For this activity, we were asked to identify two new or renewed learning practices in our professional context. In my role as Director of Learning Solutions at Info-Tech Research Group (hereafter referred to as ITRG), my team is tasked with developing commercial learning products for our member organizations. Two innovations we have been investigating over the past year are:<\/span><\/p>\n

I. Integrated Learning Experience Platform<\/b><\/p>\n

In 2017, ITRG launched a video learning library for research content videos (i.e. focused on core Information Technology products and processes) called Info-Tech Academy (ITA). At present, ITA consists of videos of analysts discussing their taxonomy\/research areas and accompanying quizzes. The Learning Solutions team would like to expand upon the offerings in ITA and create a robust Integrated Learning Experience Platform for both functionally-focused and leadership-focused content. Our draft plan is to:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Add leadership-focused content to ITA that highlights core program concepts for the benefit of all our members (rather than solely those who enrol in the leadership programs)<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Create a portal with diagnostic functionality, including 360\u00b0 feedback functionality and psychometric assessments<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Create alumni networks in the portal <\/span>or<\/span><\/i> establish links to an externally-based network (e.g. LinkedIn)<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Build additional content and functionality in support of program content
    \n*\u00a0<\/span>Learning reinforcement material – i.e. content and activities (including quizzes)
    \n*\u00a0<\/span>Functionality that allows members to ask questions related to the leadership content
    \n*\u00a0<\/span>Functionality that allows members to book analyst\/coaching calls<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Help our research partners focused on taxonomy\/research areas to develop more robust offerings within the portal (e.g. additional content and functionality, forums, et cetera.)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    II. Online Learning Reinforcement<\/b><\/p>\n

    In order to ensure that the content in our week-long on-site leadership development programs are well-understood and translate into behavioural change, we must provide learners with materials and activities that reinforce core concepts. We will begin by researching best practices in distance learning reinforcement and then produce design principles, templates, and guidelines for our content developers. (Note: Learning reinforcement material is a core element of the Learning Solutions Portal – 4a above)<\/span><\/p>\n

    And the Winner is …<\/b><\/p>\n

    I will be focusing on Online Learning Reinforcement Material because of its criticality to program success. Also, as this is a core element of the Integrated Learning Experience Platform (4a in #1), it is a logical first step.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
