Designing Learning Experiences & Process - Scott Arbuthnot

Content is abundant. Learning is less so because content needs deliberately designed experiences and process to sustain new behaviours. If presenting content was the answer, TED Talks would have saved the world years ago.

In this highly interactive session, Scott will share shapes and nested loops to design learning experiences and processes to multiply the outcomes and impacts of your content. This active session gives participants ready to use:

+ ways to extract maximum engagement and value from virtual platforms
+ complex facilitation methods to make voices equal and draw meaning from groups
+ longer term process design methods for experiential, reflective, collaborative and cohort/community enhanced learning

Impactful social and digital learning

Always focusing on our learners and their needs means we must seek to provide learning which is the right solution, for the right problem, for the right people, at the right time, for the right reasons, delivered in the right way. Consequently, we need to be ready to provide learning which embraces the best of face-to-face, social and digital learning solutions, as any one or indeed all of these may be the solution to the problem you are solving with learning. Such breadth can feel difficult, especially if we have come from a traditional in-person training background. Michelle Parry-Slater helps L&Ders feel confident in moving away from what we know and hold dear in learning towards interventions that modern learners and their organisations need.

In this session, let Michelle walk alongside you, as you embrace the best of social and digital learning in a way that feels natural and evolutionary.
