise. And, lately I’ve been seeing more orgs making learning claims. Unrelated, of course, because it’s too soon.

They might have valid opinions, but their expertise wasn’t a basis for deciding. Asking opinions, even of experts, isn’t quite as good. And these weren’t experts, they were just a collection of instructors. Worse, the folks conducting the study had. Sorry, that’s not an unbiased observer.

It’s actually undermining your goals for increasing expertise, effectiveness and productivity. That’s why we invest in learning: training or elearning. If elearning doesn’t make an impact , who cares how accessible or affordable is seems? Too much of what is done under this umbrella isn’t sufficient.

And interactive quizzes, without models and examples, would be a slow way to develop expertise. A how-to guide, aka performance support, might yield an outcome, but it doesn’t guarantee learning. There are lots of factors that would influence that. Another problem is in the separation of the elements.

We compile away our expertise as we develop it. In fact, research says that 70% of what experts do (and that’s us, in our areas of expertise) isn’t accessible. And, of course, practice that gradually develops the expertise in appropriate sized chunks and spacing between. So what am I unconsciously missing?

For one, expertise is compiled away, and isn’t accessible. Another contributor, I suggest, is that a belief that if we can perform, we can teach. We can, therefore, take the best performer, and turn them into a trainer. Which is mistaken for a couple of reasons. It’s also a mistake to think that just anyone can teach.

Abandon all the science, because you’re unlikely to get it right in a domain that’s not your expertise. So, if you do want to go against what the scientists or reliable interpreters tell you, don’t do it piecemeal. If anyone is telling you contrary to what’s known, question their motives!
