May I recommend that you take a fast-forward approach to today's instructional design demands and challenges. Be current. Stay relevant. Add value. Benefit from the rewards.

In order to design, develop, and deliver effective learning experiences, we need to understand who our learners are - what their learning goals are, what learning preferences they have, where they go to learn, and what challenges they face when learning. We also need a way to articulate these characteristics of our learners across all teams involved in the design process.

Is there a "best" culture? Most scholars would say "no" because it depends on what you're trying to do. Michael Lee Stallard discovered this is only partially true. No doubt cultures differ depending upon tasks. For example, engineering-oriented cultures differ from sales-oriented cultures. When it comes to relationships, however, new scientific evidence shows that cultures which connect people are superior to cultures that isolate people and unfortunately, cultures of connection are rare.

We've all heard a great deal about the impact we have on our planet, with the UN's 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) giving some guidance on this. So how can we help learners connect with why they're important and how they're interconnected and what we can do about them?

Writing for instruction differs from other kinds of writing. People who write for instruction write specifically for how we understand and remember. We certainly don't want what we write to make it harder to learn but a lot of instructional content does just that! Content that overloads memory. Writing that makes it hard to find or understand the main message.

In this session, Dr. Allen Partridge, Head of Evangelism, Adobe Digital Learning Solutions, will discuss one of the most useful things that Learning & Development Leadership can do to optimize training experiences is organizing common learning experiences.
