Anyone who is interested in the social media phenomenon would be very interested to read this from Abday Adhikari, writing in the Guardian : Every time we publish information on the internet, we are effectively starting a conversation, because people can respond or react to it. We are susceptible to the ripple effect, but direction changes can be made if the network requires them. We are essentially performing our ideas to a vast and unseen audience.

The conversation erupted on social media, as it has before, about the state of affairs in the field of Learning and Development, or L&D. 1 The conversation was generally about how we have all been committed to changing the practice of L&D for years, yet we were having much the same conversation all over again. Perhaps it’s tempting to blame the design process for failing to produce effective solutions, but I would disagree.

This is the type of common sense that doesn’t turn into ROI, but I think more accurately measures many programs. Yes, there will always be the student who LOVES classes (and hint, hint — the student who LOVES all classes is typically a lower-performing employee). If you are using social media in your classes, you can eavesdrop even better on these conversations. 3) Undertrained vs. under-performing. Good programs should up-level employees before they under-perform.

The conversation turned to music, my songwriting and performances with various bands during the 80s and 90s. If you decide to go off on your own, there is likely to be discord, confusion and a general loss of tempo or impetus in a performance. Teachers who work with their students tend to be more effective than those who stand apart. 2) Performance is connection. Giving others space within a musical performance is vital.

In many cases great instructional designers follow the instructional design process instinctively and the degree simply adds a common language to what they are already doing. Together, we could be a very interesting and effective team.

It was a fluid theory that allowed for behavioural adjustments on the fly, as people saw themselves 'reflected in the eyes of the other' - the impact of what they were saying - as they conversed. Goffman saw social interaction as a drama performance, in which the actor's behaviour was framed by front stage and back stage roles, scripts, props and costumes. This has great import in our understanding of how we perform to audiences in social media (of which more later in this post).

While every organization in the world is unique, most have characteristics in common. All employees are ultimately connected to one another through a common purpose to succeed and fulfill the mission of the organization. Sharing a common purpose and vision may be the most basic element of connectedness for employees, but it’s very loose and at a high-level. High performing individuals commonly enjoy even higher levels of connectedness within the organization.

We may follow a manual to effect a repair we’ve never attempted before. Learning by experience can be quite effective. ” But while effective, it isn’t terribly efficient on its own. Learning alone may be effective, but very inefficient. The result is the converse of learning alone: it’s social but not experiential. It’s efficient in some ways, but it’s not effective.

As a Learning and Development (L&D) professional and strategist, I think about choices for addressing performance needs in the workplace. At others, it’s performance support, coaching and mentoring, or possibly connecting one employee with others. Conversely, informal methods have very high value for the expert but relatively low value for those new to a given field.

Monday, June 18, 2007 Visual and Auditory Multi-Tasking From the Eide Neurolearning Blog: Voluntary Control of Attention - Visual and Auditory Multi-Tasking There is a yin and yang effect between visual and auditory attention. Mixed visual-auditory stimuli have an underadditive effect, so that if you have to do both at the same time, total brain activation goes down. Maybe the "underadditive effect" occurs when a multimedia presentation does all the thinking for you.

I had the pleasure of lunching with Jane during a recent trip to Los Angeles and, while the conversation was mostly pleasure, we briefly got around to talking about workplace learning and how many organizations seemingly refuse to acknowledge or respond to the increasingly diverse ways employees learn without the help of L&D.

One social anthropologist in particular might have had a great deal to say about the Facebook effect. It is a kind of ''performance'' where we conceal unpleasant or undesirable aspects of our personae, whilst emphasising desirable and more attractive attributes to our ''audience'' of others. Conversely, the ''back stage'' region is where we are less guarded and more relaxed, and reveal a more natural representation of ourselves.

It can also be present in the design of the objects you use to perform the skill. How it can be applied in education As Norman suggests, when information to perform a task is present within the design of an object, the need to learn it is reduced. Conversely, presenting a problem to students places them in an unfamiliar context where they are compelled to expend mental energy to solve it. This is number 30 in my series on learning theories.
