Nerdy Shop Talk Videocast

So it’s been pretty quiet here on the blog, but that’s because we have been hard at work on several different things.

One of them is HAPPENING this Thursday March 14th at 2PMย ET/11AM PT

Tracy Parish and I are starting a new videocast series in conjunction with the Elearning Guild, called Nerdy Shop Talk.

Like many of you, Tracy and I have found that some of our most valuable learning happens when they are talking to other learning designers and discussing new trends, ย issues, or challenges they have. These could be hallway conversations at conferences, or email exchanges, or web calls.ย  We thought it might be interesting to have some of these conversations where others could listen in or ask questions.

Basically, it’s a chance to eavesdrop on experts getting nerdy ๐Ÿ™‚

Here’s the description of our first episode:

Episode 001: Theย Researchย Rabbitย Holeย – How do you help people withย research-based practice? With Jane Bozarth, Patti Shank and Clark Quinn.
ย 
We know that it would be better if people were using solutions that were based on the best knowledge that we have from the academicย research, but that can be hard to do.ย  Itโ€™s not realistic for a busy practitioner with a full-time job to also keep up with all the academic journals andย researchย studies.ย  So how do we help people with that?
