RE: ReTooling Instructional Designers into Learning Producers!
The learning and learner of today and tomorrow require new and evolving skills from learning professionals. It is time for us to “Retool” our Instructional Designers into Learning Producers!
The skills of instructional design will continue to be important, but the Learning Producer has a wider set of competencies and capacities including:
- UserExperience
- Design Thinking
- Learning Data Analytics
- Curation Ecosystems
- Personalization Strategies
- Workflow and Performance Support
- Integration with Evolving AI & Machine Learning
- Understanding of Brain Science and Cognitive Behavior
- The “LEGO” Model of Content and Experience Development
- Globalization of Learning Resources
- And More…
The Learning Producer will add many of these skills to their instructional design skills. As a Producer, much of the content that you will be assembling and distributing will be from Open or External Resources. As a Producer, you will facilitate a wider range of choices of the format, setting, intensity and framework of learning activities. And, as a Learning Producer your use of Data and Analytics will become a major force in design and personalization.
Learning Producer roles will be explored at Learning 2018. Click for Details!
Join us at Learning 2018, with keynote speakers including Former First Lady Laura Bush, Author Dan Pink, and Leslie Odom, Jr. (Star of Hamilton), plus over 150 sessions on Learning Changes.
