Congratulations, Tom! Great energy, and it’s fantastic to see you back! 🤩 I’m interested in learning about new tools for instructional design, as it’s been tricky to keep up with all the developments. (I’ve drifted in a slightly different direction workwise🙂)
Today my Blinkist app showed I was in the top 1% of users in August (the prior month). I haven't even listened to it the past few days. Other people are paying $70ish for a yearly subscription and not using it?
Does get getabstract allow you to listen speeded up? I do Blinkist right now. I've listened to about a 1000 summaries. I think they have 7000 and they gave a free second account that I gave to my brother. I also like that there's some music in the narration sometimes and they also have famous books through history. Maybe if I finish the 7000ish books on Blinkist I'll consider getabstract.
Not big on the topic in all honesty. I've seen actual games have an impact, btu the gamification of business related content has always fallen short in my experience. The book itself is eprfectly well written, just not something I would recommend time be spent on.
I needed this video… thank you for the reassurance. I’m currently a trainer for a company and former teacher. I studied learning theories extensively in two separate programs - credential and masters. Saw my company just opened an ID role and I met all the qualifications on paper, but they want someone who has advanced experience using articulate. I shared I was learning it in my own time and have experience using related software in my masters (captivate). I hope I can find a role in a company that will train in articulate with the background I can bring to an ID role.
You will totally get organisations that think this way, but to my mind, it;s a red flag that they don;t want an ID, they want a developer. Same thing with the hyperfixation on portfolios over the last few years. Should you ahve one, yes, will i hire someone based off it, no. Just like CVs before them, they are not an accurate measure of potential. (Slightly different if you're freelance, but still.) Gld the video landed with you, let me know if there's anything i can help with.
The human brain often underestimates future commitments and time requirements, leading us to believe we have more time than we actually do. Her ar some tips from my personal experience (with Canada country manager ) for Key Steps for Planning and Implementing an Annual Corporate Training Plan: 1. Calculate Annual Metrics with the key people. (the P&L Managers): - Total days in a year: 365 - Subtract weekends, public holidays, vacation, and estimated sick days to get real working days. 2. Calculate and agree forecasted Real Training Days: - maybe 68 to 90 days available for training.(AT BEST) 3. Plan and Negotiate with Client: - Use these calculations to propose and finalize the annual training plan with your clients. Detect seasonality to prioritise order fo delivery of topics. - Include Plan B for delays to ensure smooth implementation. Doing this this, you establish yourself as a trusted partner, ensuring that training plans are realistic and achievable.
Some great ideas here. Well done! However, how does this work with accessibility? Without the headers in some of those sections, it will present issues with screen readers.
Great tutorial indeed but i had a problem while installing the production : npm install --production npm WARN config production Use `--omit=dev` instead. npm WARN EBADENGINE Unsupported engine { npm WARN EBADENGINE package: 'adapt_authoring@0.11.3', npm WARN EBADENGINE required: { node: '16 || 18' }, npm WARN EBADENGINE current: { node: 'v20.13.1', npm: '10.5.2' } npm WARN EBADENGINE } [#########.........] | idealTree: timing idealTree Completed in 567ms It progresses until the mid and then stopped halfway. I was waiting for almost an hour but still same. I've restarted the system, re-run the production install but in vein. Anybody know what went wrong?
I have always operated on the available and easy to activate. This then shifts to become a UI consideration. Another great solution is to make sure they if the user activated CCs on one video, all other videos have them on automatically.
Hadn't seen this 'til someone pointed me to it (explaining why they want to link); great advice! Very pragmatic, and yes, understanding basics is more important than any particular tool. Not least because the tools are oriented towards approaches that are more 'easy' than 'right', having that background will allow you to use the tools to do the 'right' thing. Appreciate the mention, too.
Hi Chris... two questions come to mind. 1. Where is the website that documents available APIs? This is a 8:45 ... url? (Having trouble seeing it in the video.) 2. Should we consider cross domain issues... I am wondering if there are firewalls to take into account and if there is a data blockage, what should I tell exactly to my IT department to white list it and that it is safe to use?
This is fun, though I'm sorry I missed the live session! For the time management challenge (before I hear your suggestions!): - For me, it really helped to connect with my team-mates on our one-to-one and figure out why they were facing issues in the first place. In most cases it wasn't because of a personality trait but because of overwhelm and overload, so we had to work on delegating projects, tasks, and making space for them to breathe. - In some cases, it helped to explore techniques to help them focused, such as timeboxing, and setting up a trial period to check back on. - For quality issues, we looked at strengths and areas of improvement, and typically quality issues happened when one team member was trying to help others to alleviate their load, instead of focusing on their own tasks. - Training can sometimes take too much time (external trainings can be hours-long!) and it becomes counter-productive. I'll post this comments and add more for the next challenges.
Incredible software! The learning world will finally be able to put out good content and not just a few text pieces and flip cards! I will be using Kwantic in my work for sure!
Thank you. It really is all down to those willing to give their time as speakers, they bring the value, I just scaffold the experience. Thank you for supporting IDTX :)
Great video Tom. Very helpful - we've been contemplating on using internal podcasts for some of our technical and procedural awareness mods instead of 'read-n-understands'. Keep up the great shares and look forward to the conference next week.
@@InstructionalDesignTips thank you so much for your reply. So, I can not import my own SCORM package in Adapt, right? I mean a SCORM that I created using other tools.
I have just stumbled upon this video now, as part of my very long list of Instructional Design videos. I'm such an admirer of Amanda's work already, it's no surprise this video is so good. I know this was 2 years ago, but it really feels like I hit a streak of gold here. Thank you both for creating such awesome content. As I saw the pieces Amanda was showcasing, I was thinking, yes, that is exactly what I want to be doing. I hope I can get there.
