In this episode, we'll be chatting about the common jargon used in the Learning and Development field. We'll break down these phrases and explain what they mean, so you can understand and use them in your own L&D conversations.

Here are some of the phrases we'll be covering:

• Blended learning: This refers to a combination of different learning methods, such as online courses, face-to-face training, and e-learning modules.
• Microlearning: This is the use of short, focused learning sessions to help learners retain information and apply it in the workplace.

• Agile learning: Which can mean anything you want it to mean!

In 'What I Learned This Week', Owen discussed his favourite new tool: ChatGPT, which wrote the entirety of these show notes up to the 'agile learning' line in italics. Give it a go here: chat.openai.com/chat
