Tips and Suggestion – Using Interactivity for Rapid Development Create an interactivity “sampler” to show to internal customers, SME’s, etc. Review before design activities. Don’t create navigation controls at the page level. It’s a waste of time. Page turning isn’t bad if used in moderation. Add a healthy mix of interactivity. When prototyping, create a prototype for each interaction, not just a single lesson or module. Consider using multiple tools to meet the need. One caution: make sure interactivity choices don’t overshadow the instruction. It is possible to use too much of a good thing.

Definition of Wiki Wiki: A website created by a group; rather than by an individual. In Hawaiian, Wiki means “quick” W hat I K now I s… (descriptive of the process of collaborative content development.

Ideas for using Wikis in Learning Ad hoc, Knowledge Management Repository Centralized location for documenting and organizing procedural information Group-based learning assignments (work as a team) Soliciting information from Subject Matter Experts; allowing a group of experts to contribute and edit content. Creating content with varying points of view (Groupthink) Learning content delivery for content that changes rapidly (bio-technology). Learn by teaching (Wiki authors)

Tips to successfully using Wikis for Learning Work on the initial taxonomy as a group, then turn them loose The more specific the topic focus, the better the content. Designated time period (when used as part of a structured course) Allow the Wiki to develop organically without enforcing too much workflow Allow learners to correct each other; rather than jumping in to correct problems (constructivist approach) Hold informal training sessions to teach Wiki syntax especially to Subject Matter Expert Lead by example – post excellent content

Questions about Informal Learning After this discussion…. Is informal learning part of my job as a Training/Learning Professional? If not, whose job is it? Should I just set up the technical infrastructure for informal learning, or do I need to be a primary content contributor? How much “control” of informal learning is right for my organization? Should informal learning ever be tracked? If so, what is the best way to track it? What can I do to make sure that informal learning doesn’t become just another “content silo”? How do I set up a loop to make sure that critical issues raised in informal learning exchanges get on the company’s radar screen as possible formal training opportunities?

Definition Blended Learning To combine or mix various instructional delivery modes and methods to meet a common set of learning goals or objectives. Blending the best characteristics of instructor-led training with other, innovative forms of instruction. A phrase frequently used as “buzz words” to try and persuade buyers to choose e-learning solutions (sometimes synonymous with “ hype ”).

How organizations view “Blended” Constructivism – “learners create their own reality, based on past experience.” Behaviorism – “cause and control of behaviors that can be measured and observed.” Cognitivism – “Mental maps, macro thinking, cognition”

Levels of Performance Management Treatment

Typical Evolution of Performance Management New Company Human Resources Training Deploy system to track employees, benefits, compensation Oversee annual performance reviews Provide learning content in the areas of management, regulatory/compliance, and software application Work with “competencies” Skills, knowledge and attitude training Manage classroom and online learning Provide a catalog of learning content to teach people how to “do their jobs” Creates reports showing “learning gains” Measures through “competencies” Learning Management System LMS

Does the word “competency” mean the same thing to both groups?

Cathay Pacific Airline (Hong Kong) Case Study Previous approach: annual reviews almost always lead to annual pay raises, based on simple, scored form The process was sending the wrong message about what constitutes good performance Goal: Build an environment that encourages the practice of desired “behavior” LMS serves up a combination of learning and performance events, then creates a profile to reward performance. 14,000 staff worldwide; very geographically disperse Learners: Connecting annual performance review with actual, observed behavior as opposed to arbitrary pay increase. Using an LMS Best Practice:

Tips for optimizing performance management using an LMS Open communication between HR and Training; find a way to work together on competencies If you already have some form of competency management in place, link it; rather than replace Blended learning is more about on-the-job training, than it is about mixing classroom and online. Don’t be afraid to have your learners “perform.” It is the key to performance management. Take advantage of the testing capabilities of your LMS to measure knowledge. Pass this information along during performance reviews

Tips for optimizing performance management using an LMS (cont) Use Analytics to measure Kirkpatrick levels 3 and 4. It will take some thought, but you can do it. Try taking on “onboarding” as a task for you LMS. You can mix forms and learning into a single environment. Great proof-of-concept for what is possible. The most important thing you can do is to create a unified, learning delivery system to bridge the content from HR, training and other content providers into a unified, individualized learning plan.
