The iDeas Podcast: Recent Episodes
Tom McDowall
Instructional Designers sharing ideas and drinking tea (and other assorted beverages) really says it all. I'll be sharing conversations and a cup of tea with people from every part of the learning and development community.
You can watch the video of every episode on the IDT YouTube channel. There you'll also find other awesome instructional design content including our monthly ID Update show! https://www.youtube.com/c/InstructionalDesignTips
This episode of the iDeas Podcast was recorded live on 17th November 2023, at LN Connect 23, The Learning Network's annual conference. I am joined by the fantastic Helen Marshall, CLO at Thrive Learning who I first met at LN Connect 2019.
In this episode, I ask Helen about her journey from senior instructional designer back in 2019 to CLO in 2023, and what the future of learning might look like.
Helen also fielded several audience questions covering metrics, AI, and human connection. As always, we wrap up with Helen's big idea for L&D.
You can connect with Helen on LinkedIn
And listen to her podcast, Diary of a CLO

DISCLAIMER: As of April 2023, I began working at Thrive as a product manager. This episode was NOT sponsored by Thrive and full editorial control for this recording sits with me. Instructional Design Tips, and by extension, the iDeas Podcast, did sponsor the LN Connect 23 conference. If you have any questions regarding any of this, please contact me directly, transparency is important.

Yo ho, ho ho, it's a learning life for me! In this episode, I had an absolute blast chatting with Lauren Waldman, a.k.a 'The Learning Pirate'. Lauren's a certified learning scientist who's on a mission to make brainy stuff more approachable. We kick things off by hearing about how she ended up becoming a 'Learning Pirate' and what made her venture into the fascinating world of learning sciences.
We then delve into the murky waters of why so many folks in the Learning and Development (L&D) realm aren't clued up on brain matters. Trust me, Lauren doesn't hold back here!
It's not all doom and gloom though. Yes, the brain can be a complex and confusing beast, but Lauren and I discuss how it's not only possible but vital, to start learning more about it. With her insights, she makes the daunting world of neuroscience feel like an exciting treasure hunt.
So, ready to embark on a thrilling journey into the brain? Join us, and let's discover the hidden treasures of effective learning together. Beware, once you start exploring with 'The Learning Pirate', you might never look at learning the same way again!
