It’s helpful for people to know if an article is pertinent to them but by no means is it necessary to lock out access to an entire tier of articles.

So, while it may help you cover a great deal of information efficiently, information is often not the answer though. If it helps you get on the right path and simplify the solution to what’s really needed, then they’re great. Flowcharts, those are a whole different thing though! What do you think of frameworks?

One of the easiest things to do is assume that crowdsourcing is the answer to all your problems and people are going to be begging to help you solve your big problem. A lot of money and time has to be invested to make sure the crowd will even be interested in helping. This all comes at a huge cost though. It’s Not That Easy.

To help you make things as good as possible for the users/stakeholders, telling their story is a must. Creating a user story or even a persona will help you do the best job possible for them. Your only job is to keep the stakeholders (users) at the top of your mind and work with the business partner and SME to make it happen.

What role can data play in helping people overcome #LHoL? How do we help people not return to old ways of thinking and “doing” learning? What are the short-term and long-term effects of #LHoL in the workplace? What can organizations do to combat learned helplessness of learning in the workplace?

Wanting to learn and helping employees be curious and interested in learning is what creates a learning culture. What have you done for someone to help foster a learning culture at your organization? Required training is the opposite of what creates a learning culture.

Managers regularly talk with employees and hopefully have a good idea what their pain points are and what is going to help them in their job the best. Do you think this would help transition an organization from a training culture to a learning culture? I think it would.

The day before (or morning of) Thanksgiving I got the idea of helping people create a personal brand website. I want to help people create a website like mine which can be used in conjunction with social media to promote their personal brand. I’ve been happy with the Udemy tools to create the course.

My favorite person to follow that writes regularly on PKM is Harold Jarche , he runs workshops that help people get a handle on their professional improvement through PKM. It’s not a bad thing to have a quick gut filter, in fact it helps us find something worth our while faster and be able to spend more time on that.

Every time I hear this statement I can’t help but thing how great minds absolutely do not think alike. Everybody’s heard this phrase right? I know I hear it on almost a daily basis. Everybody is different, including in their thoughts.

I feel like it fits into the part of people wanting to help themselves and find the answers to their problems though. While I know courses aren’t the answer for a lot of things, there still is a place for them. As far as it goes with Learned Helplessness of Learning, I’m not sure how it fits in.

I hear the statement “great minds think alike” and I can’t help but cringe. There’s nothing worse that I can see for an organization than it becoming one big group think. Great minds absolutely do not think alike, that’s what makes them great, uniqueness.

Once you’ve written a brief outline, it may be helpful to write a short sentence on what you think should go into each topic. Once you’ve done this then you most likely have your idea in a draft post already or in an Evernote note. It can work into your current process. I did this process for this article and it worked out great.

I didn’t make that number last year although making small steps towards it has helped me get there. As I was trying to gain traction with mobile help overlays in my organization, I also was thinking about their importance in the overall L&D community. Really they should have been separated to begin with though.

If you don’t have one, check out my course for help on building one. It may seem odd then to have started a consulting position to help a higher education program build their social presence and expand their program. Have you helped build a presence of a newly expanding higher education program or something similar?

Sitting on an idea like you own it has never helped anybody meet a greater goal. Amazing things happen when you inadvertently realize why you think what you think, and only others can help you reach those ideas. The human race is a cooperative race and its allowed us to do great things. We Give, We Receive.

All of these activities are helping a program that already has a tremendous reputation, and it’s doing it in an authentic way. All content that’s been developed has been original, and more importantly helpful to the community. Growing an Instructional Design program at a major university is not an easy task.

So that’s it, if somebody never has to even take training and is able to either search out the information they need from others or find a job aid that will help them, that’s motivating. Hopefully you’ve already ruled out a system problem or some other problem that training can’t fix.

No one department can own learning or helping employees improve their careers through learning. The goal of many (should be all) organization is to have a learning culture where employees seek learning and improving themselves on their own. A learning culture comes from a wider organization though, never from a single department.
