Webinar:
Cracking the Compliance Training Code
24 October 2019 – Online
13.00 – 14.00 (CEST)
Not many people seem to like compliance training. Not people at work, not many learning professionals, maybe some training providers. But we all want the people and organisations who serve us to be compliant. So how can you learn how to handle this compliance training paradox and find professional ways to make the best of it?
Cost: free
Interested? Sign-up for the webinar
In this webinar we will explore what to do – and not to do – to be sure that compliance training is effective, relevant and makes sense. You will learn how to first peel the compliance training onion to get to the core of what needs your attention. We’ll introduce a model to help you understand the regulation of behavior and how technology can play an important role for effectiveness and efficiency.

Ger’s Learning Notes #42 – Less is more
/0 Comments/in Learning Notes /by Ger DriesenAs a learning designer and trainer, I always want(ed) to serve my audience in the best way possible. Often, my concern was: do I deliver them enough content? Of course, content doesn’t equal learning.
Over time and by mistake, I learned that too much content could be harmful too; often a bigger risk as compared to ‘too little’. Recently, I had the privilege of being part of the judges’ team of the aNewSpring ‘most inspiring learning journey award’. While reviewing shortlisted candidates, I not only saw some great work but also some examples of ‘content overkill’. That motivated me to take ‘less is more’ as the topic of this episode of the learning notes. And don’t worry: you still get four resources!
Everything ‘skills’ for training providers
/0 Comments/in The skills obsession, Trends /by Jos BerdenReskilling, upskilling, the skills gap, the skills odyssey, skills-forward approach… The talk of the town in the learniverse is all about skills, skills, skills. Why is this and what’s exactly going on? More importantly, is it relevant for training providers or are the opportunities only for corporate L&D departments? We are finding out together with the people from Mind Tools in this recording. Yeah, you could call it a podcast.
Ger’s Learning Notes #41 – Learning and Pain and Desirable Difficulties
/0 Comments/in Learning Notes /by Ger DriesenDo you remember the last time or the most awkward moment when your professional values, norms or standards came under pressure? I experienced this many years ago when I had to team up and work with someone else in the design and delivery of a learning program. The target group was what you could refer to as ‘millennials’. I don’t like to stereotype target audiences in this way, but the other person insisted on it.
What science says about blended learning
/0 Comments/in Trends /by Ger DriesenResearch shows that blended learning is effective. In 2017, Dr. Will Thalheimer published his findings on the question: does e-learning work? Although his initial question is not about blended learning, his main conclusions are. In general, blended learning tends to outperform e-learning and classroom training; a combination of the two seems to be more successful.
It’s not that black-and-white, though. We’ll get into the nuances after we first take a step back and look at how the concept of blended learning began. Finally, we’ll provide five steps to help you choose the right blend.
Ger’s Learning Notes #40 – Special: Productive Learning Strategies
/0 Comments/in Learning Notes /by Ger DriesenHave you ever seen the movie The Matrix? I especially like the scene where Neo and Trinity try to escape from the bad guys chasing them. They arrive at the rooftop of the building and see a helicopter parked there. Neo asks Trinity: ‘Can you fly that thing?’ Trinity answers ‘Not yet’ and calls an operator to upload the ‘helicopter flying app’ to her brain, and off they go.
Although I believe some learning might be as simple as uploading one day, I also believe that there are many, many more years to come in which learning has to be done ‘the old fashion way’. So let’s use evidence-informed practices for the time being. We know that this means that (hard) work needs to be done by the learner. Productive Learning Strategies are all about this.
Ger’s Learning Notes #39 – Putting the learner at #1
/0 Comments/in Learning Notes, Put the learner first /by Ger DriesenWhile I was researching and curating this episode, I wondered about my own professional training to become a learning designer. I don’t recall that there was much focus on the user, back then, only in very general ways. I guess it is the legacy of Steve Jobs to put the user at the center of attention in design processes.
Nowadays, it has become the norm, and a standard even a ‘no-brainer’ in the expectation of users. Over the years, I found my way step by step to put the learner at the center of my learning design activities and during presentations and training. And to me, it made my work more interesting and rewarding.
I hope this episode of the learning notes helps you find your way in the area of learner centered design.
