ConveYour: On Learning & Development

Today, more than ever, businesses are focusing on driving outcomes.  They cannot afford to train without success.  However, there is often a disconnect between managers/directors/stakeholders, and those who are creating the training.  This is due, in part, to a miscommunication.  Trainers often feel that they need to focus on course completion, employee satisfaction, and the ease of using an LMS.  However, stakeholders don't simply want completion and satisfaction.  They desire changes from the learners that result in higher productivity and profit.  By learning how to clearly define the outcome, Stephen hopes the Training Outcome Designer™ will build a bridge between the two parties...because both want the overall success of their people and their company.

II. Defining “It’s Not A Cakewalk”

• Learning must be effortful (Based on Make It Stick: https://conveyour.com/blog/a-review-of-make-it-stick-the-science-of-successful-learning)
• What are the tools of elaboration, reuse, recitation, and mixing up?
• The Ancient Way of Learning (the Trivium)

• "To know and not to do is not to know at all.” - Laozi
• Spaced Repetition
  • We remember things best
    • Right before we forget them
    • When we are forced to recall
• Not: Consume, Consume, Consume—Go Do
• Rather: Consume, Recall; Consume, Recite; Consume, Elaborate—Go Do
• The most effortful learners become experts (violinist example)

IV.  Capability of Platforms

• Evolution of e-Learning 
  • Blogging
  • Vlogging
  • Website Publishing as a Course

• Time doesn’t mean effort (Working out)
• Need for high intensity
• Deliberate practice

VI.  Allowing People to Fail

• Squeamish about wrong answers
• The “All of the above” Issue in quizzing
• No sense of assessment
• The Problem of participation trophies
• “Fail often. Fail early. Fail forward.”
• The real world.
