What concerns do you have about this modality\/issue\/resource and why?\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>My initial concern when experiencing the TED-Ed modality was how or if it could be incorporated in the corporate learning world. As I continued to explore the platform, it became evident, that for my own organization and my needs as a Training Manager, TED-Ed would not be my first choice for a platform or destination to leverage within my company. The topics and content available fell short in terms of specific and relevant information that would benefit my organization. Even though I was able to access information and draw my own conclusions throughout the modality, this was more so because I was motivated by curiosity rather than true skill development. Within the context of my organization, where we train retail staff on a weekly, monthly, and quarterly basis, the information on the TED-Ed site was not specific to the needs of our organization (and I\u2019m sure that\u2019s the same for others if I\u2019m being honest). The goal of TED-Ed is to spark curiosity with learners and influence classrooms all over the world and for that, I feel like they are succeeding in what they have set out to do. However, as my role as a Training Manager evolves to one that involves collecting and curating content, I still feel that Lynda.com, Youtube, and Google provide more variety and options at this time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although I\u2019ve presented this as a concern, I think it\u2019s more of an observation as it\u2019s not as though TED-Ed advertises itself as a destination for corporate learning. They are doing what they\u2019ve set out to do and they demonstrate a solid level of credibility through their pedagogical and design collaboration in my opinion. I was interested to see how and if there could be a crossover from classroom targeted content to the corporate world, and in some industries, I\u2019m sure there could be some topics and content that could be deemed as relevant, just not for mine at this time. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
