Pivot to Learning Experience Design

Learning Experience Design (LXD) is becoming “a thing.” More and more folks are changing their titles from Instructional Designer to Learning Experience Designer. What is Learning Experience Design, anyway? Why the change? Instructional design focuses on only a small portion of the learning process—instruction. LXD takes a broader approach that looks at the entire learning process that includes doing (experience), as well as feedback and reflection, supported by content and guidance.
In this session you’ll explore the key disciplines that inform LXD, including design thinking, user experience design, and cognitive science. You’ll encounter a set of research-based guidelines to design, structure, and sequence experiences into optimized learning paths. You’ll also see how to use technology to support and track learning experiences. Finally, you’ll walk through a simple process for designing learning experiences that produce measurable results.

Our VR Journey: What We've Learned...So Far!

During the session, Annie Levesque and Mark Stauffer will discuss wins and obstacles encountered while developing VR training for front-line employees.

How Games Change Your Brain

About 40 percent of the global population plays video games, and that number doubled during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns. Binging video games is never good, but when they are played in reasonable doses they can have positive effects on brain plasticity and behavior.

In this session, we'll take a closer look at how games have been shown to increase, not decrease, efficiency in the brain networks that control attention. We'll consider the cognitive demands associated with multitasking in a game-based environment, and how those skills can help players navigate their increasingly complex world. You'll also learn how games can positively impact eyesight, attention and visual processing.

Once we recognize the cognitive impact of games, we can start thinking about how to harness their benefits to improve learning. We'll look at different types of educational games and discuss how they can help you develop different cognitive skills. We'll also show you virtual games that can be used to foster friendly competition and interaction, and increase attention and engagement. Ultimately, this session will show you how to leverage the power of games to make the brain work smarter, better, and faster.

LECTORA LIVE! Authentic Translation and Localization

CHECK IT OUT

To avoid awkward and sometimes disastrous learning content, instructional designers must use authentic translation in the right context to get optimal results. For example, even a simple phrase like “got milk” translates to “are you lactating” in Mexico. Can you imagine what a straight translation might do to your course?

With over 317 million people in the US and over 6.7 billion potential customers in the world, personalizing training seems logical. People prefer to learn in their native language, so localizing eLearning helps engage learners and gives them that much-needed sense of inclusion.In addition to ensuring your text and narration get converted to the target language accurately, how your content is presented with images and tone must be culturally acceptable. Here’s the good news: even if you are only fluent in your native language, the process isn’t as daunting as you might think.

Join Chris Paxton, President of D3 Training Solutions, to walk through simple strategies step by step.

Who C.A.R.E.S.!? How Learning Got Its Bad Rap & What We Can Do About It

CHECK IT OUT

Since when has learning and development (L&D) become such a negative experience for its intended learners? Could it be because learners have been conditioned by very poor learning experiences over the past two decades, combined with the kinks of technological innovation? Or is it because learning has typically been designed as a one-size-fits-all solution, despite the fact that humans are not clones?

The good news is that technology has come a long way since Y2K, and there is much we've learned about UX/UI and how adults like to learn. This session will introduce a new learning framework called the C.A.R.E.S Learning Effectiveness Model, which:

-Draws upon what we know about behavioral psychology and adult learning-Harnesses the power and potential of new technologies

-Keeps the consumer of information at the forefront of the UX

-Evaluates current offerings and the likelihood learners will achieve the desired behavior change and/or skill needed

Plus, we’ll discuss what's broken about learning today and discover how the CARES Learning Effectiveness Model can be applied to solve the problem.

Mastering Performance Management: How Organizations Are Winning with Video-Based Practice & Coaching

CHECK IT OUT

Did you know that organizations like Paychex, 3M, and Honeywell are creating top-performing employees by incorporating video-based practice and coaching into their learning and development strategies? From sales pitches to soft skills, video-based practice helps learners sharpen communication skills and validate their knowledge with the proof of video documentation.

Whether used as a stand-alone application or integrated with a learning platform, video-based practice and coaching platforms give learners the opportunity to repeatedly demonstrate how they respond to workplace scenarios, including common and uncommon situations. They can prove their aptitude with video documentation - including time-coded notations, and then receive immediate feedback from mentors, instructors, and subject matter experts (SMEs).

Don’t have live instructors available? No problem. With newer technologies, learners can be scored via artificial intelligence (AI) using keyword identification and natural language processing (NLP) to identify the context of speech.

To find out how organizations are driving pinnacle performance with video-based practice and coaching strategies, join Micha Eppler from ELB Learning to see hands-on examples of what video-based learning strategies can do. Micah has helped thousands of clients surpass their KPIs and he can help you too!

Highlights include:

How video-based practice and coaching can be conveniently incorporated into a learning program
How video simulations are being used to help learners practice and improve skills.
How advances in AI (artificial intelligence) and NLP (Natural Language Processing) can help provide learners with real-time feedback.

Bring your burning questions to this live, interactive session. You’ll get an inside look at this proven method of modern learning.

How to Space Out Your Use of Games for Training

CHECK IT OUT

We all are susceptible to the Forgetting Curve (Ebbinghaus, 1885)—after we learn something, we immediately start forgetting some of it. Training games are a great way to incorporate active learning, repetition, and practice at all stages of the training process to maximize knowledge retention. The optimal amount of time between sessions varies based on the kind of information and when the learner needs to use that information.

Carrie Wiser, Senior Instructional Designer at The Game Agency, a division of ELB Learning, will explain the benefits of introducing a training game before your training session, in the middle of your training, and post-training. She’ll also review how to align a training game mechanic to your learning objective.

In this session, you will learn how to:

Use games for spaced practice in your training
Align the right game with your learning objectives
Personalize the learning experience
Measure success and adjust your approach

Using Microlearning to Supplement Traditional, Formal Learning

CHECK IT OUT

As with any approach to talent development or technical training, what is “the next best thing” one day can quickly become “so yesterday”. Microlearning is one of those learning approaches. It is critically important to cut through the noise and instead refocus on the learner – what they need, how time-sensitive is the knowledge, where and how will the skill be used, and what is the operating environment of the individual. Microlearning is a convenient means to a strategic business or organizational outcome, but learning professionals need to continue to be thoughtful about how to incorporate it into any learning ecosystem for optimal results.
