How do we describe the emerging multi-channel and multi-modal learning ecosystem? It’s not just mobile (which it might be), it’s not necessarily screen-based (although it can be), and it is not necessarily divorced from physical reality (but it certainly can be).
The new enterprise learning landscape as made up of a complex mix of many streams of learning content and experiences, a myriad of digital devices for interacting with learning materials, layers of infrastructure, platforms, and operating systems, and a variety of new tools to help make it all work together. To use information pioneer Ted Nelson’s delightful word, our learning technologies are "intertwingled," and rarely can they be separated out into single technology solutions.
In this talk, Dr. Gary Woodill unravels some of the complexities around the use of new digital technologies to understand what we need to know in order to effectively plan and deliver enterprise learning and development services over the next few years.
Gary identifies nine different clusters of strategies that can be used in learning and development that were simply not available in the days of learning in classrooms, and shows how instructional designers can combine these strategies for unique and personalized approaches to training.
