How are you feeling? What questions come to your mind? Where does your mind go? Are you seeking safety? Would this have been an adrenaline rush as you raced to send the resignation response? What an "enhanced standard" regarding loyalty and trustworthiness was? What are these new "enhanced standards?" Are they beyond what my Constitutional oath requires? If I don't resign, how bright will the target on my back glow? My leadership has supported all my work, but would termination direction come from higher up the chain of command? What would you recommend if we talked over coffee? What questions would you ask? How would you use listening? How would you use silence? How is this scenario playing out in your mind and body? What is coming to the surface for you? How might that influence what you are about to say to me? What are the chances of my name popping on a list and getting fired? How about the chances of being part of an official Reduction in Force and early retirement? Would the administration make a better offer? What do I know about the pending job market?

Can I sufficiently build the Curated Questions business to transition by 1 October? - Do I have the faith or confidence to step into this future as a sole practitioner and grow Curated Questions into all I envisioned? Was this purpose calling? What would I expect the job market to look like at the end of summer if I hadn't developed the income streams to maintain our lifestyle? What is your recommendation? Did it change from your initial recommendation? Where in your body are you feeling the uncertainty? Are you processing this scenario in parallel with your decision as if you had received the email? What additional questions should I have considered? Who else should I have consulted with? How would you have changed my risk rating? What is the correct length of the pregnant pause before making an important announcement? What processes would you use in my circumstance, and what would be different? What questions are at the top of your list to get to a decision? Who would be the members of your pantheon you would counsel with to gain clarity?

When was your last Subject Matter Expert (SME) meeting? How did it go? Was it a painful experience for both of you? If so, this episode is for you! What’s Happening in The Lounge today? I’m excited to bring you this impromptu chat with my new friend Sean Hickey. Sean is a master at working with people. He’s incredibly personable and a joy to spend time with. I’ve had the privilege of spending time with him at two separate conferences, the Ohio ATD Tech days last September and the March 2019 Learning Solutions conference where he and my friend Cara North presented a fun and engaging session – and where they won BEST OF SHOW at DemoFest for their fun game on question pitfalls and the mayhem that comes from ill prepared multiple choice questions. Sean and Cara win Best of Show at Learning Solutions 19 DemoFest This episode isn’t about assessment or evaluation – instead we’re going to dive deep into the tips that Sean has for working effectively with your SMEs to help you and them get the most of your often limited time together. It’s a fun conversation – I had to cut out a lot of my giggles because Sean makes me big belly laugh to the point I sounded like I might need emergency medical attention. So what did we talk about ? Here’s a little list. In this episode: What is a subject matter expert (SME) Sharing the importance of your work Are SMEs critical to our project success? How to build rapport with SMEs Ideas to deal with conflict between various groups Using humour / humor Working from a state of agreement Ideas to reduce stress when SMEs time is “side of the desk” Sean’s process for engagement, formal and informal communication Dealing with the “unnecessary” Things you can do to motivate attendance (I’m not ashamed to admit to bribing folks with food!) Understand the small picture (how their actions impact the new employee) Sean’s process for continuous relationship building Probing questions Impostor syndrome and SMEs Giving the SMEs value to take away The 3-Ps of service About Sean Hickey Sean Hickey Sean Hickey is Lead Curriculum Developer and an instructional designer at Ohio State’s Center on Education and Training for Employment (CETE).

If you listened in last week, you heard Hadiya and I discussing quality control and quality assurance, as well as feedback cycles. I wanted to continue the conversation with you this week but talking about the life-cycle of a learning object. Sometimes, our learning content needs to be updated to reflect new ideals, practices, organization goals and direction, new performance problems and of course, updated government legislation. In this episode: what is a review cycle and why are they important who should be involved what do I do in a review cycle review a real example talk about how freelancers and contractors can implement review cycles My example review cycle: set up review cycle in advance perform cursory review run relevant reports share content agree to next review I’d love to hear what you are doing – you can leave a commont below, email me host @ theloungepodcast.com, or you tweet me with the hashtag #theloungepodcast and let me know what you do to ensure you are keeping your content current.…

#22: QA and QC for Learning Programs with Hadiya Nuriddin 1:01:28

6 years ago1:01:28

1:01:28

So many of us fell into training, learning and development – it wasn’t a selected career path for most of my friends and colleagues in the industry. This week’s guest is no different. Hadiya Nuriddin started much like I did, supporting peers with hardware and software questions, being the most knowledgeable and being able to clearly communicate the “how-to” and “why” of training. Hadiya and I bonded over a previous conversation chatting about quality assurance, quality control and review cycles for learning projects and I knew that this conversation should be not only shared between the two of us, but with ALL of us, our clients and our projects. We want the best output for our projects. We want our clients to be happy. Part of this is ensuring quality output in our learning programs, whether it’s an instructor led experience (presentation, student guide, facilitator guide), job aids and support materials, or eLearning! We want things to work, to be accurate, to be almost perfect. I’ve had my share of projects the client has seen before quality assurance testing was completed, and I can’t tell you the number of time’s I’ve cringed because a button doesn’t work, I forgot the trigger, or it goes to the wrong place. It happens, especially when I look after my own reviews, which I don’t recommend. The value of a defined QA process is important to delivering a high quality end product. Hadiya Nuriddin, Owner of Focus Learning Solutions, and Author In This Episode: review cycles for learning programs, what it is and why you need one quality assurance as a discipline the importance of adding QA into a project plan how to get started putting QA into practice considerations for what you need in a QA process the importance of consistency in review the value of investing in the right person for the job feedback loops Verb – Current State – Recommended State Importance of a single point of contact Consequence Management (my fav term from this chat!) tools for capturing feedback version control writing a book the hero’s journey About Hadiya: Hadiya Nuriddin has two decades of experience in learning strategy, instructional design, elearning development, and facilitation. She worked in corporate learning before choosing to found her firm Focus Learning Solutions where she’s worked with a wide array of companies on a variety of topics. She speaks at events and industry conferences and travels teaching courses for the Association for Talent Development (ATD). Hadiya holds an M.Ed. in curriculum studies, an M.A. in writing, and the Certified Professional in Learning and Performance (CPLP) designation.

Join me in this first episode of 2019 as my friend Lance Healy joins me to discus how he collaborated with a learning partner to implement a learning management system for a very short-term project: the 2015 Toronto Pan Am and Para Pan Am Games. I met Lance 10 years ago at a Lectora Conference – and we’ve been friends ever since! I love chatting with him every opportunity I get and I suggest you take a look at his social and connect with him! In this episode: Thinking a bit outside the norm helped solve a big business problem and contribute to the amazing success of these games. When was the last time you got to contribute and solve a business problem that wasn’t necessarily learning related? As training, learning and development professionals we can offer so much more than a training session, webinar or eLearning course – if only we are given an opportunity. Seek out YOUR opportunity to contribute and make a difference in your organization or your community! If you aren’t familiar with the games, they are some of the most amazing amateur sports competitions – if you can’t make it to the Olympics, the Pan Am Games are just as exciting. The next games will be held in Lima, Peru in 2019. About Lance: Lance is a sales and marketing leader with expertise in eLearning solutions, global business development and international channel market cultivation. Over the past 14 years, Lance built a wildly successful network of channel partners across the globe and assisted thousands of organizations with enhancing their eLearning programs.

19 – eLearning Art, Images and Portfolios with Bryan Jones 1:00:20

6 years ago1:00:20

1:00:20

I am super-duper excited to bring you this awesome lounge conversation with Bryan Jones, my authority for cut-out people, images and backgrounds for elearning projects. I am privileged to have been an early adopter of the amazing items Bryan offered up through is business eLearningart.com. Bryan has been working in elearning for a while now, and about 10 years ago he recognized a need, a shortcoming in the industry – he needed great images for scenarios and interactions in his elearning projects, but he had a hard time finding what he needed. I was there too! Between my needs for safety related images and a more diverse workforce, Bryan was my go-to guy. He readily responded and helped me and my best friend Jenn get the images we needed for our projects. No questions asked except what does it need to look like and when do you need it. Now he’s branching out to offer other amazing products like templates and presentation aids and a much needed course on building a portfolio. About Bryan Jones and his company eLearningArt.com eLearningArt is the leading provider of eLearning images and templates for the eLearning industry. Through its people picture images, background images, templates, and other stock photos, eLearningArt empowers eLearning developers to build better training, faster. With the largest library of eLearning assets on the web, eLearningArt offers trainers not only a wide selection to choose from, but all of the assets are developed specifically to meet the needs of an eLearning developer. I can’t recommend Bryan’s library of images enough! Head on over there – and as a valued listener, and to thank you for your ears in this episode, Bryan offered us a special Lounge package FREE to download! Take a look at this special download he’s put together just for Lounge listeners! In this episode: how Bryan got started how to use images why a repository is a great way to build out your scenarios legalities of using purchased images why you need to know your terms of use and licensing for images you purchase how images can help you build out a portfolio Bryan’s Portfolio Course Portfolio Building I am one of those folks that never really had a portfolio. I’ve been lucky to be referred business and to be included with some really amazing companies as an outsourced developer, but I really want a portfolio to help me build out my own client base. I also know I’m one of those people who needs to have some “skin in the game” in order to DO something. I need to be held accountable. So – because I know me, I joined Bryan’s latest cohort and let me tell you the value I’ve had in the first two sessions is incredible! His knowledge and ideas are amazing and he is just so authentic and real. I am well on my way to building out a portfolio that my clients will find both interesting and valuable in making the decisions to work with me. I know you will find great value in this too. If you don’t have a portfolio, take a moment to get on the list to be notified of the next cohort. It will really help you target your portfolio and get started! This Reminds me of a pain in my back! I spend so much time every day sitting at my desk, trying to keep caught up on all the things that need to be done, and trying to meet all my deadlines. I work a lot – I’m usually at my desk from just after 6 am until between 3:30 and 4:30. If I’m lucky, I remember to have lunch – I forgot today, but there was a lot going on – like trying to get this episode out, a call with Bryan about the portfolio cohort, my new kitten Mac knocked over my teacup and I had a bit of a tea disaster…so many things, so little time to get stuff done. But I feel creaky and my knees and back get achy. It doesn’t help that I have degenerative disc disease, disc compression and a bulge, which I relieve by using my inversion table and spinal decompression therapy. During the day though, I discovered an amazing tool that I easily added to my desk to help me relieve some pressure during the workday – my Anthrodesk! Toronto based Anthrodesk offers a wide range of standing desks and conversions (that’s what I have) to help you keep productive while thinking about your back health! My desk converter is in the link here, I can’t say enough good things about it – well constructed, easy to raise and lower (even with two monitors on it) and it looks great. Consider taking some of the stress off your back – look at some of their amazing options today! It’s been 2 months and I’m over the moon with my conversion table! https://twitter.com/jachutchinson/status/1039985581554638853 Links in this episode: Bryan Jones and eLearningArt.com Free image offering for lounge listeners only!

016: Scenario-based Learning Experiences with Christy Tucker 46:01

7 years ago46:01

46:01

"What's the hubbub about scenarios?", you ask. Listen in to this episode and you'll find out! I'm so happy to have been able to speak with Christy Tucker in this episode about Learning Scenarios and storytelling. To me, she is a leader in designing single point scenarios or branching scenarios. Christy is a wealth of knowledge about eLearning as well. I know you'll find some amazing information there so be sure to pop over and read up on her thoughts, ideas and experiences. My drink of choice today was an Iced Frozen Raspberry loose leaf tea from David's tea - and Christy let me know she was enjoying a Lemon Basil Oolong - and now I need to try that! Why Scenarios? I've been a big fan of branching scenarios and including scenarios, storytelling and simulations into the learning experience. I believe that it is important we ensure learners can think through decisions, without being spoon-fed. Scenarios let the learner make choices, see and feel the consequences of their actions, even when that means the most extreme outcomes, because these are the moments when they learn. It's not always just about following a process, it's about ensuring our learning participants are prepared to perform in real life, on the job, in the moment. A great scenario can do that (and a poorly crafted scenario can be a disaster). Who is Christy Christy Tucker is a learning design consultant with over fifteen years of experience helping people learn. She specializes in using scenario-based learning to engage audiences and promote transfer of skills to real-world environments. She has created courses for clients including the National Alliance for Partnerships in Equity, Cisco, and The Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation. Christy has been blogging about instructional design and eLearning for over ten years. What's in this episode What is a scenario When are scenarios useful Branching Scenarios versus simple one question scenario Getting started with a simple scenario Process for designing a scenario How to determine when to use a scenario Working with SMEs (Subject Matter Experts) How long does it take to design different scenarios Manage the complexity of the scenario Christy's Social Connect Christy on Twitter Christy on LinkedIn - don't forget your intro message!
