I wish I'd attended the Data Storytelling & Learning Analytics workshop organized by Roberto Martinez-Maldonado in Kyoto, Japan this wk. I have a novel learning analytics app in my head & I'm thinking about dashboard design. What should feature on a good learner dashboard (& how/why)?

Agree wholeheartedly. Extending this to adult learning, how many distractions, including your phone, are around when you “focus” on that online course you’re taking?

When designing learning experiences, we often need to take the word 'learning' with a pinch of salt. For much learning to be successful, esp. when it comes to behavioural change or procedural learning, we also need to explicitly teach how to 'unlearn' stuff. Habit memories have

If we want to make our learning experiences go from good to great we need to know the truth. Feedback can feel brutal, but if delivered well, it will make ALL the difference… not just for you, but for all your learners.

Want to increase your course/training uptake? Rethink where you 'place' your learning. Most courses are placed in learning management systems. Yet many potential learners aren't proactively looking for courses. Instead, place your learning when and where people need it - in

Good data viz tips for when we share our learning analytics data with others. Particularly appreciate the decluttering advice.

The world is not the same without this brilliant mind in it, but I will miss his big heart even more

When you take a data-driven approach to continuously improve your courses and training, you are also optimising your return on investment (and feel good factor 🥳 )

Many organisations measure the cost per learning hour. We need to rethink this. Instead, measure the impact per learning hour.

Will definitely be watching this. Recommend

Just out… this research story doesn’t surprise me - learning is complex and this complexity isn’t accounted for in so-called gold-standard measures, eg RCTs, meta analyses. This doesn’t mean research isn’t valuable. Quite the opposite! But we need to consider alternative

Agree social proof is vital but hard data is even more compelling… that’s why my startup is focusing on learning analytics and impact

Just been (re)listening to Daniel Kahneman interviews / podcasts. "Any collaboration is ultimately flawed." "The concept of climate change and what to do about it is too complex for a human brain to compute." "We're all complex." And reminders of his seminal research into

Today I watched a longer version of this on National Geographic online magazine (recommended). Inspiration can come from anywhere. Just didn’t expect it today to come from an emperor penguin chick jumping off a 50 ft cliff!!

Thoroughly recommend attending the Learning Technologies conference at ExCel London if you want to know the latest in L&D. Attended yesterday and met lots of fantastic folk, brands, and tech. The Exhibition is free and on today. learningtechnologies.co.uk

AI is a massive disruptor, much of it good, & therefore we place a lot of trust in AI. But let's remember that data drives (most) AI - and we too need to trust the data. Yet the data underlying learning and development in most organisations is woefully inadequate. If we want

Sana’s AI Summit 2024 has a great line up of forward thinkers. I’ve signed up to listen to dome of the keynotes. Below is the link. Donald Clark this could be your thing? sanalabs.com/events/sana-ai…

They say: “Do one thing, everyday, that scares you.” Pushing our boundaries is a great way to progress and learn. What one scary thing will you do today?
