The eLearning industry has had mobile learning, or mLearning, for well over 15 years now. Wow! Has it really been that long? Yep.

So, are you creating mLearning? Have you moved to a mobile first methodology? What about your SCORM packages in your LMS are they mobile ready? And don't forget about xAPI...

Aaahhh....

It can all feel a little overwhelming. But thankfully we have Robert Gadd with us on this episode of IDIODC. He's going to help us clear the air, and make sense out of the confusion. As one of the earliest proponents of mLearning, Robert has seen it all. He's developed many, many mLearning solutions and understands the frustration instructional designers have.

When we're done, you'll have a much better idea of how to proceed with mLearning in your organization. And we'll sort out the big question: SCORM? xAPI? or both?

Robert is an experienced technologist with demonstrable experience designing, developing and leveraging next generation technologies while building successful companies. Currently leading OnPoint Digital, an ISV/services firm specializing in training and organizational development solutions for private and public sector customers. OnPoint markets an enterprise Learning Engagement Platform supporting formal and informal learning in both online and mobile modalities.

If you work in any of the highly regulated and controlled industries as a trainer or instructional designer, you may have found it to be lacking in creativity and innovation. You likely spend the majority of your time developing and supporting compliance training that must first be approved by a committee of members from all departments. And we all know how that turns out. Learners receive boring slides filled with jargon approved by the legal team.

The good news is that it doesn’t need to be that way. As an instructional designer working in the finance industry for many years, James Gilchrist has taken on the task of navigating difficult environments, pushing up against corporate boundaries, and succeeding at being innovative.

It’s not often that we find a creative soul like James working in this type of environment and willing to share his tips and tricks with the IDIODC community.

James is an Associate Director at the DTCC (Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation) in its DTCC Learning department. Hired as an Instructional Designer on contract in 2008, he made the transition to FTE in 2010 and has spent the last ten years developing client learning initiatives for many of DTCC’s core financial service offerings. He considers the work of building learning solutions and the experience of managing client relationships as equally important when it comes to creating innovative corporate training that makes an impact.

Whether you're a learning professional or a marketer, you're competing for the same thing: attention. Without it, you can't get people to think and act in new ways. Though, there is one big difference between these two professionals. Marketers have been much more successful. Savvy marketers understand that tapping into the psychology of emotions sparks engagement in today's hyper-distracted world. That's a mindset learning professionals need now more than ever before.

Mike Taylor joins us for an engaging conversation about the many things corporate training professionals can learn from marketing professionals. We'll discuss the psychology of our audience and how marketers are better at leveraging their emotional needs with engaging imagery, video, and copywriting skills. You'll leave with a better understanding of how you can still be an instructional designer but improve your effectiveness by thinking like a marketer.

With over two decades of real-life, in-the-trenches experience, designing and delivering learning experiences, Mike Taylor understands that effective learning isn’t about the latest fad or trendy new tools. Known for his practical, street-savvy style; Mike directs learning technology and online learning at Mindset Digital in Columbus, Ohio. He shares what he learns on his website at mike-taylor.org. He also has an MBA from OhioUniversity and a Master's in Educational Technology from San Diego.
