That being said, we still spend a whole lot of time developing formal classroom or eLearning programs wi th specific objectives and supposedly measurable outcomes. Looking back on the experience almost 30 years later brings to mind several lessons in social learning. I remember being nervous on the first day of Junior High back in 1980 something. It was a new school with new teachers, new classmates, new everything.

I’d like to share a few of those lessons with you here. Lesson 1 – Active Listening. When you have been designing instructional programs for awhile, it is easy to start making assumptions about your client’s needs. Lesson 2 – Don’t leave any fingerprints. Rather, this lesson has taught me that good directors and good instructional designers do not insist on keeping something in a project just because they like it.

In my current contract, I’ve been working on creating a Moodle site for a year-long training program. Lessons Learned. If I’m doing software application training, doing it as a webinar isn’t really my first choice. I’d rather create a bunch of Captivate tutorials and job aids to let people learn at their own pace, when they need to use the skills. Just-in-time, interactive training that supports or simulates actual tasks is my first choice.

He uses this model to actually build the learning program and then evaluates it by going through these levels in reverse order. The Training Department designs a central “Lessons Learned” database, establishes social media to connect the people within the organization, and determines the appropriate measurement to be counting the number of problems/mistakes in the project reports each month to see if they improve.

My preference is in person or online programs that present employees with plenty of scenarios describing situations that might tempt an individual to cross the line. So dust off the ethics/compliance policy, make certain it is up to date and plan for training, before the end of 2011. > Headline news scandals that include preventable employee behavior — case in point, News Corporation — are always helpful for justifying training budgets.
