So the second category is about interacting with others. And email, of course (using the Mac Mail client) is a major way I learn, e.g. blogs appear there, and it’s a major way I interact. And that this leads to better comprehension (I avoid bullet points in live presos, and save them for handouts). Anyone got that data?

Bias has been a problem in human interactions, and records thereof can also therefore have bias. For instance, owing to the prevalence of the learning styles myth (despite the research), the AI can write about L&D and mention styles as a necessary consideration.

You use libraries to add graphics & interactions. Here’re some signs that your elearning might not be working: Your learning unit develops courses on demand. You work from PDFs and PPTs to develop your course. You have a knowledge quiz at the end. Your learners avoid the courses. You track completion.

Yet, if we don’t separate out interactivity separate from consumption, we can make nonsensical learning interactions instead of meaningful applications of concepts to contexts. For principled and practical reasons, I think we want to distinguish between content (concepts and examples) and interactives (practice).

I don’t always pick up on the subtleties of human interaction. They may not be correct, but I’m willing to acknowledge that it’s probably true. So, I guess I want to say I am not diplomatic, but do care. So, I can be a little obtuse. We’d come out and they’d ask me “what did you see?

I then wondered about how they interacted. For Learning, it’s about blending learning across a variety of elements: technologies, interaction methodologies, etc, to support successful outcomes. I have, in the past, talked about the three cognitions: situated , distributed , and social.

You can interact virtually for planned work, but it helps to interact F2F when getting to know one another, and when you’re looking for serendipitous interactions. This seems the opposite of most visions of work: work away from the office, interact in the office, instead of the reverse. social strategy'

Look, mobile hasn’t gone away, and we’re possibly using mobile tools more now even though we’re not on the road! So mobile’s still relevant, and the mindset behind ‘thinking mobile’ is even more relevant.

I’m finding LinkedIn to be more of an interaction location lately, as well, though it’s also become a bit spammy. The latter is closer to twitter, but I’m not yet really seeing my ‘tribe’ there. I am posting these to both (I think). sideeffects? I also won’t go on Threads or TikTok.

And it’s the interactions that matter. For instance, flight errors are hopefully rare (the systems are robust), typically involve complex situations (the interactions between the systems mean engines affect flight controls), and have big consequences! Otherwise, you’re going to want lot of training.

Interactions between the L&D Team and Employees. Not just any interactions. But ultimately, the community should be interacting with each other, not L&D. Have a policy, be clear, and do it when it makes sense. This would be a subset of a more general principle about stimulating and leveraging the community, I reckon.

And then there are special pages, the ones where you can interact. And, of course, these interactions are the critical point for learning. I reasoned that the interactions should represent things we do in the real world. And these are all done through typical interactions like drag, drop, click, and more.

The latter means not only developing individual (and group) ability to interact constructively, but to facilitate useful interactions of all sorts. What’s involved is not only to support training when it needs to be ‘in the head’, but using performance support when we can. And here’s the rub.

They’re very much oriented towards particular modes, instead of supporting really rich interaction. Finally, I think that our collaboration tools haven’t lived up to the promise of technology. This, too, is more long term, but we really should be able to talk together while working to create representations that capture our evolving thinking.

Emergent means having to interact with something unpredictable and perhaps even reactive. It could be interacting with systems, or it could be interpersonal interaction. They may be good, but what can happen when people interact with each other, and rich systems, allows for more self discovery and ownership.

Any intervention won’t reflect how things are done unless interactions occur. And, done right, they inherently require engagement and interaction. Moreover, we also know that the best solutions come from creative friction , people interacting. And that’s the point. Communication and collaboration is key!

The question is, what does this mean for the outcomes of the interaction, rather than the interaction itself? What I can say is that when we couple the more immediate experience of a tablet with the power of digital interaction, we’re moving into area that has real potential to accelerate the learning experience.

(I’ll suggest that listening to audio, whether canned or a conversation, isn’t quite the same, the mobile device is a vehicle, not the main source of interaction.)

We need to facilitate the formation of work teams, and make sure that this process of interaction is provided with just the right amount of friction. Just like a tire, interaction requires friction. People need to interact constructively to get the best outcomes. Too little and you go skidding out of control.

The traditional definition of social cognition is how we think about social interactions. For one, we benefit from formal social interactions as ways to get richer interpretations. If we don’t know how we think, work, and learn, we can’t optimally support both performance in the moment and continual innovation over time.

Deeper uses of technology are going to surface: more data-driven interactions, complemented by both more structured content and more semantics. Those rules can be hand-crafted based upon good guesses or existing research, but new opportunities arise from having those rules capitalize on rich data of interactions.
