Brian is the author of What’s Your Formula?: Combine Learning Elements for Impactful Training, was named one of Training magazine’s 2011 Top Young Trainers, and has been published multiple times in TD magazine. His goal in life is to eradicate the scourge of poor learning experiences in the world by ensuring that every presentation is engaging and leads to change.
Engaging, effective training programs are a mixture of science and art, requiring the right balance of adult learning theory, available technology, intuitive tools, proven practices, creativity, and risk. How does a trainer find the right combination and proportion of these elements? How does a trainer know what’s possible?
Whether you’re a seasoned training professional or an occasional presenter, you can make your presentation a true learning tool by implementing these effective strategies. In “PowerPoint: Your Co-Facilitator,” Brian Washburn shows you how to create great presentations using any presentation software.
More practical guidance for trainers and instructional designers who find themselves working with one or more constraints.
The constructal law of design and evolution in nature can actually be applied in very concrete ways to the world of learning and professional development to help individuals, teams and organizations flow more efficiently.
A rubric is a way to assess performance with a standard set of evaluation criteria. The next time you need to assess the performance of someone delivering training (even if that someone is you), you may find this rubric helpful.
As people who have designed and delivered effective training, Kassy Laborie and Zovig Garboushian know a thing or two about good learning experiences. So what nuggets have they gleaned from a 9-month course that they’re both attending, and that all of us should consider when designing our own programs? Today’s podcast answers that question.
Karl Kapp has written 8 books, created 11 LinkedIn Learning courses and has an entire YouTube channel devoted to game and game design. Today on the podcast, he spends some time talking about how to bring game elements into learning.
When it comes to your training participants, two of the dirtiest, or perhaps scariest, words you can say during a session may be: role play. In today’s podcast, John Crook, Head of Learning at Intersol Global, offers some thoughts on how to make role plays more authentic and robust.
What can anyone who designs training learn from the way a keynote speaker designs and refines their presentation? Renowned keynote speaker, Jessica Kriegel, answers that question and more in today’s podcast.
