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. This is an exclusive session for Vignettes LABS members, clients and friends. The format follows a casual conversation, with an open exchange of ideas, discussion of your questions and projects, and sharing of resources. This is NOT a webinar presentation.

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.

“I’d love to add stories and storytelling in my lessons, but they are long, tedious, and hard to do, not counting the fact that it’s costly.”
Today we are bombarded by multiple stimuli from all forms of media. Studies have shown that we are most likely to respond best to news, social media, and lessons that are hard-hitting and present vivid stories. We jump and respond quickly to the content, immersing ourselves in the story. Hyper-stories are today’s rapid medium of communication. The challenge is: how do we, as trainers, designers and developers, and subject matter experts (SMEs), use the most important part of the story to catapult our learning lessons into the minds of our learners? Topics to cover:

Microlearning lessons possess unique features to ensure faster and easier learning at the least cost possible. Unfortunately, most designers and developers are accustomed to delivering “content-centric” learning instead of “instant-usefulness-centric” training. The “instant-usefulness-centric” approach is lightweight, portable and rapidly accessible for within-the-workflow problem solving and improvements.
In our conversation, you will learn how to construct essential Microlearning Tools including: Flashcards, Micro-Actions, Instant Maps and Sample Rules Support. Topics to cover:

When technical and software training involve face-to-face interactions and manipulating equipment, it becomes burdensome due to the need for tactile and kinesthetic experiences. Although webinars and virtual training are digital, they provide ample opportunities to add realism and for motor skills development. They act as the “go-between experiences” between physical experience and cognitive learning process.
Unfortunately, many designers, instructors, and trainers in technical and software subjects are stymied by the mindset that it is impossible to do technical training in webinar. There lies a tremendous amount of missed opportunities. In this session, you will learn:
During the session, get to experience the “5 Webinar LABs Models.”

In this time of pandemic and lockdowns, we see the sudden growth of WFH (Work From Home) workers. The increased level of social isolation has led most people to loneliness and frustrations. Consequently, it affects the workers’ productivity and their quality of life.
One of the common links between workers with other teams and leaders are their webinars and virtual sessions. However, the methods in ZOOM, WebEx, Adobe Connect and others only aggravate the “loneliness” of the learners. The presentation techniques are impersonal, stressful, time wasters, boring, and irrelevant. Adding socialization and meaningful conversations in webinars and virtual training does wonders in engaging learners and increasing their learning experiences. However, many are either unaware of this critical design and delivery skill or they just find it too difficult to implement. In this webinar, you will learn:
