Kylie could star in Tag’s biopic. May I ask the breed?

Awesome as always! Will I be able to stream Flan’s interview? I confused the time change. Thanks!

Yeah, and that racist twat they interviewed towards the end is a reminder that ‘twas ever thus.

Re-watching The Decline of Western Civilization, I was struck at how bands like X and the Circle Jerks, who seemed so dangerous and subversive at the time, now look like nice, earnest kids you might have had in your class at university.

A7) That we are an egocentric species who see ourselves in everything. So as LXDs, we might as well leverage that. #learnchat

Q6) Anything worth teaching has some value to humans, however well-hidden. Find that value, bring it to the forefront, include personas, and there’s your story. #learnchat

A3) This vignette and others like it proved more effective than the white paper the client was using.

A4) Present consequences that drive home why the policy exists in the first place, balanced with reasons someone wouldn’t want to comply. #learnchat

Concrete sequences, laced with causes and effects directly resultIng from someone’s choices, reflect how we view reality.

The cybersecurity course I’m working on consists of little else but stories. (Okay, reference material too, but these exist mainly to reinforce the scenarios.) #LearnChat

I’m also an ID/LXD looking for work. No leads to share, but if you haven’t done so, you may want to check out Learnchat on Bluesky. Others in the profession meet every month to discuss a different topic. Last month it was motivation in learning.

Keep it real. #Learnchat

Can’t add much to Clark’s answer. If imaginary tools are allowed, a dashboard that displays the learner’s projected future competency and career success in real time as the course progresses. That would motivate me! #Learnchat

Humans are wired to think in terms of stories. Presenting material in terms of connected events with strategically placed choices, has been unspeakably powerful in my experience. My gamification experience is limited, unless test scores count. *Games* show promise if kept relevant. #LearnChat

Intrinsic is usually the form we have more control over. Fortunately, it’s also the more powerful. #LearnChat

Spacing and interleaving practice. #LearnChat

You beat me to it, Clark!

Interactive, realistic scenarios, branched if the material warrants it, with relatable characters. Presenting learners with a relevant problem to solve, where their choices receive positive or negative consequences that mirror the real world and make clear “what’s in it for me?” #LearnChat

My motivation peaks when I almost, but not quite, achieve whatever I’m trying to achieve. Being “so, so close” gets me to near manic obsession with reconciling my mental model of the task with the task itself. #learnchat

Hello #Learnchat! I’m John Endicott, an LXD and instructional designer from Denver CO. This week I learned that while Camtasia is great for video, its so-called smart player is not ready for prime time when it comes to interactivity. (I also learned about this group!)
