It's the final blog! This week is a summary of my main learnings on the course so far and some ideas for what I think could be improved upon. https://t.co/3z1AOYN5pM

This article (https://t.co/hYYoW7aUiH) makes some really robust arguments for the benefits of microlearning. Interestingly, it also recommends practical use-cases for targeted microlearning training interventions in the hospitality industry! #tcidul

With the end of my MA in sight, I wanted to share this podcast episode on job interviews: https://t.co/3z7NMBz6C1
I found it to be immensely practical and reassuring with a lot of down-to-earth advice on dealing with the pressures of interviews! Highly recommend #tcidul

5/5 recommendation, it's definitely more of a casual musing! But anecdotally, I've experienced PTs alienating clients due to a total lack of audience analysis and empathy for that audience's unique circumstances and my personal feeling is - it wouldn't hurt! #tcidul

Online shopping for workout leggings. Open the product filter to select the length. Turns out, the lengths are described in inches in the names of all the leggings, but listed in centimetres in the filter. That’s helpful 😂 Some #technicalcommunication guidance needed! #tcidul

Fascinating article that describes some really practical uses of augmented and virtual reality for training purposes. It’s not just for medical devices - it’s used in retail and safety training too! https://t.co/qEMhzTTeh3 #tcidul

@Sinead_UL Strategic thinking! You have to spin a lot of diff plates to successfully launch a learning asset. Also the ability to stay calm when people with zero learning knowledge are confused as to why you can’t just take screenshots of pages with walls of text in lieu of training 😂

#Linkedinlearning has excellent courses if you want to learn new design tools. There is a step-by-step tutorial on Adobe Captivate with downloadable job aids to enable self-directed learning. It covers the full functionality of the tool. Highly recommend! #tcidul

(6/6) meditative practice - it's used the world over to calm the central nervous system.

Storytelling doesn't have to be some noble quest against all odds. It can be as simple as an everyday example of a shared experience to create a meaningful connection.

Thread alert! (1/6) Video: The Role of Storytelling in Learning Experience Design https://t.co/kraudV9rbV via @YouTube In this informative video Eric states storytelling is about a character, in pursuit of a goal whilst faced by a challenge. However, time constraints don't
