Listen "292 — Choosing the right intervention"
Episode Synopsis
Interactive checklists, immersive VR games, bitesized elearning and so many possibilities in between. Learning designers are spoilt for choice when it comes to interventions. How to choose the "right" one? Gemma, along with Tracey, Sean and David from the Mind Tools Custom team discuss: what we mean by interventions who and what to take into account when making a decision examples of interventions and the decisions that led to them. In 'What I Learned This Week', Sean referenced the tinniest mammal, the bumblebee bat. You can about it here: guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/70467-smallest-mammal David's nifty keyboard shortcuts: renaming a file = select file > F2; deleting a file = select file > shift DEL.
