Writing Process from Brain Dump to Storyboard

Experiencing eLearning

Specifically, she wanted to know how I get from content like a SME “brain dump” to a finalized storyboard that’s ready for elearning development. Sometimes, a SME writes some sort of “brain dump” of what they know and think is important. Are there more pictures of problems?

My brain is racist. Does that mean I am?

CLO Magazine

But what if we understood the moniker not as a scarlet letter of disgrace, but a brain default that we all share? The only way our brains know how: Recognize and respond. To wit, there are two primary reasons my brain defaults to racist thinking. The brain accomplishes this feat, in part, by recognizing (or not) the familiar.

Cognitive and Learning Sciences

Clark Quinn

You’ll see a lot of vendors/sessions/webinars touting neuroscience or brain-based. Yes, our brains are composed of neurons, and we do care about what we know about brains. With powerful tools like MRI, we can understand lots more about what the brain does. So, we activate patterns. And above that, the social.

The True Meaning of Algorithm

Learningtogo

But the general public and social media aren’t always painting an accurate picture of the risks and capabilities of these technologies. Our brains do funny things sometimes. AIs like neural networks develop their own internal models based on patterns in the data, rather than just executing predefined algorithms.

How to Mold Smarter Learners by Using Patterns

Vignettes Learning

Your morning routine is an excellent example of a pattern. A pattern is a repeated, recurrent behavior of a group or individual. But patterns are not limited to the things we do. There are also the patterns that we see around us and patterns we use to make sense of the world. Pareto Principle, Cause-Effect, Whys?

Perchance to Dream – How sleep affects learning, memory and brain health

Learningtogo

While your body and your conscious mind appear to zone out during sleep, your brain is still very active, and doing some amazing things. Rapid Eye Movement sleep (REM) changes this pattern of slowly descending into lower and lower brain and body activity levels. Adenosine is a chemical that that causes drowsiness.

Learning Science: The Coherence Principle Decoded

Mike Taylor

Picture this: I’m fresh on the scene as a new learning designer, proud of my first course about the pH of water systems in a coal-fired power plant. Irrelevant pictures, gratuitous use of color, and redundant bullet points are like cognitive speed bumps, slowing down the assimilation of essential information. The result?
