Community Feedback

1. Hold a Class

  • This is a great tool when lots of people need to learn something at the same time
  • Ask yourself, “What do I want people walking out of this room doing differently?”
  • Focus on the objectives instead of the logistics

2. On-the-Job Training

  • This is helpful when the learning lends itself to this, there are less resources or time available, or if there is a very small number of people involved
  • A lot of organizations talk about on-the-job training, but few really do it
  • Be clear on what you want the person to learn during an established time period and design for that

3. Role-Playing

  • This is helpful when teaching something that requires a lot of human interaction and thinking on your feet.
  • Your steps: demonstrate – practice – coaching/feedback
  • Try to use a “real-play” if at all possible

4. Online learning

  • Helpful when you need to repeat and scale
  • You can do this yourself if you don't have the resources of a large organization or outsource it
  • Bonni and I use Lynda.com and you can use our affiliate link for 7-day trial at http://innovatelearning.com/lynda

5. Social Learning

  • Connectivism: Most knowledge exists in the world rather than in the head of any single individual
  • I'm part of a year-long mastermind group led by Cliff Ravenscraft
  • Suggesting relationships, bringing in websites, videos, and podcasts to share with those you lead
