Artificial intelligence is evolving at an unprecedented pace—what does that mean for the future of technology, venture capital, business, and even our understanding of ourselves? Award-winning journalist and writer Anil Ananthaswamy joins us for our latest episode to discuss his latest book Why Machines Learn: The Elegant Math Behind Modern AI . Anil helps us explore the journey and many breakthroughs that have propelled machine learning from simple perceptrons to the sophisticated algorithms shaping today’s AI revolution, powering GPT and other models. The discussion aims to demystify some of the underlying math that powers modern machine learning to help everyone grasp this technology impacting our lives, even if your last math class was in high school. Anil walks us through the power of scaling laws, the shift from training to inference optimization, and the debate among AI’s pioneers about the road to AGI—should we be concerned, or are we still missing key pieces of the puzzle? The conversation also delves into AI’s philosophical implications—could understanding how machines learn help us better understand ourselves? And what challenges remain before AI systems can truly operate with agency? If you enjoy this episode, please subscribe and leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is in the spotlight these days, and many L&D teams are exploring the role it can play in their development processes—and even in the learning content itself.

Their use of AI has centered on helping learners better understand course content and serve as an overall well-being tool. Tim Handley, instructional designer and CPO/CTO at Welbee, will join us for the next episode of #ICIODC to share how Welbee is using AI in its courses.

Solve Knowledge and Learning Issues with Organization Enablement with Mike Simmons 47:48

2 years тому47:48

47:48

We've all heard of Sales Enablement roles. But why is it that only sales teams get special attention enabling them to do their jobs better? Shouldn't we be enabling the entire organization? One might argue that traditional onboarding and training has that responsibility. But it's not quite the same. Enabling all departments to be successful and productive requires more than what traditional training departments provide. Supporting the moments of need within all departments requires knowledge management, informal learning, social learning, access management, and more. Mike Simmons joins us to talk about organization enablement and how L&D is uniquely positioned to blend the best of Knowledge Management, Performance Improvement, and Learning & Development into a cohesive solution that enables all employees to be their best and provide the most value to their organizations.

Debunking Myths About Creating Accessible Learning Content with Diane Elkins 43:59

2 years тому43:59

43:59

Have you asked yourself lately why you don't put a stronger focus on accessibility when creating eLearning content? Oh c'mon, you know you've made excuses why you "can't" do it. We all have at one time or another in our careers. I include myself in that. Here are just a few I'm sure you've used: "Yea, but nobody in our organization has a disability." "Yea, but nobody with a disability could do these particular jobs anyways." "Yea, but it costs more, and we don't have the time to spare." "Yea, but we're not a government agency so we don't really need to worry about it." "Yea, but we make a pdf transcript. That's all we need." Your "Yea, buts" are no longer valid. Diane Elkins joins us to debunk the common myths and excuses used to avoid creating fully accessible learning experiences. She's an experienced elearning development professional who's been at the helm of Artisan Learning for 20 years. She's heard it all. But more importantly she's discovered successful responses to the "Yea, buts" and created solutions that prove the "yea, but...-ers" (Trademark pending) WRONG. Stop being a "yea, but...-er"!

Improving Training Videos Using Neuroscience with Patti Shank 46:30

2 years тому46:30

Just because you have the skills to shoot and edit a video doesn't mean it's instructionally sound. This is why some videos are easier to learn from than others. And why that learning sticks. Watching video is a passive experience and therefore you might think there isn't much more to it than just making it more entertaining. Yea, you'd be wrong. Dr. Patti Shank joins us to discuss some of the mental processing models you can use to your advantage when producing videos. She's taught us all how to become better multiple-choice question writers with a scientific approach, and now she's applying that same researched-based rigor to producing better training videos. She reads ALL the research so we don't have too. Join us for another IDIODC with Patti as she continues to help the L&D community apply the research to all that we do. Save your spot today!

Using AI to Supercharge Training Team Productivity with Myra Roldan 45:19

2 years тому45:19

45:19

AI is the hottest topic in L&D since Learning2.0. It's even hotter than Virtual Reality. Why? Because it's something everyone can use and doesn't require additional hardware expenses. And more importantly, when used creatively, AI apps can supercharge your individual productivity. But if you're a manager/director of an L&D or Training department, you need to build your knowledge of these tools as well. They are changing how your team will work and support stakeholders. Myra Roldan, AWS Sr. Technical Program Manager, joins us to talk about the many solutions and productivity hacks she's discovered while experimenting with AI apps. She'll talk about building AI generated content, but also how she's generated more complex solutions like knowledge bases. She's even used AI to generate her own app that generates instructional objectives. The future of AI is here now. If you follow Myra on social media you may have already seen these demos, but if you're like me, her videos sparked even more questions. Bring your own questions and curiosity to this episode and join the always active chat room. And bring your manager, and your manager's manager. This technology, more than any other, is changing rapidly the way we work and improve performance. Become virtual friends with the IDIODC gang on Twitter.

Navigating the NonProfit Learning Ecosystem with Nancy Bacon 45:35

2 years тому45:35

45:35

Nonprofit organizations need training too. Just like the for-profit enterprise, a nonprofit has learning needs. Some of that learning is unique to the nonprofit world. And just like SMBs and large enterprises, nonprofits come in all sizes. And as these organizations scale up, so do their training needs. If you're an L&D professional you may have considered working for, or consulting with, a nonprofit. Much of your work will remain the same, but understanding the unique nature of the nonprofit entity will help you succeed and avoid common pit falls. Nancy Bacon has committed her professional career in L&D to supporting nonprofits. She joins us to share her insights into this world and how you can benefit from knowing a little more about them. Since many trainees are volunteers, as you might imagine, motivating them to action is a challenge. This is Nancy's specialty and applies adult learning theories to make that action happen. Just because you don't work in a nonprofit doesn't mean this episode isn't for you. This episode is exactly for you. You may not work in a nonprofit currently, but at some point you will, or should, be a volunteer. Your skills could be just the thing a struggling nonprofit needs and we're here to help you. Join us for this unique look into the world of L&D and nonprofits. Become virtual friends with the IDIODC gang on Twitter.

Powering Performance with Formal/Informal Learning at the 5 Moments of Need with Bob Mosher 44:56

2 years тому44:56

44:56

The 5 Moments of Need exist in every department of every enterprise, and requires a strong and efficient learning ecosystem. Both formal and informal learning solutions support each of the moments in different ways. When you need to learn NEW stuff or MORE stuff, those are the first 2 moments of need and probably the most obvious. But there is also APPLY, CHANGE, and SOLVE. These are moments that require learning solutions supported by solid design and development processes, and systems as well. Bob Mosher is the founding member at 5 Moments of Need and joins us to share his experiences putting these philosophies into practice. We'll talk about the basics, but then we'll jump into why and how we need to adjust our practices. Bob has plenty of case studies and stories to tell about important business impact applying The 5 Moments of Need can have. And you don't need to be an instructional designer to benefit from this conversation. Every business leader can improve their operations by knowing more about these 5 distinct moments where a learning intervention is required.

How L&D Can Become a Trusted Business Advisor with Jess Almlie 39:35

2 years тому39:35

39:35

Learning and Development leaders and their teams support many different stakeholders. But all of these stakeholders play an important role in the success of each enterprise. If our job is to help them improve their performance than we must learn to become better advisors to those lines of business. Jess Almlie joins us to talk about becoming a trusted business advisor. For Jess, this is key in doing our best work as L&D professionals. Working as a trusted business advisor allows us to get out of the order-taking business and into the business of working strategically, maximizing our use of time and resources, and creating solutions that impact the organization. If we have the trust of our business stakeholders, we can say yes strategically (saying "no" to items that won't be solved by learning and/or are just "nice to have"), be proactive in our approach, and really work collaboratively with our business stakeholders as opposed to just doing things for them. It's an important part of building your career as an L&D professional. And if you're already in a position of leadership, you'll benefit from this conversation as well. In fact, we need you to join us and share your experiences. Save your spot today! Become virtual friends with the IDIODC gang on Twitter.
