Now some people misunderstand this idea, and they’ll say it’s not the role of the regulator to train a company’s employees. And I agree, but that’s not the idea. There has to be a better way, and as I explain in the video below, I propose the accreditation of compliance training with open badges as the solution.

Instead, I found everyone already on board with contemporary ideas. Yet I saw little evidence of anyone having actioned these ideas. Not to introduce innovative ideas, but to make them happen. Terms such as “flipped classes” and “microlearning” emerged unprompted in my conversations with them.

Just as we were gearing up for another year’s worth of cutting edge insights and showcases, the coronavirus had other ideas. Let’s try that again. While some of the digital learning conferences I had listed for 2020 went ahead as planned, others pivoted to virtual delivery, while the rest were ironically postponed or cancelled.

My idea of AR is what Escape the Room: AR does: place virtual puzzles in a real room. While we’re in the interactive entertainment space, another concept evolving with AR technology is the escape room. One app billing itself as an augmented reality escape room is Scriptum , but it looks more like VR to me.

I call these “certification badges” However I maintain a stronger implementation of the idea emerges when we earn the badge by successfully executing a task (or a suite of tasks). Some badges such as the ones that are popular among IT geeks are earned by completing a training program or by passing an exam.

I’ve lost count of the number of times an apparently unattractive session has turned out to be excellent, or it’s sparked a useful tangential idea. The fire hydrant of ideas is too much for the human brain to handle, so you need to distribute your cognition. Remember you’ve invested time and money into these days.
