The Learning Circle

Julie Dirksen, author of the popular DESIGN FOR HOW PEOPLE LEARN visits with us to discuss the subject of Flow State as applied to Instructional Design. A Learning Circle favorite, this is Julie's third appearance on the show. It's a wide-ranging and thought-provoking talk that reaches beyond L&D to outside disciplines which can broaden our approach and tool set.

Our guest today is Julian Stodd of the consulting firm Sea Salt Learning. He is a writer, artist, consultant, and explorer, with a deep interest in how things work: systems, societies, and structures, both technical and human. Join us for a conversation that will challenge your thinking about how organizational learning may be developed and orchestrated.

Recorded at Learning Solutions, we speak with Melissa Chambers about Virtual Instructor-Led training and the shift required to plan and execute a VILT offering.

On this episode, we turn the tables and feature Anthony Rotolo on podcasting as one example of how we can shift our mindset and extend learning beyond the course.

As DAU wraps up a major effort to install a new LMS (Learning Management System), we sit down with Rebecca Clark, DAU's Director of Integrated Learning Systems to discuss her experiences and lessons learned.

Sometimes it takes a new perspective to make an innovative breakthrough. By seeing with new eyes, we can approach old problems in fresh ways and surprise ourselves with solutions.

She is the author of eLearning Solutions on a Shoestring;,Social Media for Trainers, and Show Your Work! She is a popular conference speaker and is frequently found at both live and online international events.  In this fun and fast-moving talk, we tackle the topic of building it vs buying it. Does it make sense to take on a learning development project in-house? Is it better to  hire out the task? Some key considerations can help guide the decision.

We speak with Brenda Enders, author of The Manager's Guide to Mobile Learning. We start with a working definition for mobile learning and discuss the challenges that managers and teams face in creating and sustaining a mobile learning program in their organizations.

Technology is the disruptor of our time and its effects are no less felt in the Learning world. We discuss innovation with author Clark Quinn - how it's become the price of entry and how we must jettison old models and adapt as 21st century learning practitioners. Click here or find us on iTunes!
