I had the honor of writing two chapters in the book โ€œDesign for All Learners: Create Inclusive and Accessible Learning Experiences" โ€” one on learner personas and a second on virtual reality design.

This has been a labor of love, and Iโ€™m incredibly excited to share that my article "Leveraging Learning Engineering to Advance Authentic Learning in Virtual Reality", has been published in the Journal of Applied Instructional Design! jaid.edtechbooks.org/jaid_13_4/au...

Good to know! I loved Tweetdeck as well! I'll try out deck.blue for the next #learnchat

For those who tried out deck.blue, how did you like using it for the first #learnchat??? ๐Ÿง

HAHA I'll take it ๐Ÿ˜† I have a journal article being published this month, so it could lead to an interesting #lrnchat topic in the future.

Based on today's #learnchat, some themes I picked up from others' posts are AI and implications on learning, stakeholder management/buy-in, workforce shifts, measurement and evaluation, from theory to practice.

A6: I recall there being themes for some (maybe all?) #learnchat sessions and even some guest appearances and conversations revolving around the guest's work. I liked that!

A4: How can we shift the mindset of stakeholders and get them to understand that presenting content doesn't mean learning is happening?

Agreed! How can it be leveraged to enhance quality, but just efficiency. ๐Ÿ’ฏ #lrnchat

11.12.2024 01:33 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Absolutely! It's arguably the hardest and more time intensive part #lrnchat

11.12.2024 01:23 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

It's a huge challenge many face. "We have a ton of data and don't know what to do with it" is a sentiment I hear often #lrnchat

A2) I've been thinking a lot about all of the data we can collect from learning platforms and what it could tell us about the quality of our learning solutions, and how we may be able to use it to optimize our offerings #lrnchat

A0) Hi #lrnchat! I'm Kristin from CA ๐ŸŒป. I design immersive learning solutions and recently transitioned into product management. This week as part of my data science program, I learned how to do sentiment analysis using R.
