| 24 Feb 2020 | Gamification in Learning Design | 00:57:31 | |
Gamification is not about turning everything into a points contest, and it's not just for e-learning. So what is it for? We take a close look at some practical ways learning designers can use the principles of gamification to level up their learning design. 01:07 Exploding misconceptions about gamification 02:17 Gamification: not just for e-learning 02:45 It’s about learning from how games motivate people 04:09 Games and learning 04:44 What exactly is gamification, then? 05:34 Game elements and a game design approach 07:32 Games versus gamification 08:11 How Duolingo uses gamification to aid learning 10:32 Gamification case study: ‘Speed Influencing’ 13:06 Gamification case study: ‘Creating leadership models’ 17:12 Looking around for inspiration from games 18:21 Sheridan’s missed opportunities 19:33 Games made of different tasks to suit different strengths 20:39 Elements that come up again and again 21:22 How can we embrace gamification? 22:28 Game design approach: balance 24:18 Game design approach: the players’ experience 25:26 A question about teams 27:15 Game design approach: playtesting and iterations 29:15 Different types of player or learner 30:47 Matching player types to game elements 32:53 Variety! 33:25 Using gamification outside the classroom 36:17 Gamifying certification 38:21 Sheridan’s takeaways from Gamification 40:28 What about people who don’t like games? 41:48 A list of game elements 46:48 Bite-size design 55:17 Who we are and getting in touch Resource Links Duolingo: www.duolingo.com Coursera Gamification Course: www.coursera.org/learn/gamification/home/welcome Karl Kapp blog and books: karlkapp.com/ Andrzej Marczewski’s Gamification Cards: www.gamified.uk/gamification-inspiration-cards Andrzej Marczewski Gamified UK website: www.gamified.uk Open Badges: openbadges.org MyOpenBadge: myopenbadge.com/en/my-open-badge-en Contact the Hosts Our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/TrainingDesignPodcast Terry Pearce LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/terrypaulpearce Sheridan Webb LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/trainingdesigner The Training Designers’ Club: www.facebook.com/groups/2226817990681543 - A community for Learning Designers 360 Learning Design: 360learningdesign.com - For bespoke, creative and personalised learning design Keystone Development: www.keystonedevelopment.co.uk - For bespoke learning and development programme design Power Hour: www.power-hour.co.uk - For ready written bite-size training materials | |||
| 16 Apr 2022 | A Games-Based Approach to Learning | 00:58:58 | |
In this episode, Terry lifts the lid on taking a games-based approach to learning design, sharing tips from his own development journey as he moves away from traditional training design and into creating games for learning. Even if you're not a 'games designer' - there are lots of transferrable ideas that can be included in workshops and courses. 00:46 Terry's games-based journey 03:34 Games-based learning and gamification 05:33 What makes games-based learning successful? 07:52 The Transform Deck 12:54 Creating a learning Escape Room 14:13 Playtesting games 17:45 Games-based learning help from communities and reading 20:00 The six levers of games-based learning 20:47 Lever 1: Put the learner at the centre 22:50 Lever 2: Set the learner an open challenge 26:35 Lever 3: Let the learner explore 30:48 Lever 4: Let them fail 35:47 Lever 5: Give the learner meaningful choices 38:36 Lever 6: Give them a nudge 42:40 Why there's no 'make it fun' lever 44:21 Making a start with games-based learning 45:48 Three ways to use games in your learning design 50:37 Sheridan's mini-topic -- the curse of knowledge Resource links Ludogogy: https://ludogogy.co.uk/ The Transform Deck: https://untoldplay.com/collections/games-and-playful-products/products/transform-deck We Are the Rangers: https://education.minecraft.net/en-us/blog/we-are-the-rangers-explore-wildlife-conservation-in-minecraft Culturallye: https://www.metalogtools.com/products/all-products/11/culturallye Lee Sheldon's Multiplayer Classroom: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIaXBwHUb0c Yu-kai Chou's Actionable Gamification: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Actionable-Gamification-Beyond-Points-Leaderboards-ebook/dp/B00WAOGY4U Codenames online: https://codenames.game/ Contact the hosts Our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/TrainingDesignPodcast Terry Pearce LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/terrypaulpearce Sheridan Webb LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/trainingdesigner The Training Designers’ Club: www.trainingdesignersclub.co.uk Untold Play: www.untoldplay.com - For game-based learning and gamified learning consultancy and design Power Hour: www.power-hour.co.uk - For ready written bite-size training materials | |||
| 21 Sep 2020 | Designing Online Training | 00:53:20 | |
After our season-opening double-header on Virtual Training, we wanted to take a look at another hot topic: Online, non-live training. With less face-to-face learning, both are receiving a boost. But how do we need to design differently for recorded online training, as opposed to either virtual or face-to-face live training. As ever, we have plenty of practical tips to help you work it out. 00:22 Our Special Guest: Ginette Tessier 03:00 The difference between virtual live and online training (and e-learning) 07:39 Bad experiences of online training 08:23 The mistakes people make 09:53 The two cardinal sins: cramming too much in, and not breaking it down 12:32 The benefits of more, shorter videos 13:39 What learners can do between short videos 14:04 Making filming easier 15:57 Structure to keep learners motivated 18:01 Gamifying online programmes 19:24 The drip-feed technique 20:51 A rhythm of learning 22:59 The importance of signposting how they should approach the course 25:35 Giving them a reason to carry on 26:05 Blended learning 27:59 Case Study: The Easy Online Course Builder 30:07 Your starting point = Their pain point 32:17 Leave them wanting more 35:33 The technical skills and equipment you'll need 37:23 Comparing software platforms 40:58 The best mic and camera 42:58 Summary 46:02 The mini-topic: Good learning forums Resource Links Trainer Talk: trainer-talk.co.uk Thinkific: www.thinkific.com Teachable: teachable.com Podia: www.podia.com Blue Yeti Microphone: Techradar review C920 Webcam: www.logitech.com/en-gb/product/hd-pro-webcam-c920 Discourse (forum software): www.discourse.org Contact the Hosts Our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/TrainingDesignPodcast Get That Course Online: getthatcourseonline.com Ginette Tessier LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/ginettetessier1 Terry Pearce LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/terrypaulpearce Sheridan Webb LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/trainingdesigner The Training Designers’ Club: www.trainingdesignersclub.co.uk Untold Play: www.untoldplay.com - For game-based learning and gamified learning consultancy and design 360 Learning Design: 360learningdesign.com - For bespoke, creative and personalised learning design Keystone Development: www.keystonedevelopment.co.uk - For bespoke learning and development programme design Power Hour: www.power-hour.co.uk - For ready written bite-size training materials | |||
| 28 May 2023 | Subject Matter Experts as Trainers | 00:39:01 | |
Today Sheridan chats with Penny Booth Smith of PBS Consulting, a long term VIP Member of Training Designers Club. In this conversation Sheridan and Penny talk about situations that they have experienced where this training has been done well and not as well as it could have been when using Subject Matter Experts as trainers. They both agree that these are fabulous people but they might not have delivered training before and therefore need to have the understanding of how training works yet within businesses they have a lot of credibility due to the their knowledge. Penny explains a situation where she trained alongside a Subject Matter Expert and how it went well due to providing both structured training and the subject knowledge. Penny also believes that you need to get the WHY. If you don’t have the why and the buy in then employees are not going to take what you are training seriously and follow through to the what and how, which is what knowledgeable are able to do. This is a great conversation that brings in other training topics as the conversation flows. We’d love to hear your thoughts on this if you’re a subject matter expert or if you’ve worked alongside one and if you agree or not? | |||
| 22 May 2023 | Training Middle Managers | 00:39:19 | |
Today Sheridan chats with Annette Cairns of Green Shed Talent Development, a VIP Member of Training Designers Club. In this conversation they discuss how the middle management and more importantly the training of the middle management is sometimes forgotten or not seen as important as other training, despite being an integral part of the company. Annette explains the options of having a pick and mix style middle management programme, as it is crucial to understand and deliver the correct training. An example of this that Annette chats to Sheridan about is open questions. The majority of middle managers will understand what an open question is but when they are put in a situation where they are asked to use them, it sometimes becomes clear that although they know what they are, they may not use them as often as they should. This is a very thought provoking conversation on the training that middle managers have before they become managers and then the training that they do or don’t get at middle management and how this translates into how well they do their job. We’d love to hear your thoughts on this if you’re a middle manager and if you agree or not?

| 17 Feb 2020 | Transfer of Learning | 00:43:17 | |
You can make your training session as all-singing, all dancing as you like: if it doesn't result in any change back at work or in life, it's a failure. In this episode we discuss how to maximise transfer of learning as a training or learning designer, with lots of practical tips. 1:22 Why is it important? 3:56 What influence do we have as designers? 5:58 What leads to transfer of learning? 7:00 Twelve Levers of Transfer Effectiveness 8:20 The three categories that aid transfer 9:45 What individuals can do to aid learning transfer? 11:17 What can organisations do to aid learning transfer? 18:05 What can training designers do to aid learning transfer? 19:06 Designing for clear learning expectations 21:19 Designing for a sense of content relevance 22:56 Designing active practice into training and learning 25:20 Designing transfer planning into learning and training 26:36 Case study: Management Academy 33:31 Terry’s takeaways on Transfer of Learning 34:52 Holding people accountable 36:10 Acronyms for learning: when should we use them? 41:29 Who we are and getting in touch Resource Links Heidel’s Twelve Levers: www.transfereffectiveness.com Contact the Hosts Our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/TrainingDesignPodcast Terry Pearce LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/terrypaulpearce Sheridan Webb LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/trainingdesigner The Training Designers’ Club: www.facebook.com/groups/2226817990681543 - A community for Learning Designers 360 Learning Design: 360learningdesign.com - For bespoke, creative and personalised learning design Keystone Development: www.keystonedevelopment.co.uk - For bespoke learning and development programme design Power Hour: www.power-hour.co.uk - For ready written bite-size training materials | |||
| 09 Sep 2024 | Imposter Syndrome and Training | 00:39:03 | |
In this insightful conversation, leadership expert Tracy Rotsey sheds light on a topic that many of us encounter at some point AND that we are often asked to cover in training - Imposter syndrome. Tracy shares practical tips for silencing that inner voice that tells us we’re not good enough. Whether you’re a seasoned business leader, head of an L&D team, a freelance trainer, or just starting out in your career, Imposter Syndrome can be a tough mental hurdle. But it’s one you can overcome with the right tools and mindset. In this episode, we discuss strategies for building confidence, recognizing your value, and understanding why self-awareness is key to both personal growth and professional success. And it’s not just about training design—it’s also about creating a work environment where people feel safe to make mistakes and learn from them.

| 19 Oct 2020 | Evaluation in Training Design | 00:51:47 | |
Everybody in L&D knows that evaluation is important. But not enough of it gets done, and what does get done isn't always as effective as it could be. What can we as training designers do about that? In the final episode of our second season, we have practical suggestions and lots of ideas on ways to make evaluation count. 00:22 Not enough evaluation in L&D? 01:05 Why don't we do it more? 06:00 Measure learning or measure impact? 09:05 The topic makes a difference 12:05 Qualitative measures and evaluation 14:39 Who shoulders the risk? 16:32 Using stories for evaluation 17:31 Return on investment 20:13 Models: LTEM 21:57 Models: Brinkerhoff 25:01 Models: Kaufman 26:00 Meet the new model, sam as the old model 26:52 Level 1 in practice 30:14 Level 2 in practice 31:55 Level 3 in practice 35:37 Level 4 in practice 36:47 Case study: Evaluation at all four levels 39:49 Case study: Pilot study 41:12 Case study: Learner projects 42:12 Remember why we're doing it 42:56 Summary 44:40 Terry's mini-topic: PowerPoint witchcraft Resource Links Kirkpatrick: https://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/kirkpatrick.htm LTEM: https://www.worklearning.com/ltem/ Brinkerhoff model: https://kodosurvey.com/blog/brinkerhoff-model-101-methodology-and-goals Kaufman's model: https://kodosurvey.com/blog/kaufmans-model-learning-evaluation-key-concepts-and-tutorial Contact the Hosts Our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/TrainingDesignPodcast Terry Pearce LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/terrypaulpearce Sheridan Webb LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/trainingdesigner The Training Designers’ Club: www.trainingdesignersclub.co.uk Untold Play: www.untoldplay.com - For game-based learning and gamified learning consultancy and design 360 Learning Design: 360learningdesign.com - For bespoke, creative and personalised learning design Keystone Development: www.keystonedevelopment.co.uk - For bespoke learning and development programme design Power Hour: www.power-hour.co.uk - For ready written bite-size training materials | |||
| 17 Apr 2023 | Demystifying eLearning | 00:40:38 | |
In this episode Sheridan chats with Jennifer about eLearning and how it can be incorporated into blended learning. Jennifer started using eLearning well before the rest of the L&D Community and before the pandemic forced the hand of many other trainers.

| 15 May 2023 | Learning Journeys | 00:43:05 | |
Sheridan chats with Jackie Clifford from Clarity in the episode on Learning Journeys Jackie has been in and out of organisations, all my all her career. She has had a variety of roles, working in the public, private and not for profit sectors One of her focuses is with new managers. And helping managers who have suddenly been told that they have to manage a team - and that can range from an accountancy practice to a group of scientists. And another part is on coaching and mentoring. Having co-authored three books, the second was written on the topic of mentoring. The programmes that Jackie designed, where she has been able to include one to one coaching, group coaching have more significant real world results than those that don’t. These are the results that show that life long learning is long term and not just something that is done for 6 weeks and then forgotten. Jackie believes in the idea that a learning journey is something that is continuous and the journey should not stop until everything has been finished - that there is no where to go and that person has left the organisation. This chat between JAckie and Sheridan is one that throws up more questions that answers during the chat but ultimately creates a great conversation between two people who embrace the idea of lifelong learning and have applied it to many situations throughout their career. This is a great episode and I am sure that you are going to really enjoy it. Have a listen and we’d love to hear your thoughts on this subject.

Today Sheridan chats with Natalie Houlton of Yellow Duck Development about designing and delivering graduate training programmes. Natalie amongst other training roles works with graduates providing them with foundational skills and helping them to develop those skills, in a variety of different companies from SME’s to global companies in multiple industries. Within her graduate training programme brings together the key aspects of training that other managers in businesses are already successful in doing such as networking and building relationships with their peers. Natalie is currently working with one company and explains during the 18 month programme that it is being endorsed by The President of the company and this level of endorsement from senior management is a very important part in showing graduates how a company takes a programme. Natalie is passionate about getting the right elements of a graduate programme together, making sure that all the parts are joined up and have the right management and infrastructure to allow this to happen. This includes having a programme sponsor, programme coordinator, programme administrator and a programme facilitator. This is a fascinating conversation between Sheridan and Natalie, where Sheridan shares her own experience of being on a graduate programme and how things have changed with the new generation of graduates. And if you have been on a graduate programme recently or a while ago, we’d love to hear your thoughts on this episode.

| 12 Jan 2024 | A strategic approach to training design | 00:41:06 | |
Sheridan chats with Ross Stevenson, of Steal These Thoughts in this episode looking at a strategic approach to training design. This episode covers some key points about strategic approaches to skills development and training design including the idea of being a strategic L&D leader involves understanding an organization's culture, constraints, and contexts, and balancing the needs of the long term with current requirements. Ross highlighted the importance of being smartly innovative and understanding that not everything that counts can be measured. One thing that they are both very clear about is that for strategic skills development, you must understand the specific needs and constraints of an organization and gradually start to introduce innovative methods, to help to change mindsets around training and development.

Fiona Bryan of Developing Leaders and Sheridan Webb in the latest episode of the training design podcast as they discuss the intricate world of training design. The discussion begins with a critical look at what constitutes training design versus preparation. They explore the challenges trainers faced during the pandemic, wherein their expertise in detailed design granted them the agility to switch to online platforms more smoothly than those less prepared. They also discuss why training design is more than just making eye-catching slides; and how the invisible nature of the design process often leads to its undervaluation. The conversation also covers practical advice for those venturing into the realm of training design, with the need for effective facilitation skills and the ability to adapt on the fly to unexpected changes during live training sessions.

This episode was recorded before the pandemic, so some of the references (e.g. snowboarding trips!) may sound strange now, but we're confident all of the insights are still relevant to the world training designers find themselves in today. 00:21 In this episode 00:47 The importance of a variety of activities 03:02 Case study: an Innovation and Creativity session 06:07 Getting inspiration from The Crystal Maze 07:01 Learning Styles: useful or not? 09:07 Activities as a way for learners to spend more time with a topic 09:40 Bloom's Taxonomy as a source of inspiration 11:58 The Five Types of Activity 13:50 Examples of the 'Structure' category of activity 15:01 Using technology to support different activities 16:20 More 'Structure' examples 16:42 An unusual activity: 'Break the Model' 18:08 Combining basic activities to create something deeper 18:59 The 'Solve' category of activities 20:51 the power of combos 21:44 Case study: The Origami Factory 23.21 Storytelling case study: Customer Service and Mental Health 24:40 Creating activities using core 'kernels' 30:26 Terry's 'Transform' card deck for inspiring activity design 33:03 Sheridan's mini-topic: The importance of practice (especially for snowboarding!) 41:46 Summary Resource Links Bloom's Taxonomy: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloom's_taxonomy Terry's Innovation and Creativity workshop: 360learningdesign.com/store/products/360-cips Contact the Hosts Our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/TrainingDesignPodcast Terry Pearce LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/terrypaulpearce Sheridan Webb LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/trainingdesigner The Training Designers’ Club: www.trainingdesignersclub.co.uk Untold Play: www.untoldplay.com - For game-based learning and gamified learning consultancy and design 360 Learning Design: 360learningdesign.com - For bespoke, creative and personalised learning design Keystone Development: www.keystonedevelopment.co.uk - For bespoke learning and development programme design Power Hour: www.power-hour.co.uk - For ready written bite-size training materials | |||
| 30 Apr 2023 | Peer Learning | 00:47:03 | |
In this episode, Sheridan chats with Liz Needham about Peer Learning. Liz has been a coach, and a training facilitator and worked 1-2-1 with businesses, she brings all her skills together to help others to learn together. Liz is passionate about helping businesses deal with the unknowns that can come, by creating a mechanism where people can continuously learn, where they can support each other and during that learning it will bring the best heads together, not leaving someone to look at it in isolation. Appreciative of the fact you don’t need to know everything yourself, but that you do need to have a network around you that can give you what you need when you need it. At the moment, leadership is a tough place to be and can also be quite lonely. Peer learning is a great way to form a sense of community and belonging. Liz is also a great believer that peer learning doesn’t have to take a great deal of time, it can be part of your meetings, and there are no set objectives, making it very easy to incorporate into your teams day. This is a really great conversation with two people who are very passionate about the subject of Peer Learning. Have a listen and we’d love to hear your thoughts on this subject.

| 07 May 2023 | Systems Training | 00:35:19 | |
Sheridan chats with Susanna Simmons of productive IT in this episode. They discuss the topic of Systems Training and the many different ways that it can be approached and how they feel it is not always the correct way. Susanna started her career in IT but is now more specialised in people and human behavior and how she can help companies to adopt systems and the context of what that means in their world. Susanna is very focused on not just solving the pain points of a company but also the users, how much of a pain point is it to them or are they happier in their comfort zone. And how can that be changed? Sheridan and Susanna talk about how a blended approach can work well with systems, allowing you to start to get buy-in and reduce the threat that people may be feeling. They are both passionate about learning being more effective if it is active and they are allowed to self-discover but they both understand the need to discover safely and with a little bit of guidance. This is a great conversion with two people who are passionate about the subject of Systems Training and how it can be used and applied in a well and throughout way. Have a listen and we’d love to hear your thoughts on this subject.
