Have you ever had this conversation with an SME (subject-matter expert)?

• SME: “This needs to be in the course.”
• You: “I’m not sure it does.”
• SME: “Yes, they definitely need to know it.”
• You: “But I’m not sure it will help them.”
• SME: “Well then at least need to be aware of it.”
• You: “Hmpfh.”

Your learners have needs, and your SMEs have knowledge and experience. But do those two things always line up? When creating learning content, SMEs with the best intentions can end up creating content that’s long on information, short on practical application, and wrapped up in a bullet-point PowerPoint bow.

The next thing you know, your learners are going to YouTube to find what they need instead.

In this session, you’ll learn five key strategies for working more effectively with subject-matter experts to create content that sticks. You’ll gain practical insights, tips, and resources for making the most of your SME’s expertise and for harnessing that power in a productive and helpful way.

You’ll walk away better able to move your online content from simply conveying information to helping your learners solve the real problems they face every day.

You will learn to:

• Change the focus of your efforts from the SME’s expertise to the learner’s needs
• Negotiate out “nice-to-know” information
• Help SMEs break down what they’ve learned over the years in a way that’s helpful to others
• Use one simple question to determine what content should be included and what should be cut

Learners learn best with stories. But do most designers and developers have difficulty creating them?

Most often these narratives sound like … “Once upon a time” tales.

These are long and laborious to develop. They are expensive and difficult to produce.

So, what is another option to consider? Super short stories!

These are very brief and simple but relatable scenarios that quickly convert lesson content into highly engaging lessons. They are cheaper and faster to create.

Topics to cover:

• Why use short, simple, and easy-to-develop stories?
• Why avoid long, expensive, and hard to develop stories?
• Where do you find short and simple stories?
• What are the 4 key steps to short story creation?
• How do make sure your stories connect with the lessons?
• How do you use an authoring tool like Captivate, Storyline, and Rise  for short story lessons?

Whether or not you consider yourself a techie, this is a must-attend session for you.

Every L&D person now wonders how ChatGPT would aid and enhance their design, methods, technologies, and their tools. ChatGPT is the most recent, December 22, 2022 release, of OpenAI.com’s – a conversational interaction with A.I.

ChatGPT is so advanced and intriguing that Wall Street Journal estimated that OpenAI’s valuation stands at $29 Billion. Observers say, ChatGPT is the “Google Search killer”.

What we are curious about in L&D are these questions: “Is this another new shiny object or perhaps just another tech platform with bells and whistles? Does it disrupt learning and design?

In this session, Ray will share his analysis and experiments with ChatGPT in the following areas.

1. Microlearning
   • How ChatGPT further reinforces micro, nano, and fingertips learning; from no retention learning to instant answers; formless lessons and content
2. Just-in-Time and Just-Enough Learning
   • How ChatGPT removes the idea of “learning” and instead jumps to  “instant answers”
3. Workflow Learning
   • How ChatGPT quickly transforms novices into experts; accelerate solutions at work; think smarter with an abundance of answers; a fusion of learning and doing; disappearing boundaries of learning, actions, and decisions
4. Story-Based Learning
   • How ChatGPT reinforces the concept that stories reside in the mind of the learners; construct stories instantly; story actions as ChatGPT prompts; interface learners’ stories with stories on the Internet
5. Never-Possible-Before Solutions
   • What are the potentials of ChatGPT in new learning and performance solutions that we have never thought of before?

Demos and examples – Ray will provide video recordings of his own and others’ testings and experiments.
