There are several common and perfectly understandable objections to the notion of reduced working hours. We’ve encountered and discussed many of these at LearnJam, and we’d like to share where we got to.
The future of humanity depends on how well we can move towards more sustainable, equitable and healthy ways of living. A reworked education system to serve this purpose can drive the changes we need.
LearnJam now operates a 4-day work week. This means we’re away from our desks on Fridays, spending time resting, learning, being with friends and family and doing the things that energise and inspire us.
In this guest post, Michelle Mangal – educational consultant, creative and teacher – shares her perspective on how teachers can foster a more inclusive learning environment.
Microlearning is an approach to training that delivers content in short, focused bites. Find out more about its pros and cons.
An effective learning journey needs to have a clear destination and a clear origin. Without these, it’s more or less impossible to make decisions about the sequence of learning interactions, modes and experiences a learner needs to move through in order to reach their goals.
Many of us sincerely believe that the world could be a fairer, more inclusive place – and that we all have a role to play in shaping this vision of a better future. But where to begin?
The phrase “build back better” has frequently been used in reference to the global lockdown as a golden opportunity to reflect and improve on the way that various social and educational systems work. We can do better than just returning to how things were before. But we think we should be aiming for more than just “build back better”. We want to build back fairer.
What’s needed to improve the inclusivity and accessibility of learning experience design?
What really works in learning? To find the answers to this we carried out a massive research project to seek out the evidence from learning research, cognitive psychology and neuroscience.
Laura Patsko talks about how she tackled researching and compiling our Learning Design Principles.
We’ve been surprised by some of the things we’ve learned through our research into tackling equality, diversity and inclusivity (EDI) challenges in online learning.
Towards the end of 2020, we launched a new EDI project with Innovate UK into what more inclusive learning experience design looks like. Here are 5 resources that have been especially influential in our thinking so far …
Motivation is one of the most important learning design principles – but also one of the most difficult to design for.
We’re working on a new project funded by Innovate UK which aims to address inequalities in inclusivity and access in learning design that have been brought to the forefront as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
We had a chat with fellow LearnJam co-founder, Nick Robinson, about whether people can learn to be innovative and what innovation looks like in an organisation.
We sat down with Martin Bloomfield, author of Dyslexia Bytes, to talk about dyslexia and to explore what we need to know about it in Learning Design.
In this post we share the stages of our Learning Design process that we go through when helping someone design a digital learning experience or course.
For a learning designer, understanding a person’s micro and macro learning contexts is the first critical step in designing something that will work well for them individually.
In Episode 4 of our podcast, Adventures in Learning Design, Tim and Laurie explore design thinking and how it applies to our field of practice. This is an abridged version of that conversation.
