Some bits of what Josh shared in his presentation are available in this complimentary report titled Predictions for Corporate Learning and Training Management 2010 (registration required).

Among the experiences they shared I liked the idea of ‘jamming’ – which I understood as ‘uninhibited experimentation’ – trying to get together to try to do new things without fear of failure. This quote from them was doing rounds on twitter for quite some time after their presentation – “Only by watering ideas do you find out if it’s a weed or a flower”.

He states that a lot of people do not use their talents or for that matter even are aware of what their talents might be. We need to do different things and we need to do them in a different way. But at the same time I can’t help to notice that there is a huge gap between practice and theory, between dream and reality. I know they hate frontal one way presentations, but because the audience wasn’t really cooperating, that was mostly what it was.

Where do you start? Which theory do you choose? A valuable means by which a learner can close the gaps in their existing schema, and broaden and deepen their knowledge, is to engage with other people, ask questions, debate ideas, and share experiences. . So forget about trying to know everything; instead, exploit technology to extend your knowledge beyond your own brain. Academia is teeming with learning theories. Some of them are old, some of them are new.

The idea is that knowing what you want in life allows you to act in ways that help you realize your goals. This is what we should do as instructional designers as well. Our objectives, and all development work that follows, should directly help to close that gap. On the one hand, SMEs often want everything they know to make it into training. What do you think?

Yes – even in the eLearning biz: There continues to be a consistent gender gap in pay between men and women. This gap is most notable in part-time employee pay, where women receive an average hourly rate that is 49.4% So they are doing a better job of managing workflow, and projects and so forth, because they have to.

How often do you receive requests for refresher training? And how do you handle those requests? First of all, I've learned to identify an actual performance gap. Instead of simply asking what skills to refresh, I now know to determine the client's broader goals and where the current state is relative to that. Secondly, I've learned to look for causes of the performance gap. So what do you do? Do you have similar stories to share?

Do you draw a circle around the area and write a note in the margin saying, "Please remove the space between the words to make one word"? How do I know this?

While handling the grammar quite well, the TTS voice by itself cannot know the nuances and emphases (prosody) needed to bring out the intended meaning of the sentence and will produce a compromise prosody. Authors need to fill the gap. Authors know what the voice should sound like, they use punctuation and mark-up language to makes the TTS voice achieve the intended meaning and clarity as well as enlivening it. How do I love thee?

This has really stuck in my head and is definitely making me think differently about what I do and why. They’ll see the training as something designed for them, to help them do their jobs, rather than as something the business has to roll out in order to get a tick in the right box.

Do they learn more about their job from formal training (classroom, online, etc.) or do they learn more informally (from peers, managers, etc.)? If trainees were learning from a co-worker instead of a trainer it meant that there was a training “gap&# or a need not being addressed in the classroom. This can be as simple as a spreadsheet highlighting who on the team is experienced in what so everyone automatically knows the “expert&# to turn to for questions.

You should do this before you meet with the client so you don’t appear sloppy. I’ve been on projects where we found that too many assumptions were made about the content and we didn’t see the gaps until after the course was ready to go.
