Learning Questions as Work Evolves...

Welcome Forward! I am excited to re-design our Learning TRENDS and eNotes newsletter into a combined email and blog, experimentally hosted on Substack, a new publishing platform. Elliott Masie’s eNotes will be short, mixed media bursts of text, audio, video and interaction. Let’s go…


Learning Questions as Workplaces Evolve:

Let’s ask ourselves, other learning colleagues and our learners a few of these questions, focusing on changes coming through the Pandemic:

  • Have Our Attention Spans Changed? Most virtual learning sessions have been much shorter than classroom durations. Many learners seemed to have maxed out at 50 minutes in an hour.

  • As Work Shifts to Hybrid, How Will Learning Shift? Many organizations will ask workers to spend 1, 2 or 3 days at work in the office and the rest of time working from home. How will that impact learning activity blends, scheduling and leaner motivation?

  • How Will We Value Virtual Learning Activities? Will the organization (and even the learners themselves) value a graduate of a online leadership program as equal to the traditional residential leadership academy?

  • Refreshing the Workforce - What Have They Forgotten? We know that pilots and flight attendants returning to airlines are going thru re-entry learning programs to refresh their skills and readiness. What skills, behaviors and processes will need to be rebooted or reshaped as workers evolve their work locations?

  • Watching Their Children Learn Virtually - What Did We Learn About Learning? What did we, as parents or relatives of children who were learning from home learn about learning? A great question to ask ourselves!

  • How Did We Shift TV/Movie/Internet Watching? Did we watch longer or shorter segments? Did we “marathon” our watching? Did we experiment with “TikTok” or “ClubHouse”?

  • How Are Our Careers in Learning Evolving? How has the Pandemic impacted our skills, motivations and career aspirations, as learning professionals? What do we want to learn ourselves, now?

I would love to add a few of your questions to this list.

In the weeks ahead, we will be announcing our “Learning Festivals”, hosting new Empathy Concerts and releasing video segments on Hybrid Work & Learning.

Yours in Learning,
