Curiosity often gets overlooked in organisational learning but it is being talked about more and more. For example, Julian Stodd’s research on social leadership , gives the first tenet of this new leadership style as to ‘be curious’. But why is curiosity so important in learning? Introduce games into your learning.

The book covers the basics of ‘what is elearning’ and selling it to your organisation through to more advanced topics such as game-based learning (from the newly anointed Dr Ben Betts – congratulations on your PhD Ben!) and social learning.

Learning needs to be focussed on performance and that’s where goal-based learning comes in. Goal-based learning is an extension of Cathy Moore’s Action Mapping process, of which we’ve been firm advocates for a long time. It concentrates on developing real-world behaviours that will lead to performance improvement.

Plus I wanted to develop another open course (or two) in a goal-based learning format. ReD will eventually have two children; Digital Learning Design (DLD) and Digital Learning Production (DLP). You can sign up for the Digital Learning Design course by emailing info@learningagesolutions.com.

Returning to a soggy grey UK, I’ve been thinking a lot about the trip and reflecting on my learning process. I went with three goals in mind: Learn to parallel turn (turn with my feet parallel). Practicing and learning from my mistakes. This, of course, is a recipe for learning any new skill. It was awesome.

Informal learning, like the scenario above, takes place constantly in most organisations. It is estimated that probably as much of 80% of learning within an organisation is informal, with formal training constituting the other 20%. What is informal learning? How can informal learning be harnessed?

Learning has gone mobile. Learning has become playful. As the gamers of my generation have moved into positions of influence, more game-like learning experiences are becoming accepted. Learning is social. Learning experiences have gotten shorter. Entertainment and then learning will go immersive.

In Learning and Development we also have the G-word, by which I mean “gamification”. I’m an adult and learning is a serious business.”. Gamification (like ‘social learning’) is a term I tend to avoid unless the other party uses it first. The unrestrained use of this term tends to provoke strong reactions: “Games?

Imagine a learning experience that is truly participatory; that doesn’t focus on a linear narrative but, instead, is a rich weave of stories from a number of different media and platforms; that immerses its audience fully in the story, making them part of the learning experience. This is Transmedia Learning, or it could be….

I thought I might be a bit of an oddity with my learning technologies background however the people I met were intrigued and interested in our (LearningAge Solutions) work, particularly the transmedia style learning projects we’ve undertaken. I was again struck by how similar transmedia is to blended and social learning.

Onboarding may take up to 6 months and consist of a number of face-to-face and online interactions, learning opportunities and feedback. Learning modules, covering ‘need-to-know’ policies and procedures can also be made available via an LMS so that employees can gain this knowledge at a time and pace that suits them.

You learn loads of useful new stuff. I believe that what happens after a learning intervention (be it workshop, webinar, elearning course or whatever) is even more important than what happens during the intervention. You’ve probably experienced this situation, most of us have. You attend a great instructor-led workshop.

I don’t hold with the vi ew that: Blended learning = elearning + instructor-led. Given the huge range of learning interventions we can now use this is a far too limiting definition. Social networks for learner-to-learner and learner-to-tutor communication.

We’ve been involved in this great little project recently with Tunbridge Wells Museum and Art Gallery. Their aim is to get art and exhibits out into the community to reach people who wouldn’t normally experience them.

The following day Clive held back somewhat from taking pot-shots at a number of sacred cows of learning theory and practice. Myself and a few friends (old and new, who shall remain nameless) took it upon ourselves to prove Donald wrong by staying up way past our usual 10pm bedtimes.
