Emotion, or motivation, or... - Learnlets
I've been looking for a good phrase to replace 'engagement'. Is it emotion, or motivation, or... Here're some thoughts.| Learnlets
This is the first of four posts on how to make it meaningful. This one discusses the core element, which yields the 'hook'.| Learnlets
In the interest of the continuation of Quinnovation, Learnlets, and me, this is a solicitation post. If it’s not for you, kindly ignore. However, it may be for your boss; if so, please pass it on! | Learnlets
I'm judging courses, and seeing a reliable problem. Please, please, help learners by starting with what's in it for them!| Learnlets
In a recent post, Harold Jarche talks eloquently about moving into the networked era, and practices of workscaping. He points to this insightful model by Jane Hart, showing the bigger picture supporting performance in the workplace, or what I like to call Big L learning.| Learnlets
How do you review? You could do a full coverage, but instead how about a cognitive audit for the small changes with big impact?| Learnlets

LXD may be an improved approach, but how do you learn it in useful ways to incorporate it in your practices?| Learnlets
I try not to commercialize this blog. It doesn’t cost, you can get ad free updates in your email, and of course it’s really for me ;). Still, once in a while there’s something I do want to draw your attention to. And, of course, you can stop here. However, I’ll suggest you at least give this a look. What I’m talking about are the whys and whats of an upcoming mini-scenario workshop I’ll be running on 9/11 from 11-3:30 ET. (Yes, I know, that date, but really, we don’t want to le...| Learnlets
While the whole process is important, I tend focus early on the process (and then the bigger picture). What about when we go beyond design?| Learnlets
When we do learning, we must be active. That is, it’s not enough to receive information. (Unless we’re actively practicing and attending presentations are reflection.) We must do! Then the question becomes one of doing ‘what’? I’m seeing too many of the wrong sorts of things in play, so it’s worth asking: what sorts of activities should we be doing?| Learnlets
Retrieval practice can be approximated with auto-marked activities, such as mini-scenarios. How about auto-marked generative activities?| Learnlets
I've talked about working with SMEs and the information you get, and about miniscenarios. What is the mapping of information to miniscenarios?| Learnlets
One of the things I’ve recognized is that we don’t pay enough attention to context. It turns out to be a really important factor in cognition, as our long-term memory interacts with the current context to determine our interpretation. And, as such, makes our interpretations very ’emergent’. Thus, our training needs to ensure that we’re liable to make the right interpretation and so choose the right action. Do we do this well? And can artificial intelligence (AI), specifically genera...| Learnlets
Bad questions are not the answer to move from knowledge to performance. What is needed? Let's look at the types of questions we ask.| Learnlets
Human in the loop has several problems, most notably the lack of specifics. Is 'expert in the loop better? I argue the case.| Learnlets
I've advocated that even for rote knowledge you should make meaningful practice. I've now found research that supports me!| Learnlets
On the way to the recent Up To All Of Us unconference (#utaou), I hadn’t planned a personal agenda. However, I was going through the diagrams that I’d created on my iPad, and discovered one that I’d frankly forgotten. Which was nice, because it allowed me to review it with fresh eyes, and it resonated. […]| Learnlets
Learning should be active. So what sorts of activities do we need? Generative and retrieval 'for use', is what the research says.| Learnlets
Where's the intelligence in gen AI? Is it in the AI? Or our use of it? The locus of intelligence is still with us.| Learnlets
Increasingly, our work at many levels is about thinking. Folks approach it from different perspectives, so what and why cognitive science?| Learnlets
How do you get the necessary grounding to be the L&D practitioner you could and should be? Introducing the Learning Science Conference 2024.| Learnlets
There's a lot of talk about AI, but there's smoke as well as fire. Here, I present a brief AI overview that hopefully provides some clarity.| Learnlets
