SUMMARY:Recognize and Reward: The Impact of Informal Learning Recognition
DESCRIPTION:What if informal learning experiences were as valued and as recognized as formal training? \n  \n  \n  \nYour employees might be more engaged in continuous growth and development!  \n Informal learning recognition is all about acknowledging and valuing the skills and knowledge people gain outside of traditional (formal) training programs. This includes learning from everyday experiences like on-the-job training\, self-study\, community activities\, and even outside hobbies. \nBecause information is constantly swirling around us\, we can’t help but pick up new skills and knowledge through daily tasks and personal interests. The question becomes how can we recognize this type of informal learning beyond expensive (and difficult to implement) learning record stores (LRS). Recognizing this type of learning is important because it validates team member’s efforts and boosts motivation and engagement. It also helps connect formal training with real-world applications by rewarding the actions and behaviors changed. This helps make large strides that all learning is valued and used effectively. \nIn this coffee chat\, we’ll discuss: \n\nWhy recognizing informal learning matters\nYour tips on how to identify and validate these learning experiences\nYour stories about advantages and challenges\n\nBy the end of the chat\, you’ll have some practical ideas on how to appreciate and leverage informal learning\, contributing to a more dynamic and skilled workforce. \n  \nCan’t be there live? We’ve got your back!  \nSimply by registering to attend this “Learn Something New” workshop\, you will receive the following: \n✅ Follow-up email with resources and extra goodies \n✅ Copy of the video recording \n✅ Copy of the chatbox transcription \n✅ Copy of the full session transcript

SUMMARY:AI: Your New Instructional Design Sidekick
DESCRIPTION:Wondering what all the fuss is about AI? You’re not alone! The question is not if AI can help us\, but how?\n  \n \n  \nIn this workshop:\n\nWe will address AI’s capabilities and limitations\, such as understanding and mitigating issues like hallucinations and automation bias\, ensuring you use these tools with confidence and accuracy.\nStarting with the fundamentals\, we’ll show you how to craft prompts that harness AI’s potential to expedite and target the content creation process.\nWe will take a step-by-step approach to effectively use prompt engineering to guide the direction of meaningful outcome development.\n\nWorking side-by-side\, using a learning plan as a practical example\, we will:\n\nExamine AI’s abilities and limitations\, setting the stage for its effective use in instructional design.\nPractice engineering prompt formulas to give you more targeted\, relevant\, and less neutral (or generic) responses.\nIdentify how the use of roles and personas will direct your AI sidekick to be more helpful and effective.\nUsing prompt engineering\, direct AI to develop learning objectives that are more action-focused and align with Bloom’s Taxonomy.\n\nBy the end of our time together\, you’ll leave with a solid grasp of how to employ ChatGPT (or the AI Tool of your choice) in developing learning content. \nYou will leave having practiced with the Learning Rebels AI Cheatsheet to:\n\nAnalyze potential learning content\nDevelop learning outcomes\nDesign learning activities based on the outcomes and Gagne’s Nine Events\n\nThis hands-on approach will help you transform training requirements into structured\, relevant\, and interesting training content\, integrating the use of AI and other resources. \nIn this workshop\, we will use: \n\nChatGPT 4: Paid Version\nGoogle Gemini: Free Version\nPerplexity: Free Version\nClaude: Free Version\n\nWhat you will walk away with:\n\nPrompt Engineering Cheatsheet\nCopy of the deck\nThe workshop recording and transcription\n\n  \n  \n \n  \nThis program will earn you 1.5 APTD/CPTD certification or recertification points!

SUMMARY:L&D Strategies for Budget-Conscious Teams
DESCRIPTION:The struggle is real! Everywhere we look\, we see the same thing: Training budgets are getting tighter.\n  \n  \nThis makes it difficult for L&D teams to build effective\, relevant\, and creative learning programs that keep everyone skilled up and on the same page. On the flip side\, there may be a bright side\, as sometimes\, limited resources breed innovation. \nSo\, the big question on the table is: How can we use the resources we have and still develop killer training programs on a budget? \nIn this Coffee Chat\, we’ll explore:  \n\nYour strategies and practical tips on how to deliver impactful learning experiences without breaking the bank.\nHacks you use to stretch your current development training budget.\nShare free or low-cost resources for development.\n\nThis Coffee Chat is for YOU if: \n\nYou’re an L&D pro who needs new inspiration for being creative on a budget.\nYou want/need to deliver impactful learning without breaking the bank.\nIf you have budget war stories (and success stories) to share. Your experiences will help everyone!\n\nCan’t be there live?

SUMMARY:Exploring Creativity & Critical Thinking with Escape Rooms
DESCRIPTION:Here’s the challenge: Can we turn a virtual escape room into a training adventure that unlocks critical thinking\, creative problem-solving\, and teamwork in your learners?\n  \n  \nInspired by research that explored the effectiveness of using digital escape games to deliver leadership training\, we’ll dive into a framework and application of escape games in L&D. \nWhat’s on the Agenda? \nOn this Coffee Chat we will be joined by Dr. Rachel Arpin\, who developed “The Leadership Escape Game\,” showing the effectiveness of digital escape rooms for leadership development training. \nLet’s discuss: Grab your favorite coffee as we explore the theory behind escape rooms for L&D. We’ll discuss the ingredients for building effective escape rooms\, from setting clear learning objectives to crafting puzzles that spark creativity and collaboration. \nPractice and Learn: Gear up for a virtual escape room challenge! Get ready to put your teamwork and problem-solving skills to the test in a virtual Escape Room experience with Dr. Rachel Arpin. This isn’t just about fun and games. It’s about seeing firsthand how escape rooms can ignite critical thinking and discover creative problem-solving skills. \nDebrief & Conquer: Let’s learn together. After our virtual adventure\, we’ll huddle up to reflect on our experience. Share your insights\, explore how these skills translate to real-world L&D scenarios\, and brainstorm ingenious ways to integrate escape rooms into your training programs. \n\nEscape rooms may seem like learning gone astray\, another fluffy teambuilding exercise that isn’t relevant and doesn’t provide actionable outcomes. But I challenge you to come with an open mind and experience how escape rooms can be a powerful tool that ignites critical thinking\, sparks creativity\, and fosters real-world collaboration in your learners. \nSo join Dr. Rachel Arpin as she leads this Coffee Chat discussion and adventure.
