S02 EP05: ILXD Dimensions – Interactions
Adventures in Learning Design
02/02/22 • 34 min
Martin Bloomfield joins us again for yet another fascinating foray into neurodiversity and learning design. We discuss the differences between learning ‘input’ and what ‘output’ is expected from learners, why it’s so important to identify neurodivergence early in a learner’s life, and who’s responsible for ensuring learning is more inclusive. Martin also introduces us to a new acronym – PERDISOMOLO – and invites us to imagine we were wombats! (Stick with it – he’s making a very important point!) This episode is the last in our Season 2 mini-series focusing on inclusive learning design (ILXD).

S02 EP03: ILXD Dimensions – The Environment
Adventures in Learning Design
12/07/21 • 57 min
How can a learner's environment – physical or digital – affect the inclusivity of learning design (ILXD)? Special guest Runna Badwan talks to us about the need to adapt techniques and approaches for learners in different contexts, the risk of making assumptions about learners' knowledge of digital technologies and how teachers and learners can thrive even in particularly challenging environments.

S02 EP02: ILXD Dimensions – The Learner
Adventures in Learning Design
11/23/21 • 33 min
In this episode, we explore one very important factor in inclusive learning design (ILXD) – the learners themselves.
Special guest Martin Bloomfield talks to us about the unspoken norms and assumptions that influence how we conceptualize learning, why assessment fails to capture what all learners can really do, and how someone's early experiences of school can affect their sense of self-efficacy and motivation to learn throughout their life.

EP. 14 - Learning through text messages
Adventures in Learning Design
06/11/21 • 49 min
In this episode we have a scintillating conversation with Rachel Nemeth, CEO of New York-based startup Opus. Opus is a digital platform that delivers text message courses to deskless workers, and LearnJam has been working with them recently to develop the learning design and content for some of those courses.
We talked about where the inspiration for Opus came from, what exactly it is and how it works. We also hear Rachel's take on what makes for effective SMS-based learning and why she thinks it's so valuable and important for deskless or frontline workers.

EP. 13 - Storyboarding
Adventures in Learning Design
03/23/21 • 35 min
One of the key tools we use to design online courses is storyboarding. It involves getting all of the people who are involved in the development of the online course together to create a visual map of the flow of a course. We use this storyboard to identify gaps, opportunities to do interesting things, and to make sure the whole thing is actually helping learners to achieve their goals.
In this episode, Tim and Laurie speak to Lucy Williams from the LearnJam team about how we use this process and why it works so well. We also share some tips and ideas for how to storyboard remotely.
EP. 12 - Inclusive Learning Design
Adventures in Learning Design
03/09/21 • 48 min
Tim and Laurie talk to fellow LearnJammers Laura Patsko and Lucy Williams about an Innovate UK project we are working on to develop and share best practices in inclusive online learning.
In our conversation, we covered:
- how the rush to online learning in response to the pandemic has exacerbated pre-existing exclusion issues
- how we've developed our understanding of what exclusion means
- our approach to developing a framework and set of tools to help raise awareness of inclusive learning design
- how the project has had an impact on LearnJam as an organisation
EP. 11 - Agile
Adventures in Learning Design
02/09/21 • 47 min
In this episode, Tim and Laurie speak to Jo Sayers, fellow co-founder of LearnJam, about how (and why) he uses Agile product development methodologies to develop digital learning products and solutions.
We thought it'd be great to have a chat with Jo to find out a bit more about his approach and to see what advice he has for anyone looking to learn more about Agile and how it can be put into practice.
In our conversation, we covered:
- What Agile actually is and what an Agile project looks like.
- How to manage a backlog and why it's important.
- What makes a good user story and how to write one.
- Why we use Agile in our Learning Design projects.
- The challenges of applying Agile, and some pro tips.
