I attended your talk at ASTD this week and was really excited by some of the work you are doing tying gamification concepts to learning.

I was wondering if you could share your presentation from the talk. I would like to share it with some of my colleagues who are using the Switch (Heath Brothers) model and could learn from your approach.

Best,

Julie

It made me laugh and made me think. Things I like to do at the same time. Plus, it ended with a Sherlock slide. What’s not to love. Thanks for sharing.

There are a lot of other interesting ways to explore storytelling in terms of meta-structures, psychology and cultural constructs. This isn’t that presentation (though I’ll probably do that one too, one of these days). "This presentation is focused on specific strategies for making learning stories more interesting."  [...]

I am glad I came across your blog. I have just started a certificate program in IDT and most of the information seems to be focused on the educational side. Discussions seem to focus on teacher/learner relationships in an educational setting. When I came across your post, I immediately could relate to strategic mapping, similar to providing key success factors to align performance with the overall strategy of an organization. I think in both environments success can only come if common values and goals are a central issue and deeply rooted in the culture. Planning maps provide a visual representation of how strategic measures are linked to various business processes, not that different from mapping the problem, opportunities and the challenges. At least now I have something familiar to make connection with the new material.

We have a diverse learner population, age, education and attention span! I look forward to reviewing the resources you’ve posted!

Then I had a *ton* of questions from the two students prepping for their math final and by the time I got to my desk, it was done :( :( THANK YOU for having slides that had enough text to make sense of things on ‘em — but now I can watch the webcast… I’ve applied to Stanford’s d.fellowship for next year and might get to really dive into this learning design stufff….

I love this simple guide to how you can tell whether you’re being given a problem to solve or an order to fill. It’s a great first step in solving the problem. And double-agree with Sam’s focus on end user research a la design thinking!
