The problem with doing the same thing repeatedly over a period of time is that our actions become too mechanized. It's easy to lose sight of what we do.
Now that we are venturing into a new normal environment, remote learning opens us up to new perspectives and newfound freedoms.
Trainers and learners have more time to reflect, anticipate, and process information.
As a consequence of doing something new (going remote), there are more opportunities for new inputs, experiences, and discretions in how we do work.
Let's not be overwhelmed by these newfound freedoms. Instead, grab them and use them to help us be better L&D professionals and learners.
For some reason this video made me think about reducing the barriers to entry for our online resources. Working remotely means that most everything we do is mediated through yet another virtual dashboard, another video call, another website. To help provide just enough and just-in-time learning, the access to that learning has to be as effortless as possible. My organization struggles with content, well, organization. We've got stuff all over the place. A unified, simplified structure for categorizing and housing content is what we need, but I suspect that's not uncommon. Simplification. Reducing barriers to entry. Those are my takeaways here.
