I started learning sign language at the same time I started drama at school. Both felt connected. The visual symbolism & physical storytelling in #BSL made immediate sense to me. This post gives the simplest example of how symbolism shows up in sign👇 #Learning #Connection #Storytelling

Imagine making your digital & print resources accessible in sign language without increasing operational overhead. For learning, DEI, & customer engagement teams this isn’t just "nice to have", it: - Reduces accessibility gaps - Enhances engagement/supports autonomy - Builds trust/connection 🔗👇
The AI British Sign Language logo is at the top of the image. Underneath is a laptop with text on the screen that says "Join our webinar! Thursday 12th February 2026, 09:30 - 10:15 (GMT)". Arrows point from the laptop to three bubbles with questions in them: Why can't English text replace BSL/ASL?; How does AI handle the complexities of BSL/ASL?; What services are available if I want to add AI BSL or ASL to my resources and events?

Excited to share a whole range of new features at this session! ✨ If you're looking to make resources more accessible with British or American Sign Language, this translation solution should definitely be on your radar. Hope to see you there, and please share 😊🫶 #BSL #ASL #Book #Accessibility

Thrilled about this! When I hopped on a call with the wonderful @janebozarth.bsky.social to see if she could offer advice for my work at AI British Sign Language, I never imagined it would result in the tool being showcased at DevLearn. Filled with gratitude. The #LandD industry is so supportive.

Planning a summer event? ☀️🎪 Here's how to improve it for BSL users: 👐 Offer surfaces for drinks (hard to sign if hands are full!) 💡 Avoid harsh/shadowy lighting (people need to see facial expressions) 🎤 Ensure your digital translator or interpreter, and captions are visible #Events #Networking

Want to know what your people really think about your strategy? Ask them how the conversation sounds in the coffee break ☕ or at the water cooler🚰 🧠 Culture is shaped in everyday conversations. Find the people who shape the conversation. That’s where real culture lives and real change begins.

My checklist for the day: ✅ Read a book about checklists Apparently The Checklist Manifesto is entertaining and game-changing! Join the @thelearningnetwork.bsky.social's Book Club to discuss it. No reading required. 🗓️ Thurs 5th June 🕖 7-8pm BST 🔗 thelearning-network.org/event/the-le... #LandD
'The Checklist Manifesto: how to get things right' book by Atul Gawande, held up to a bright blue sky. The front cover says 'by the bestselling author of Complications and Better'. There is a quote by Malcolm Glad well - "it has been years since I read a book so powerful and so thought-provoking".

Research suggests 25% of employees have a disability or health condition that limits their life activities. Most orgs believe the figure is only 4-7%. @susimiller1.bsky.social could have dropped the mic there 🎤💥 Thankfully, she stayed for all of @thelearningnetwork.bsky.social's Book Club tonight!
The front cover of a book. It is dark green with light green text that says '2nd edition. Designing Accessible Learning Content: A practical guide to applying best-practice accessibility standards to L&D resources. By Susi Miller.' The Kogan Page publishers logo is at the bottom of the page. There are several icons representing accessibility and learning, including hands, a computer screen with a video icon, an ear, a person sitting in a wheelchair, a telephone, and a magnifying glass with text underneath it.

I'm still pondering insights shared at #LT25UK by @jeppehansgaard.bsky.social, CEO @innovisor.bsky.social ky.social Grounded in Dunbar’s Number theory, Jeppe outlined L&D’s need for awareness of social groups in organisations & the benefits of creating high-impact networks. More below👇 #LandD #T5S3
A slide titled “what is organizational network analysis”. Underneath is a diagram labelled 'What you normally see'. It shows an organisation chart with a hierarchical structure. Individuals are only connected to others in their teams, and each team appears to work in isolation. Next to it is a diagram labelled 'what an analysis of connections shows'. There are clusters of people from different teams who are all connected with lines, showing the interconnectedness of people and managers across the organisation. A photograph of Jeppe standing behind microphones on the stage. The Learning Technologies London UK 2025 logo is in front of him. He has a warm, friendly smile on his face. Next to him is a slide with the title 'Contagion happens through connectedness'. At the bottom left of the slide is a person with an arrow labelled '15%'. The arrow points toward a second person in the image, symbolising the energy passed on to them. Another arrow, labelled '10%', points from the second person in the image to a third person, showing how energy is passed through lines of communication.A slide with the title 'what can you do? #ThreePercentRule. The Innovisor logo is visible at the top of the slide. There are two diagrams of dots connected with lines, representing employees and how they are connected. The first diagram highlights three key people among the organisational networks. The second diagram has circles around the three key people, illustrating their spheres of influence. Together, the three key people are connected to 85% of all employees.A slide that says 'how to work with the three percent'. There is a horizontal line that's labelled 'formal' at one end, and 'informal at the other. A vertical line passes through the centre of it, with the labels 'structured' at the top, and 'unstructured' at the bottom. 'Leadership and communication' is displayed in the formal - structured quadrant, 'listen and co-create' is displayed in the structured - informal' quadrant, 'sensemaking' is listed in the informal - unstructured quadrant, and 'role-modeling' is listed in the unstructured - formal quadrant. Arrows point from leadership communication, listen and co-create, and role-modeling to the sensemaking quadrant.

"Skills don't age well" Skills frameworks are outdated. The cost of delay in rolling projects out due to skills-driven perfectionism is high. More from Seminar Theatre 7 👇🏻 #LT25UK

Fail? I've moved house loads in the last month. Landed at my #LT25UK hotel. Realised what I slipped out of an unopened box is 2024's programme 🤦🏻‍♀️ 🧠 Not failure. Spaced repetition! A chance to link @lauraoverton.bsky.social's L&D Value Spectrum to insights shared in 2025. A moment of being human!
A laptop on a hotel desk. Sunlight is shining diagonally across the screen. On top of the laptop and two documents - the Learning Technologies programme from 2024, and an A4 sheet that says "The L&D Value Spectrum". It states that learning value includes: Activity - open rates, attendance, happy sheets, test results, and completion rates; Efficiency - savings in time, money, and resources; engagement - usage, satisfaction, contribution, collaboration, ratings and shares; Usefulness - net promoter scores, intention to change, relevance, and application and transfer; Performance - speed of adoption, business KPIs, critical tasks, teams; Talent - skill, capability, engagement, retention, future ready; Culture - innovation, agility, leadership, inclusion. 

At the bottom of the document is a logo that says "Learning Changemakers, insight, inspiration, impact". Rethinking our position on L&D impact. Find out more: www.learningchangemakers.com. 

There is a QR code at the bottom right of the document/photograph.
