S2 | E8 Sales Enablement with Karen Sanderson
Sales Enablement is the most exciting area where LnD professionals can work based on my experience. It has the best salaries, and IDs supporting it need be well versed in performance support practices rather than course making. This week I talked to Karen Sanderson who has been a leader in this field that started at the turn of this century. Karen share some important nuances about what sales enablement does, the processes and the technologies supporting it.

S2|E7 eLearning Origins with Anna Sabramowicz
eLearning has been a beacon of innovation since its rudimentary beginnings in the 70s with Don Bitzer's PLATO system, then transitioning to PC use with Michael Allen's Authorware. There's no one better I could have had this conversation than the always innovating and inspiring Anna Sabramowicz. She was one the first eLearning developers in look up to and still admire on a daily basis. Anna stopped by to have a wonderfully candid conversation about the craft of developing eLearning courses.
Interesting note: We talked about Michael Allen's ZebraZapps and guess what? It seems like it's still around [insert eyes looking left emoji]

S2|E6 Soft Skills Enablement with Ioanna Mantzouridou Onasi
Literally, the term "soft skills" can be traced to the U.S. Army efforts after creating its Human Resource Research Organization aka HumRRO. However, upon close inspection you may find that the context in which it was examined in 1972 does not mirror what is mostly understood today as soft skills. My guest in this exciting episode is Ioanna Mantzouridou Onasi, an entrepreneurial woman, CEO and co-founder of the Dextego platform. Dextego is an soft skills training and coaching tool that uses ai to provide personalized feedback for team leaders.

S2:E5 Change Management with Dr. Mandolen Mull
Not many people can handle change at work, and then even less people can fathom drastic changes in their life. Dr. Mandolen Mull's story of personal change seems like a godsend since she was already studying the science of change. This is the most impactful episode I have ever experienced and Mandolen is just an inspiration to everyone. She's living proof of the power we all have to transform into the best adaptations of our potential.

Maslow's Hierarchy is Not a Hierarchy? S2E1
Abraham Maslow (1908-1970) was an American psychologist well known for his work on the Theory of Motivation from which, the Hierarchy of Needs was established. The reality is that he never placed the needs in a pyramid and the order of the needs is not a fixed hierarchy.

Voiceover for Learning with Kerri Acheson and David Goldberg S2E2
Since the invention of the radio by Guglielmo Marconi, audio became an essential medium in the way we communicate and learn. Marconi's "wireless telegraph" was just the beginning as other names like Reginald Fessenden expanded the use of radio waves in the early 1900s. Today, we have audio as a very popular format in the way of podcasts and audio conversations in social media. This StyleLearn Origins episode had professional voice actor Kerri Acheson and studio owner as well as celebrity director David Goldberg chat with me about the craft of voiceover.

Instructional Design Models Dr. Tonia Dousay (#020)
Instructional Design (ID) models are visual representations of the ID process grounded in theoretical frameworks. One ID model that gave birth to the Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation (ADDIE) process is the Interservice Procedures for Instructional Systems Development or IPISD model. Although there are many ID models and only a few seem to be in use in workplace learning today. In this episode, Dr. Tonia Dousay has co-authored published several editions for the Survey of Instructional Design Models which is a great resource to learn about ID models. She and I had a thoughtful discussion about the evolution of ID models from behavioral to systemic approaches to training. We looked at which models can fit better for a particular context and many other interesting facts about them.

Human Performance Technology with Guy Wallace #019
Human Performance Technology or HPT is the use of science and tools to enable performance in the workplace. It goes beyond course development and it comes out of the Golden Era of Systems Approach to Training (SAT) in the 70s. There are several authors to recognize out of a time where instructional systems design reached is most advanced practice. Guy Wallace has been an HPT practitioner for about 45+ years and we explore some of the influences that led to such impactful practice in Learning and Development.

Learning Experience Design with Matthew Schmidt #018
In today's episode I had a great conversation with Matthew Schmidt, Associate Professor of EdTech at University of Florida. Matt has been leading efforts on establishing standards for Instructional Design (ID) and leads the research and practice of Learning Experience Design or LXD. The LXD monicker as been rejected by many and embraced by some. In many contexts, LXD gets conflated with ID, so this episode brings clarity to the discussion of this practice from its various self-proclaimed pundits.

#017 UbD and Backwards Design
In 1998, educators Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe published the book Understanding by Design (UbD) and within it the Backwards Design (BD) model. Since then, they have revolutionized the way school systems, particularly teachers, approach curriculum planning. The model consists of three stages known as: Identifying desired results, determining acceptable evidence, and plan learning experiences and instruction. In recent years, many corporate learning professionals have advocated for the use of Backwards Design inspired by the famous Stephen R. Covey quote "Begin with the end in mind". This episode focuses on the documented evidence for the use of this model, its value and purpose for workplace learning.

#016 The Myth of 70 20 10 Learning Model
In its long trajectory to try to improve itself from a school-based methodology, training departments have been attractive by various ideas the promote informal learning over anything else. The 70:20:10 framework/model is one of these ideas which stems from 1980s research by the Center for Creative Leadership. I wrote before about this topic during a time where LinkedIn was buzzing with discussions about its effectiveness. The true purpose of this model was a representation based on a qualitative study of successful senior executives and their take on the major influences on their success. Then, there have been quite popular mentions of this approach by well known practitioners in the private field but no substantial research evidence to supported as it has been claimed on the Internet.

#015 Instructional Comics with Kevin Thorn
Comics are a form of visual language that has captured the imaginations of many since the early 1830s. Of course, one can think of visual language far predating the 19th century with Egyptian, Greek, Roman civilizations. However, the comic is a force of its own and turns out, comics have been influential in several instructional scenarios since the 1940s. Today, we explore the world of comics and instruction with Kevin Thorn, a visual storyteller, instructional designer, eLearning developer, Director of Development at Artisan E-Learning, and Chief NuggetHead at NuggetHeadz Studioz. Kevin has been a good friend of mine in the industry and we had a deep meaningful conversation about the power of comics in instruction.

#014 What is Micro-Learning?
The concept of Micro-Learning has been extremely popular in recent years but did you know it emerged as a strategy for human resources in 1963? Since then, many researchers have expounded on this concept and its methodology. The common theme to remember is that it's not about the length of the learning experience but rather the attainment of a single skill. This episode takes a quick look into related concepts like Micro-Storage, Micro-Retrieval, and how Micro-Learning should be implemented based on its foundational principles.

#013 Lessons from Dale's Cone of Experience
Edgar Dale was a prominent proponent of the use of instructional media for better learning experiences. His 1946 book Audiovisual Methods in Teaching, presents the Cone of Experience, an audiovisual instructional model. Dale's Cone of Experience (CoE) is a visual representation of different types of learning experiences, arranged in the form of a cone. The cone consists of various levels of learning experiences, ranging from low-level experiences such as reading and listening to high-level experiences such as direct, hands-on participation. As anything else in the education and instructional design spheres, The CoE has been misunderstood and misrepresented by many in the Internet, turning it into a learning retention model for it which was never supposed to represent. This episode breaks down the real intent and value of Dale's CoE.

#012 The Role of Interest in Learning
What drives you to learn more? What is a hobby or skill not related to work or school that you can do really well? Why does that happen? Ever asked yourself these questions? More likely than not, a secret force sparked by curiosity took you "there", and maybe that force is interest. In this episode, we take a look at the early observations by educators and theorists about the role of interest in our learning process.

#010 Psychometrics and Personality Tests with Dr. Nathan Thompson
Psychometrics is the the art and science of intellectual and cognitive measuring. It has heavily influenced our academic, military and corporate performance prediction practices but it also has a deep, dark past related to the practice of Eugenics. I had a very insightful conversation with guest Dr. Nathan Thompson who holds a PhD in Psychometrics and is the CEO/Co-founder of Assessment Systems. Did you know Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and other personality tests may not have much scientific substance in the field of Pyschometrics? Learn how this field has evolved in this episode.

#009 The Truth About Andragogy with Lisa Sandonato
From the times of Aristotle, Plato, Socrates, to the publishing of The Adult Learner: The Neglected Species in 1973 by Malcolm Knowles, there are several takes on the meaning of adult education. So who was the first person to bring up the need for andragogy aka adult learning, and who were the real pioneers of andragogy before Knowles. This episode of StyleLearn origins takes a deep dive into adult learning theory and it's a lively discussion with podcast guest Lisa Sandonato , Instructional Design and L&D consultant.

#008 Training Evaluation Models
The need to evaluate the effectiveness of knowledge transfer predates the Kirkpatrick Four Levels by at least 20 years. From the need to observe workers performing tasks well after instruction, Ralph Tyler's 1930s eight-year study of curriculum evaluation to Raymond Katzell's papers on responsive evaluation; the interest on evaluating learning results has been there. However, the most known model is Donald Kirkpatrick's (1924-2014) Four Levels of Training Evaluation. The evolutions of that model by Jack Phillips ROI Framework along with the New World Kirkpatrick model by James Kirkpatrick and Wendy Kayser give better guidance today on what to consider in training evaluations.

#007 From ADDIC to ADDIE
The Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation (ADDIE) process is the center component in the Interservice Procedures for Instructional Systems Design or IPISD Model. It's composed of five volumes addressing each phase in the process and originally was set to have the last phase labeled as Control which focused on quality control and process improvement. This is a model and process every instructional designer should know as all subsequent models are influenced by it. The first mention of ADDIE was captured in an Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) quote of General William Depuy alluding to the adoption of a Systems Approach to Training (SAT) approach to military instruction.

#006 The Truth About Bloom's Taxonomy
The Taxonomy of Educational Objectives aka Bloom's Taxonomy is a classification system created by college examiners and led by Dr. Benjamin Bloom in 1956. Its purpose was to classify educational objectives for test items that can be exchangeable among educators. There were many forces that inspire Bloom's epiphany at the American Psychology Association Convention of 1948 to gather with colleagues and propose the idea. Turns out, illiteracy was rampant at the beginning of World War II, and teacher shortages were high due to the need of workers to support the war effort.

On this episode, I'm joined by Dan Hirt, a Canadian learning professional with a decade of experience providing learning solutions, and also host of the Mosby Learning podcast. Dan and I look at different views on the subject of learning styles, where does it come from and how can it be helpful for learning design.

#004 Learning Objectives
Educational or learning objectives have been a point of contention between teachers, educators and curriculum theorists. Most conversations in corporate learning about learning objectives often start with Bloom's Taxonomy, however, the work of Ralph W. Tyler precedes the original taxonomy by more than 20 years and gives us key insights on the importance of objectives in systemic instructional design.

#003 The Training Within Industry Program
What does the iconic Rosie the Riveter, the "J" programs,WWII and Lean methodology have in common? From 1940-1945, the United States had the benefit of establishing the Training Within Industry or TWI program. This program was led by industry executives C.R. Dooley, Walter Dietz, M.J. Kane and Glenn Gardiner who helped the World War II production effort. The evidence seen in the literature from this era shows early samples of models resembling the Analyze, Design, Develop, Implementation, and Evaluation (ADDIE) framework, job instruction cards or job aids, and performance-based training objectives templates. In this episode we explore the influence of TWI on today's practices and key lessons all business managers should heed to.

#002 The Analysis of Training Needs
The difference between an Instructional Designer and a content developer is in the capacity to analyze the need for training. Many of the problems encountered in the workplace are often not the result of lack of training or solved with training efforts. Luckily, we have a long trajectory of good practices beginning with Job Breakdown Lists from 1919 and the Training Within Industry (TWI) movement in the 1940s. Educational Psychologists like Robert Gagne also addressed the issue of job task analysis and even Thomas F. Gilbert, Robert Mager, and Robert Branson include variations of analysis approaches leading to the birth of ADDIE and Human Performance Technology or HPT. In this episode of StyleLearn Origins, we look at needs analyses involving the need for training, job/tasks, and target audience analysis.

#001 The Instructor, The Man, and The Job: The Legacy of CR Allen to Training and Development
Most histories of corporate training or Learning and Development as it is known today, are missing the most detailed account of the establishment of modern training practices in history. The United States entered World War I late in 1917 and the war was over a little over a year after that. The shipyard building efforts were a big reason why the war ended and the training practices forged during this period were the work of Charles Ricketson Allen better known as CR Allen who was a prominent vocational educator and MIT graduate. CR Allen captured systemic instructional and best training practices still followed today during his time as part of the Emergency Fleet Corporation war effort. In this episode, I discuss the events that led to Mr. Allen's involvement and key highlights of training and development practices from his book The Instructor, the Man, and the Job.
