Most trainers, learning designers, and leaders focus on teaching "happy incidents." However, according to Tim Ryan Seratt, for every happy incident, there are probably 10 or more "unhappy" incidents at work.
These unhappy incidents comprise of unexpected issues, conflicts from knowledge, deviations from policies, absence of clear guidance, gaps in understanding goals, and many others. In this conversation, Tim will lead a discussion highlighting the following topics:
Let's make this conversation highly interactive. Please post your advanced ideas, such as questions, insights, and practices in determining happy and unhappy incidents, and how to turn it to learning moments. Register and click “Pre-Session.”

Success at work and in learning ought to be simultaneous or parallel, and should be working in tandem. Unfortunately, work and learning are so distant from each other so it is difficult to measure success in real life.

Sometimes, webinar facilitation feels like you’re in NIRVANA - engaging, fun, flawless; or in the ABYSS - sucking, awful, as if you are dying.
In spite of these varying swings, you can still find the best facilitation method and technique by using the Engagement Matrix for Webinar Facilitation ®. This Matrix helps you decide what mix of content and interaction brings your learners to nirvana or what combination to avoid so learners do not go into the abyss.  Join our conversation. Before the sessions, you can experience the Engagement Matrix for Webinar Facilitation ® and download a reference article. Please share your facilitation methods and examples, make comments in the Pre-Session Activity, and submit questions in advance so we can all dig deeper into our discussion. I look forward to having you participate in our conversation. Join us!  Ray

Many who are rushing to be experts on the technical side of webinars and virtual presentations “kill” their learners through boredom and meaningless ideas. Sadly, a key reason is that we tend to focus on technologies and delivery of content, making us forget that our learners expect to be inspired and wowed by the facilitator or presenter.

Different learners have different levels of understanding – from fundamental modules for newbies to the advanced microlearning for experienced users.
How do you achieve a combination of wonderful training and continuous learning to meet these diverse learners’ needs? What is an efficient and effective development approach to design, reuse, and deliver training and reference materials across user communities? In this session, we are very pleased to be joined by Cleon McClure, eLearning Developer / Communications Specialist from the healthcare company BD (https://www.bd.com/en-us). Together with Cleon, we will share with ideas, methods and tools that allow workers to keep on learning while on the job to support continuous learning. We are also excited to share personal experiences and answer your advance questions. Please share your continuous learning methods and examples, make comments in the Pre-Session Activity, and submit questions in advance so we can all dig deeper in our discussion. I look forward to having you in our conversation. Join us! Ray

Most instructional videos we see are produced in a linear format – filled with talking heads with the goal of dumping so much content on the audience. Even if the videos have the razzle-dazzle – they remain boring and meaningless if they do not translate to usefulness and learning.
How do we make these videos interactive and relevant to our learners? How do we make videos that will move our learners? In our next VignettesLABS conversation, we will see and observe a few examples on how to create and select engaging videos, and add interaction to make sure they are practical and functional to the learners. Let us amplify our exchange of ideas. Submit your example videos and making comments in the Pre-Session Activity. Should you have any questions, please send them in advance so we can discuss it more deeply. I look forward to having you in our conversation. Join us! Ray

This week, in our deep conversation, let’s continue talking about your questions and projects. Please post them before the session.
We will also be discussing about “How to Deal with Implementation Conundrums.” Our leaders and stakeholders expect us to introduce creative and innovative improvements in our learning projects, but doing so is an uphill battle against the status quo. Change is not easily accepted. Share your success stories and also your frustrations. Perhaps we can help each other to find solutions.

We all want to accelerate learning by adding experiences to our “instruction lessons.” The trouble is that, most of the time, “instruction lessons” (telling exact answers) and experience lessons (finding solutions at work) are not always compatible.
In this next conversation webinar, we will discuss how to connect “instruction lessons” and experience lessons through using conduits - also known as the “connectors”, “headers and footers”, “couplers”, and “extenders” of your training program. These conduits extend the investment you are making in “instruction lessons” into real-work experiences. We will show examples and some steps in creating learning conduits. Our conversation will cover the following topics:
Let us amplify our exchange of ideas. IMPORTANT - complete the “My Scaling Capability” Exercise before the session. This will help you prepare for the session. Should you have any questions, please send them in advance so we can discuss it more deeply. Should you have any questions, please send them in advance so we can discuss it more deeply.
