Happy Online Learning Day People! While it's easy to be cynical about online learning it does have enormous potential to improve access to learning.
Aslo there really is a day for everything!

Do you agree with @bobbyhollywood and friends that it is a great time to be in L&D? Is L&D really better, more appealing or rewarding now than it was in the past?

This from 4 years ago when being inspired by Netflix did necessary mean wanting to be a "Netflix of Learning". What industries or organisations should we in L&D be inspired by in 2022?

Interesting piece suggesting that for impact virtual beats in-person training events. Worth a read, even if I think, and as they acknowledge later in the piece, they are actually identifying the value of spreading learning out vs. a single intervention.

Interesting perspective on Micro-Learning. Seems harsh after all a lot of what #learningdevelopment folks do is about supporting performance! Micro-Learning can be right intervention even if it doesn't produce the "kind" of person you think you want.

For those #Wordle fans in my network, some thoughts courtesy of @atd on how Wordle design principles might be applied to eLearning.

When it comes to learning is being flexible more important than being smart?

Came across this article from @thirst about why companies should allow employees to "do" #Learning and #Development activities on work time, not personal time.

Some years ago I interviewed a chap who had completed an MBA with support and sponsorship from his employer. I asked what changes he had made as a result of his MBA, to which he said "None, Mr "Jones" (owner) didn't want me to change anything..."

While that is an extreme example, the tendency; not to support change and employee growth is all too common, it is, to my mind the biggest barrier to performance improvement and success for L&D functions.

Been with @lcndotcom for a long time, they have really gone downhill in recent years! They seem to go out of their way to make it hard to do business with them.

Came across this interpretation of the Model for #learninganddevelopment. I was surprised by some of the items included in the 70%, experiential, learning on the job phase? Cans items like #VR and #scenarios be considered real work challenges and experience?
