Lessons from Terrible Students

About Lessons from Terrible Students

An L&D podcast with Senior Instructional Designer Jeremy Brown & Senior Project Manager Sarah Meyer. To put it simply: we are terrible students. That doesn't mean that we aren't paying attention, that we don’t understand the course content, or that we can’t pass whatever assessment is at the end. It means that if we’re in a class, we’re probably evaluating the course itself more than listening. We are listening to speech patterns, evaluating how the course is put together, and if the flow is how “we would have done it.” My hot take, one of many discussed in the podcast, is that the most effective IDs are actually terrible students. This type of ID is the training SME you want when it comes time to engage other “terrible” students. Check us out at lumious.com

   L&D Onboarding

   In this episode we talk about our onboarding experience and answer the questions "Who trains the trainers?." In our experience L&D teams have the responsibility to see to every one else's training, but theirs is often overlooked. We discuss the first steps of our learning journey, and how we can help others on theirs.
