Great reflection. I'd argue that this 'let's set it in space' with cartoons, is the sort of third rate 'storytelling' we get in e-learning content production. We could stop most of this (not all) right now, as it doesn't result in attitudinal or behavioural change.
I completed the module, then did the assessment and got 6/16, because i could not navigate the acronyms (and had not watched or read any of the content. In ten minutes i could write a single side of A4 with everything i needed to know from that course, including how to pass the test, and it would take you somewhere between 60-120 seconds to read it. And i’d gift you back 53 minutes. Why would we build a programme that reduces this efficiency?
Exactly, that's what LXP and performance support systems do, often a simple checklist, some simply guidance, is enough. But people are obsessed with over-engineered 'experiences'. I warned about this in my LXD book. Less is usually more.
Great share. I love your insight around 'finding the voice', I'd perhaps look at this through the lens of Chris Argyris' 'Organisational Defence Mechanisms' that mean we never escape the 'first loop' of the learning trap?
Learning and development have not learned/developed - just pushing outdated models- shows a real lack of understanding and care for the staff under their stewardship . They care about self preservation. We all know how that ends.
