In this episode, I discuss the details of cognitive load, how to develop learning that helps your learners focus, while still engaging them with the right elements, even if that means just a simple timeline display. I also discuss one of my research staples, e-learning and the science of instruction, by Ruth Clark and Richard Mayer.. and use their best practices to help sequence and display learning in a way that does not affect the learning that needs to take place.

Have you ever heard people say "I could do that better" or "how can they call that learning?" or "what a page turner!" and thought... well, sure but what have you built lately? what are some examples you can point to that are great? Well, it is easy to criticize... hey, I've had my work called funny names, but those people have not produced anything award-winning... like, ever! So, how do you complain about the state of the elearning out there the right way?

A lot of times we think just telling someone why something is good for them will be enough to convince them to take the time to do it. I will teach you how to use scenarios to shatter some of those misconceptions and leverage consequences and time compression to help adult learners discover their gaps and tap into their inner motivations to learn. Enjoy!

I get this question a lot: how do I get my SME (subject matter expert) to give me all the info I need to make great scenarios? How do I explain my process to them? How do I prepare so that I ask the right questions? I get into this and more and share strategies from the trenches of instructional design. Plus, bonus tips and psychological tricks that will actually help everyone (you and your SME) have a better experience. Enjoy and leave a review to let me know if you liked this episode.

This episode is all about storytelling. How to use it to enhance your learners experience, their buy-in and how to influence their behaviors. I have a guest on for this episode: Ryan Martin, a storytelling expert and the co-creator of Broken Co-Worker. We spend an hour actively discussing storytelling strategies, elements that make a great story and why you should be using more stories more often as part of your defacto elearning strategy. Enjoy!

Yeah, you call it needs analysis or something like that, but really it's all about finding what our learner will actually find interesting and engaging enough to make them BELIEVE they need to and then WANT to change. Sorry, don't mean to yell with all caps... but I got your attention, didn't I? How can you help people CHANGE, or LEARN something useful in 15 minutes of scenarios? I've got some ideas... and I do go on about explaining them with some great examples. Enjoy friend!

Getting good at talking with Subject Matter Experts for our elearning and scenarios is ALWAYS a topic of interest, maybe because we demand too much and prepare in the wrong way? What about coming in with a model and expecting the SME to know nothing about our elearning project, in effect letting them be the Subject Matter Expert in their domain and letting us remain one in ours. I explore this and more in this episode. Enjoy!

Ok, so in this episode, my esteemed friend, I deconstruct Engagement, what it means and how to get it layered on. The idea is that there are many different ways to engage people, some people will respond to one kind of engagement while others don't. What you want to do, is stack the odds in your favor... how do you do that? Engagement Scenario Strategies. I am ready!
