.emailview .emailview Discover Why A Learning Content Strategy is Essential

View this email as a web page

The following is a message from one of The Learning Guild''s valued sponsors.

Compliance is one of the most important components of learning. Often, it impacts all employees; it’s typically one of the first introductions new employees get to a company; and it’s vital in preventing lawsuits, fines, inefficiencies and more.

In fact, a recent study by research and analyst firm Brandon Hall Group found that compliance-related training accounted for roughly 18% of survey respondents'' entire L&D budgets. That’s a significant number. Yet, compliance training is frequently neglected.

So how can you better align your focus on compliance with its share of the budget? Find out in Four Things that Keep CLOs Up at Night: Why A Learning Content Strategy is Essential, co-developed by Copyright Clearance Center (CCC) and Brandon Hall Group.

We hope you find some valuable insights in the eBook. Please feel free to share it with your colleagues.

Thanks,
The CCC Team

We're Excited to Announce We've

Changed Our Name!

The eLearning Guild was founded 20 years ago to help training and education professionals harness the power of technology-based learning. Over the last two decades, technology has become a more integral part of everyday life and has become a seamless and natural part of how we support learning.

That's why we are excited to announce that we have changed our name from The eLearning Guild to The Learning Guild! This change won't shift our focus but will better reflect the lens through which our community views the evolving world of learning and technology, and how we support the work you do today.

What's Next?

Our core focus has always been about using technology to enhance learning, and that won't change. Over the coming days and weeks, you'll notice our brand shifting from The eLearning Guild to The Learning Guild.

Please make sure to add The Learning Guild as a safe sender to your address book and look for more exciting updates in weeks to come!

From all of us at The Learning Guild, we look forward to continuing to serve you!

New Report-L&D Employment and Pay: 2020 Status

View this email in your browser

How Does Your Salary Stack Up?

Hi Oliver,

Every year, The Learning Guild surveys its members to learn about employment-related topics. This year, we were especially interested to see how the unusual circumstances of COVID-19 could have impacted respondents' salaries, bonuses, and intent to change jobs.

In L&D Employment and Pay: 2020 Status, we take a closer look at the 678 survey responses collected in a survey from November 2020 to see how this past year has changed employment-related topics, such as:

Base pay: The status of current salaries for learning professionals in 2020
Bonuses: How bonuses have or are expected to be impacted
Job titles and roles: Intent of members within the L&D field to change jobs

Here''s a Sneak Peek:

2020 Base Pay: Status

"Nearly 42% of respondents said their base pay had increased in 2020 while almost exactly the same number said their pay was unchanged. 77 people-11.4%-said their pay had decreased. When later asked whether people had anything to add, one respondent said they were working on a master's degree and expected a pay raise following completion of that."

I hope you find this research report helpful as you continue to grow professionally in the new year.

Sincerely,
Jane Bozarth
Director of Research
The Learning Guild

Research Report-A Look at Learning Experience Design

View this email in your browser

Exceed Learning Expectations with LxD

Learning experience design (LxD) is not only about creating content, but crafting personalized journeys that address issues of learner motivation, environments, and available resources. In Less Content, More Learner: An Overview of Learning Experience Design, Jane Bozarth explains how LxD takes a longer and more iterative view than traditional instructional design approaches, and how it helps overcome the longstanding problem of learning being perceived as a process rather than an event.

Here's a look at what this research report includes:

Suggestions for mapping learner experiences and journeys
Key concepts of LxD, including using empathy to develop learner personas and experience maps
A look at how LxD helps overcome the challenge of learning being perceived as a process rather than an event
And more!

Download this research report now and see how you can use LxD in your learning solutions to boost learner confidence and motivation.

Here''s a Sneak Peek

Key Concepts: Empathy

"Perhaps the hallmark element of LxD (and design thinking) is the importance of empathy; that is, viewing things from a users' point of view. It is through use of empathy that the experience is designed to provide an optimal experience for the user, with decisions made according to their needs and skills rather than the preferences of a designer."

Research Report-Psychological Safety

View this email in your browser

Hi Oliver,

Psychological safety is tied to many factors affecting job performance, among them productivity, engagement, willingness to share information, and comfort with disclosing mistakes and asking for help. Interest in the importance of psychological safety in learning has spiked this year, with more people working remotely and participating in virtual-only learning experiences, and others confronted with more dangerous physical work environments.

Our new research report, Psychological Safety: Critical for Learning?, looks at the role of psychological safety in learning and factors that contribute-or detract-from it.

Key areas covered in this report include:

Simulations
Facilitator skills
Feedback
Team and collaborative work
Employee engagement

Download your free copy now and learn how to support learners at all levels with a psychologically safe work environment.

Here''s a Sneak Peek:

What Is Psychological Safety?

"Psychological safety involves trust and open communication, which in turn supports development of relationships and collaborative work, and, ultimately, learning to enact that work. In a psychologically safe environment one feels comfortable expressing and being themselves, sharing concerns, asking questions, and making errors without fear of being ridiculed or shamed."

We hope you find this research report resourceful!

Sincerely,
The Learning Guild Team

Subject: I have an exciting update to share!

Hello Oliver,

I wanted to reach out to share an update with you. Time is flying by these days, and last week''s discount deadline for DevLearn snuck up on all of us a little bit. We''ve received a couple of messages from those who accidentally missed the deadline. So, we''ve decided to give a little breathing room and extend the discount to next Friday, June 12, for anyone who missed it.

Reply directly to me for a special code to extend your best possible rate, which equates to a $250 savings, until June 12.

In addition, we know everyone has a lot on their plate right now. We went ahead and put together some resources for you to share with your leadership team to make the process easier. Simply share this email with your boss, adding any extra details or comments you would like.

Please reach out if there''s anything I can do to support your personal professional development at DevLearn. I look forward to hearing from you!

Take care,
Kate Smith

New Announcement: DevLearn Is Going Virtual

First of all, thank you to everyone in our community who has followed along with us on the journey the last few months as we''ve truly been shaping what''s next for learning, and for DevLearn 2020, day after day.

Keep Your Digital Strategies Productive

Are your employees suffering from "virtual content fatigue?" Is this digital L&D landscape helping or hurting your organization? A rapid shift to the virtual space paired with a strong reliance on online libraries have not only left both leaders and learners with content fatigue, but has also created a disconnect between learning professionals and technology.

Watch the on-demand webinar, Preventing the Organizational Digital Divide, to gain insights from Shannon Tipton, who possesses 15 years of corporate learning leadership experience. Shannon will delve into why employees' varying technical skill levels could be delaying your organization's productivity.

Key points discussed in this on-demand session include:

Whether technology is bringing us together or driving us apart
How L&D can help bridge this disconnect
How to focus on digital innovation and collaboration
How we can move forward in the new normal of a digital L&D landscape

Your Stories: Learn from Real Experiences

At the start of May, we invited the DevLearn community to participate in a Learning Guild survey we conducted to gather stories about what people have learned while working during this difficult time. The response was overwhelming! Within a week, 200 people shared insights and stories of teamwork, connection, resilience, triumph, struggle, and more.
We received such a wide range of stories that we decided to create this blog series, Your Stories, to help us learn from each other's experiences and shape what's next for learning. We''re excited to share the first article with you today!

We appreciate the trust you place in us as a provider of learning, growth, and community. Please visit our COVID-19 Updates page for the most current information and additional resources.

Rethink What L&D Can Be

Hi Oliver,

Given that 2020 has brought on new challenges in L&D, we now have the opportunity to adapt our strategies to a new playing field. Looking at current learning trends and conceptualizing how they fit into our work will enable us to make smarter decisions for both our learners and organizations. This will help us achieve real results rather than reaching for what is new and shiny.

At the Understanding Learning Trends Online Conference, you'll attend eight sessions led by industry experts as they discuss today's most popular and effective learning tools, technologies, and techniques. You're sure to walk away with the knowledge you need to apply these trends and fresh insight into how each affects the work you do now and in the future.

Online Networking Opportunity

In between sessions, you'll have the opportunity to extend the conversation in the Chat Lounge, where speakers and attendees can connect on a peer-to-peer level to ask questions and go more in-depth on session topics.

Takeaways For Your #TuesdayThoughts

There are so many great lessons coming out of Learning 2020! Here are some of the takeaways from our sessions yesterday:

Offer your loyalty to good leaders, not companies.

-Frank Nguyen

Watch, listen, empathize with learners. Take learners on the journey with you.

-Sravani Tammiraaju

If you have 6 weeks for an R&I project to vet new tech trends, that''s 6 weeks of insights that you didn''t have before. So spend this time imaging, envisioning, learning, and sharing.

-John Sangimino & Jake Gittleson

Play in learning: games aren't linear, but neither is learning,

-Karl Kapp

Reimagining L&D needs to include agency, community, and impact measurement. Leverage the diverse experiences of people to help them think differently. Learning happens everywhere and L&D needs to reimagine with this in mind.

-Gloria Tam, Phil Komarny, Rob Garris, & Richard Olson

Diversity is being invited to the party, inclusion is being asked to dance.

-Liza Wisner & Abby Miles

Join the conversation at #Learning20 in our LinkedIn Group or Twitter and share your takeaways!

Meet Learning''s Thirty Under 30

We're pleased to announce the 2020 selection of Learning's Thirty Under 30. This year's cohort includes a group of aspiring learning leaders who demonstrate deep enthusiasm for learning, and the drive to be leaders. We're honored to invite them into the program.

How you can update and elevate your approaches to maximize the value of your training videos
How using the right tools can help you easily scale your training initiatives across all your remote teams

L&D Industry: Before, During, and After COVID-19

View this email in your browser

Hi Oliver,

We've all experienced changes in our daily life from COVID-19 but how has the pandemic affected the L&D industry as a whole?

In March and June of 2020, we reached out to learning professionals about how their work was being affected by the global COVID-19 pandemic and asked what their predictions were for the future of the L&D industry. In this month's research report, COVID-19 and L&D: Present and Future, Megan Torrance analyzes the results of these two surveys.

Topics covered in this report include:

How training has been, is, and will be delivered
A look at the current and future states of eLearning and performance support
An overview of the L&D industry's rapid shift from in-person to online
Projections on how L&D teams will continue to adapt and change
Additional survey information including methodology, demographics, and individual responses
And more!

Download your copy of this research report now to gain insight into the state of the L&D industry before, during, and after the global COVID-19 pandemic.

Here''s a Sneak Peek:

March 2020 survey: Business Impact

"Not surprisingly, a dramatic impact to L&D practice was the abrupt shift to online delivery of face-to-face (f2f) courses and other learning experiences, with 86 percent of respondents saying at least one or more events had or were moving to an online format. While some comments expressed concern that the move to online was too fast and would result in mediocre work, others saw a silver lining."

We hope you enjoy this research report!

Sincerely,
The Learning Guild Team

Hi Oliver,

Our Measurement & Evaluation Online Conference is this week, and I wanted to reach out to share a little more about why you might want to join us on Wednesday and Thursday.

I was really excited to program this event, as I believe it's more critical than ever that L&D show measurable results. You'll see that these eight sessions are led by industry leaders who will share practical approaches, tools, and techniques for calculating, analyzing, and proving the value of your department. I look for you to walk away with the knowledge and expertise you need to better enhance your L&D efforts in demonstrating the impact of your efforts.

Online Networking Opportunity

I believe a real powerful part of learning happens when we can reflect with our peers. We provide you that opportunity to connect with others and the speakers in a more casual setting in the Chat Lounge, where you can extend the conversation, ask questions, and dive deeper into the topics between each session!

Enhance Your Training with Video Libraries

Join Us for This Complimentary Webinar
Thursday, June 4, 2020, 11 AM PST/ 2 PM EST

Training managers continually feel pressure to do more with less - to achieve ever-more impactful results without corresponding increases to budgets. Fortunately, changing workforce dynamics have created new opportunities for L&D teams to identify what content, format, and delivery will best help their organizations' employees to learn and succeed.

In this webinar, we'll investigate the top challenges training managers are dealing with, and how to optimize an internal video library to help relieve some pressure.

We'll also examine:

Which training content and format types that perform best
How to implement an "agile" approach to creating and modifying training videos
How analytics can be the key to helping improve training content while providing ROI numbers to management

Out with LMS - in with Learning Platforms!

For most organizations, the LMS is only one component of the learning and development tech stack. And only one piece of the entire employee experience. During tomorrow''s webinar, Matthew Brown, VP of Learning and Brand Success at Schoox, will explore:

Why we need to think "Learning Platform" from here on out.
The challenges learning teams face when using traditional learning management systems.
Signs your technology partner may not be the right one.
How to build a procurement plan that identifies business objectives, clarifies pain points, and articulates benefits to stakeholders beyond L&D.

If you are interested in this webinar but are unable to attend tomorrow, you can register for free anyway and we will send you the session recording and handouts after the event.

#WednesdayWisdom from Learning 2020

There are so many ideas to put into action from Learning 2020! Here are some more great takeaways from our sessions yesterday:

Business analysis is critical and happens prior to the design phase. This involves financial considerations, resources available, risks, dependencies, and market sensitivity.

-Mousumi Saha

Leadership needs to function at every level. Leaders need to understand the entire system.

-Kelly Leonard

Strive for competency and remember, knowledge is most valuable at the point of application.

-Mark Jack Smith & Manoj Kulkarni

You can''t have a strong learning culture without trust.

-Nigel Paine

Understanding who your data stakeholders are, is critical for solving business challenges when applying the data analytics process.

-Chris Bond

Quit pushing enablement on your learners. Instead, get learner pull-they should be encouraging others to go take that training.

-Karen Kochner

When our learners are in the workflow they don''t need "in this lesson you will learn" because they''re living the lesson and they already needed the information.

-Bob Mosher

Enhance Your Training with Video Libraries

Join Us for This Complimentary Webinar
Thursday, June 4, 2020, 11 AM PST/ 2 PM EST

Training managers continually feel pressure to do more with less - to achieve ever-more impactful results without corresponding increases to budgets. Fortunately, changing workforce dynamics have created new opportunities for L&D teams to identify what content, format, and delivery will best help their organizations' employees to learn and succeed.

In this webinar, we'll investigate the top challenges training managers are dealing with, and how to optimize an internal video library to help relieve some pressure.

We'll also examine:

Which training content and format types perform best
How to implement an "agile" approach to creating and modifying training videos
How analytics can be the key to improving training content, while providing ROI numbers to management

P.S. Bonus resources are available for webinar participants:

1. Complimentary Panopto Basic membership - start recording your videos for free!
2. The valuable whitepaper: 14 Ways to Use Video for Formal and Informal Employee Training.

Why You Shouldn''t Fear Failure

Hi Oliver,

Learning from failure is a practice many of us are familiar with and support. However, there's an important concept that oftentimes gets overlooked: Being proactive about learning from failure.

In Failing Forward: Instructional Design in the Trenches, we asked nine instructional designers who are well-known within the industry to share their experiences with failure and how their mistakes impacted them personally and professionally.

Each story contains:

Details of the designers' missteps
Reflections made on what went wrong
How each mistake improved the designer's practice for the future

Download now to gain new insight on how our failures might actually be the learning opportunities we need to become better.

We hope you find this eBook inspiring as you continue to learn and grow in your own career.

Sincerely,
The Learning Guild Team

Preventing the Organizational Digital Divide

Join Us for This Complimentary Webinar
Wednesday, November 11, 2020, 10 AM PST/ 1 PM EST

While L&D leaders met the urgent need to move more into a digital environment during the pandemic, some have thrived, but others have dived. Rapid conversions from the classroom to virtual and reliance on vast online libraries have left both learning leaders and learners with a severe case of content fatigue at best, and at worse on the brink of opening up a major digital divide. How can L&D partner with the business to prevent a collapse of organizational social learning structures, focus on innovation and collaboration to prevent a digital divide? How can L&D step up to the plate and add value?

In this session, we will discuss how the divide is present in different technical skill levels of employees and how this divide may be the main reason for slowed or delayed productivity or upskilling. Here we will examine:

Is technology bringing us together or driving us apart?
How to focus on digital innovation and collaboration
How does L&D help bridge the divide while partnering with the business?

If you are interested in this webinar but are unable to attend on November 11, you can register for free anyway and we will send you the session recording and handouts after the event.

Why virtual reality? Ultrasound technology is a valuable part of patient care, however, purchasing enough machines for all students to practice is not realistic, nor scalable for growing student populations. By using the most realistic simulations through immersive training, learners can efficiently bridge the gap between knowledge and hands-on practice.

In this interactive webinar, we'll explore how you can use virtual reality to provide your learners with a realistic training experience without blowing your budget. Jeff Gordon, Professor in Educational Informatics at Vanderbilt University, and John Blackmon, CTO of eLearning Brothers, will share how Vanderbilt University was able to use a virtual reality application to allow learners the ability to use an actual ultrasound machine with increased efficiency, safety, and knowledge in ultrasound interpretation.

During this session, you will explore:

What subject matter lends itself to development in a VR environment
The value VR offers over other eLearning methodologies
Common issues when creating content for VR
And more!

New research-Support learning with virtual classrooms.

View this email in your browser

Hi Oliver,

It is no secret that 2020 has proven to be a challenging year for the L&D community. COVID-19 has forced many professionals to quickly move their face-to-face training and education to the virtual space. Many of us were able to make this shift through the use of virtual classrooms, but making a fast transition does not always result in the best learning outcomes.

That is why this month, we want to provide you with the resources you need to ensure that your virtual learning experiences are as effective as possible. With this new report, Evidence-Based Ideas for Virtual Classroom Experiences, you'll explore recent research on the L&D community's sudden shift to virtual classrooms and which approaches and factors make for productive virtual learning experiences.

This report includes:

An overview of best approaches for supporting spaced learning
Design considerations for moving from in-person to virtual learning
Research-based advice for delivering interactive training
Additional tips for preparing, designing, and facilitating virtual classrooms
And more!

Download your copy now and find insight on factors that support distance learning, examples of realistic practices, and the value that feedback holds for long-term learner retention.

Here''s a Sneak Peek:

Virtual Classrooms: Supporting Factors

"A number of factors support the foundation of good instructional design-realistic practice, spacing, and feedback. These include things like quality of interactions, facilitator skill development, production support, and other considerations regarding tools, and even concerns around scheduling."

We hope you find this research report to be helpful when planning and conducting your next virtual classroom.

Sincerely,
The Learning Guild Team

Hello Oliver,

I wanted to reach out to share an update with you. Time is flying by these days, and last week''s discount deadline for DevLearn snuck up on all of us a little bit. We''ve received a couple of messages from those who accidentally missed the deadline. So, we''ve decided to give a little breathing room and extend the discount to next Friday, June 12, for anyone who missed it.

Reply directly to me for a special code to extend your best possible rate, which equates to a $250 savings, until June 12.

In addition, we know everyone has a lot on their plate right now. We went ahead and put together some resources for you to share with your leadership team to make the process easier. Simply share this email with your boss, adding any extra details or comments you would like.

Please reach out if there''s anything I can do to support your personal professional development at DevLearn. I look forward to hearing from you!

Take care,
