Though I would share this sketchnote summary of my Stories for Learning talk.

Nice piece here from @LearnJamTweets about #COP27 nice to tools like @7tapsHq used for this sort of awareness raising around issues like #climate app.7taps.com/l5OWSO2Ot0

Happy Online Learning Day People! While it's easy to be cynical about online learning it does have enormous potential to improve access to learning. Aslo there really is a day for everything! #onlinelearning nationaldaycalendar.com/national-onlin…

Do you agree with @bobbyhollywood and friends that it is a great time to be in L&D? Is L&D really better, more appealing or rewarding now than it was in the past? open.spotify.com/episode/4GljS7…

This from 4 years ago when being inspired by Netflix did necessary mean wanting to be a "Netflix of Learning". What industries or organisations should we in L&D be inspired by in 2022? hrmagazine.co.uk/content/news/t…

Interesting piece suggesting that for impact virtual beats in-person training events. Worth a read, even if I think, and as they acknowledge later in the piece, they are actually identifying the value of spreading learning out vs. a single intervention. fastcompany.com/90740874/this-…

A little sad that Goldfish and attention spans didn't make this list of Educational myths

@SeanBrownHRTech Enjoyed this, I felt that your advice to move around early in your career had a lot of value. I am not early in my career, but recently changed industries, now wish I had moved around more previously.

@qomenius Doesn't it really depend on the intent and the circumstances? Sometimes Storytelling would be the better option, sometimes it wouldn't. That doesn't make it any less valid as a way to form connections, especially within and with groups.

@qomenius Firstly, thanks for describing me, and anyone else who believes in Storytelling as a tool for sharing and connection, as a manipulator. Secondly, isn't the same true of conversation and dialogue, a manipulator would claim they were the authentic forms of connection.

@qomenius @pattishank @elearnindustry Thank you, one of these days I might get around to writing the blog it was supposed to go with it...

@LearnBroccoli @pattishank @elearnindustry You have a great Twitter handle, by the way!

Interesting perspective on Micro-Learning. Seems harsh after all a lot of what #learningdevelopment folks do is about supporting performance! Micro-Learning can be right intervention even if it doesn't produce the "kind" of person you think you want.

@qomenius @pattishank @elearnindustry Okay I will bite, what are "real challenges"? If we are ruling out out mundane things like helping people to do their job, get paid and have less stress.

@LearnBroccoli @pattishank @elearnindustry True. Cause "a little piece of knowledge" isn't much at all, in an age of complexity, is it? Knowledge (large & small) can be transmitted through books, YouTube, Google search & stuff. Why do we need #EdTech for that at all? We should create/use #EdTech for the real challenges.

@qomenius @pattishank @elearnindustry Which you manage to make that sound like a bad thing.

@LearnBroccoli @pattishank @elearnindustry So I think we agree that micro-learning may be fine for transmission of knowledge. But probably nothing beyond that.

@qomenius @pattishank @elearnindustry As an example of where I think it fits, I am currently developing training for a SalesForce launch, an element of it will be what I think of as "micro-learning". Supporting new users to complete required processes with in-context material.

@qomenius The performance thing is a fair question, it may depend on how you define "Mirco-Learning. I found this article by @pattishank for @elearnindustry from 2018 balanced, interesting and well referenced. elearningindustry.com/microlearning-…

@mylesrun So what happens if the artificially generated content ends up being primarily consumed by Bots?

@DanielPeak16 I think I worked for that manager

I usually use Hemingway, Grammarly, and Wordtune Editor if I need help or inspiration in writing. Today I tried simplish.org/- I do not recommend this one. "managers must give at one's death carefully worked designs"!
