You may just need a skills training in that.... #learnchat

These questions have been awesome. Kudos to the @learnchat.bsky.social peeps. Thanks for great insights, as always. I need to figure out how to do this with my team. #learnchat

A7) Put people in the parade as well as on the sidelines to understand the needs, and make sense out of them. Consider it iterative, adaptable rather than the be-all-end-all strategy to be framed and followed. Wait a minute. Things will change. I promise. #learnchat

The orange one is at war with everyone. Except those who have mainlined the koolaid. So glad to see people rising up with protests like Hands Off. Wondering if we are going to see a civil war out of this mess.

#learnchat A5) To make personalization really work, everything needs to be relevant - context, skills needed, proficiency level, assessment of progress. Plus! The more personalized something is, the less generalized data we get as L&D folks to learn from...

Great point. #tangent How do I get the LMS to credit the passing pretest and skipping the required course? My LMS gets baffled by a seemingly simple task. #learnchat

A6) We need to create #FOMO around those skills. Look at the difference between #DEI training and picking up #AI skills. Both were needed. Most only see value in one. Though there are lots of folks running from the evils of AI. They will watch the parade pass them by. #learnchat

Q6: What are some ways organizations can help employees understand the skills they already have and those they may need to grow? #LearnChat

I think we have to add motivation in there. They #gottawanna. All the goals in the world won't make them want it.

A5) I think the self-driven world we inhabit makes for the best personalized learning path. We see a need in ourselves, and remediate the gap. But alas, we are a rare breed. I've worked with folks who have to be dragged kicking and screaming to professional development they need. #learnchat

Q5: Personalized learning paths based on skills sound great, but what makes them actually work in practice? #LearnChat

Jean Marrapodi @jmarrapodi.bsky.social · 09/04/2025

Right! I get asked to teach Business Writing to fix poor writing when the real issue is developmental English learning by folks learning a new language. Teaching how to write an email doesn't pinpoint and help fix that. Good communication is so broad. #learnchat

A4. Part of developing skills has to be creating opportunities to practice and get meaningful feedback. You can't just watch it done once and then perform competently. You need to practice to build skills and get feedback to improve. #LearnChat

Of course so much belongs to #CaptainObvious and we need to filter those things out or our needed skill list would be a mile long. #learnchat

I do believe that comes from job/task analysis and comparing what's the same. Kind of like what Bob taught on Sesame Street. #learnchat youtu.be/rsRjQDrDnY8...

So maybe we need a manager test for them to take. Yea, not gonna help either. #learnchat We believe in total immersion and sink or swim when we make managers. Go figure it out. Kind of like #parenting

A3) This is what the role is in every nonprofit you'll ever work or volunteer at. The role is one thing, but you wind up doing 8 zillion other things.

It comes back to the doing. Can you do what you say you can do? You have to be able to show what you know. #learnchat #showwhatyouknow

Reminds me of software definitions I read once: Easy to learn: hard to use. Easy to use: hard to learn. Easy to learn AND easy to use: won't do what you want. #learnchat

Q2) When I go to a conference and everyone is doing something I haven't a clue how to do said thing, I determine there is a gap and I need to figure it out. That's seeing a need and meeting it. #learnchat #keepingupwiththepeeps

Q1) Skills-based would seem to align to the DOING part of KNOW and DO of our craft, but I think it's more related to competencies and designing to meet them. #learnchat

Good evening. Jean Marrapodi, elearning architect from Boston MAish. I learned that repurposing something from a Storyline course doesn't always work like you expect it to and may have been easier to build from scratch than to troubleshoot the hiccups. #learnchat
