David Broadhurst, the co-founder of Codesafe, is a construction industry veteran. He opens Ep 49 with a story from nine years ago about an incident where someone on site where he was supervisor was almost killed. He began searching for a better way to ensure that workers in high risk sectors actually understood safety critical information and worked safely. He created the Codesafe methodology which has captured the attention of safety bodies in Australia and been the subject of research by the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) to understand what makes the approach effective.

Rae Grech is a health and safety manager who has a training background. In 2013 Rae engaged David's team to create video materials for high risk processes in ceiling insulation. Their work together resulted in significant systemic improvements in safety at the organisation. While easy to access content is part of the reason for this, the real driver is a participatory approach that engaged workers and unlocked their tacit knowledge.

Jane Bozarth has long advocated making work visible through a practice known as 'show your work.' Interestingly, a survey currently underway (as at March 2020) by the eLearning Guild indicates that 1/3 of US respondents are seeing an increased demand for demonstrating or sharing work processes as we come to grips with the impact of COVID-19. Jane shares a stack of examples that illustrate the value and wide range of formats of this practice. She makes suggestions as to how learning professionals can both role model and encourage other to show their work.

Nick Shackleton-Jones is the author of How People Learn. He developed the Affective Context Model as a general theory of how people learn. In this episode he discusses the role of emotions in learning, going so far as to suggest that emotion is the process behind learning. In a period of heightened emotion it's even more important to understand what matters to people – what their concerns really are. He strongly recommends avoiding content dumping and using resources rather than courses to respond to people's concerns.

Martin Couzins is the editor of LearnPatch, which is a curation platform predominantly for learning professionals. He defines curation as gathering, sense-making and sharing information for a defined audience and need. He recommends that before you start curating you understand the audience need and preferred channels to receive content. Aspects that he provides tips on include developing reputable feeds of relevant content from credible sources and sense-making to help people filter and identify relevant content.

Note – This is an abridged version of a longer (45 minute) discussion with Martin. The full version includes a discussion on the use of data to monitor and evaluate curation, plus more detail on other topics in the abridged version. Link to full version is in the resource list below.

Charles Jennings and Vivian Heijnen discuss how learning can be supported in the workplace. The pressing need is for learning professionals to think, act and work closely with business stakeholders to help them solve business problems. This has always been the need – it's just more critical now. They give steps, illustrated with real examples, to use a standard methodology to uncover key organisational challenges and design with learning in the workplace as a start point. Another critical role for learning professionals is to identify learning that is happening in the workplace (aka improved processes, faster innovation cycles) and transfer that to relevant others.

One of Megan Torrance's areas of expertise is on the use of Agile work methodology for instructional design projects. The approach she has adapted is called Lot Like Agile Management Approach (LLAMA). In the spirit of the Disruption series Megan identifies a core set of steps you could start using right now to speed up your instructional design projects and still get out effective solutions. The key is to create a Minimum Viable Product, release it for testing, get feedback and then iterate – in a series of short cycles.

eLearning design and development is not something to be rushed into, especially if you are just getting started. The eLearning Coach, Connie Malamed, provides tips for both absolute beginners and those who are moving from face to face to online solutions quickly. She discusses solid evidence-informed approaches you can draw on and suggests ways of applying them. In particular Connie warns against 'page-turning, click-next' design and suggests using eLearning for spaced practice and repetition as part of a blended online approach.
