Podcast #15: The Learner’s Voice

20110706-082639.jpg

If you’ve not already read my previous blog posts ‘Getting Beyond Bullet Points (visuals only)’, ‘Getting Beyond Bullet Points (with audio) and Bringing in the BackChannel then I’d strongly suggest having a read of them before you read any more of this post.

Why?

Well for 2 reasons really:

1. The earlier posts will provide you with the context behind this post.

2. The purpose of this specific post is to provide a brief audio summary of the actions that the attendees committed to, on leaving my session. By viewing the earlier posts in this series there is more likelihood that the attendees actions will make sense.

I have to admit that I wouldn’t usually take this approach for providing visibility of the attendees actions, much preferring to have the attendees create an AudioBoo or tweet their actions and then produce a Wordle from those responses, however the large number of attendees (60+) precluded the use of AudioBoo and the small number of tweeps would have had very little impact on a Wordle. What I was/am trying to show to presenters is how their presentation can still resonate days, if not weeks or even months after the live event by using methods such as this to keep the original message alive in the minds of those who attended and if you used a backchannel, perhaps even in the minds of those who did not physically attend.

Anyway, here’s the recording.

Podcast #12: Attention! Attention! Attention!

Craig missed Dr Chris Atherton‘s session at LT11, however the video recording of her session has provided him with inspiration and ideas ever since. This podcast scratches the surface of Chris’ specialism and hopefully provides you ‘Dear Listener’ with a few ideas (and maybe even a challenge) ahead of your next presentation.

Craig even starts to try and determine the origin of the word ‘logo’ and then gives up to the wisdom of Wikipedia!!!

Lisa had asked me to consider the duration of my podcasts as she had found anything 30mins+ to be too long. This married up with additional feedback I had received so we decided to ‘rattle through’ with a 20 minute(ish) podcast, which I think works quite well – but what do you think?

Would you have rather Lisa and I discussed things in a greater details but with a longer duration?

Or does the short ‘n’ sharp podcast work for you?

Why not let us know, via the comments box below?

Podcast #17: Bill Gates is calling!

I recently asked the good folks of Twitter this…

Help please! Pls send 1 tweet with any of the many eLearning methods that immediately spring to your mind. Pls RT

22 people responded and their suggestions formed this Wordle

As expected the usual suspects were mentioned numerous times, however simulations and games based activities were only mentioned by 1 person, so I thought I would have a chat with Chris Brannigan from Thinking Worlds about the possible reasons that for many people ‘simulations’ and ‘immersive environments’ don’t figure when it comes to suggesting elearning methods and how a new FREE authoring platform may be the ‘break in’ to the simulation world that many people are looking for.

Podcast #1: Action Mapping

In this, my first podcast, I am joined by a small number of my organisations elearning authors, Steven Mahay, Geoff Owens, Andrew Pilkington & Chris Hyndman to discuss an Action Mapping session that I had just facilitated. The purpose of the conversation was to further promote the thinking that elearning is not just the traditional ‘click-next’ type of elearning that many of us are used to and that podcasting is a relatively simple (and far quicker way of producing a learning resource) whilst also providing a period of reflection for the attendees themselves. The podcast was also a great learning curve for me as I had failed to set my Samson GoMic as the default recording device so I was reliant on the internal laptop speaker, hence the poor quality…. but I’ve learned my lesson and hope that you will join me in my next podcast in which I will have resolved my ‘teething problems’

Podcast #4: I wanna tell you a story(board)

This image is a close up of an attendee completing a storyboard.

Waaaaay back in the mists of time that was Learning Technologies 2010, I attended a workshop on the subject of storyboarding facilitated by @juliewedgwood.

This session came a little late in my ID career as I had spent the previous 6 months putting together rapid elearning module with NO storyboard process – oh well, better late than never!

I recently asked Julie to facilitate that session again with a number of my colleagues which culminated in them producing a podcast to reflect upon the session’s content and what they were going to do with it. Apologies for the sound quality in parts of this podcast, I was using a portable Zoom recorder for the very first time and should have practiced with it beforehand (as you’ll hear)
