Making Meaningful Learning Solutions with Clark Quinn
04/20/22 • 45 min
"You must ENGAGE your learners!" Have you heard anyone say that before?
Yep. Us too.
We've had a few guests talk about it on IDIODC in the past. And from those conversations we've learned about games, experiences, and making learning fun. But what, exactly, do we mean by creating "engaging learning"?
Dr. Clark Quinn joins us to talk about how we need to make our learning solutions meaningful to those experiencing them. He's well known for his writing on the science of learning and many other subjects. He wrote the book, "Learning Science for Instructional Designers". Dr. Quinn's next book, Make it Meaningful, focuses on how we Make it Meaningful.
He frames the first part of the book using a fishing metaphor:
"...the learners have to take the proverbial bait, becoming willing to start the experience. Then you need to reel them in, getting them from hook to net. It’s a matter of taking them through the experience successfully, carrying them through to the end of the experience, and achieving the outcomes."
He'll also share a design process you can all use to improve your learning solutions by Making it Meaningful.

The Rise of Web3 for L&D with Myra Roldan
Blockchain, NonFungible Tokens, Crypto, ethereum, and other terms are making their way into L&D. Welcome to Learning3: The L&D version of Web3. Nobody has any idea what it is, but we might as well start calling it what we always call these evolutions when they hit our industry.
All joking aside, now is a really good time to start having these conversations. L&D may not feel any real impact of Web3 for another 5 years or more, but some in our industry have already started experimenting with these new technologies.
Myra Roldan joins us as a guide in this important conversation. In her last appearance on IDIODC she shared a game she was creating that teaches about Blockchain. But in that conversation we talked a lot about the game and blockchain. In this conversation we'll attempt to cover a the larger topic of Web3. We'll talk about what Web3 is today...as far as we know, and how it works.
Nobody knows what the future holds but we definitely know enough to start this conversation and discuss potential L&D considerations, use cases, and why we should even care.
Tune in for this important conversation and I promise we'll dumb down the techno-jargon as much as possible.

A DEI Roadmap for Trainers with Maria Morukian
When done well, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) training creates space for courageous conversations that acknowledge hard truths around systemic inequities and explores topics that touch on people’s vulnerabilities in all facets of their lives. For those of you who do this work, there has not been a clear path to follow for making progress. As a DEI trainer, you have forged your own way and learned as you went.
Maria Morukian joins IDIODC to discuss her new book Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for Trainers: Fostering DEI in the Workplace. The need for DEI trainers to go at it alone has come to an end. We'll discuss how to develop the knowledge and skills required for DEI training as well as the historical underpinnings and rationale for DEI work. We'll cover the process of organizational assessment, design, and delivery, and strategies for embedding DEI and promoting sustainability through collaborative practices and dialogues.
