Starbucks and Sephora are just a few of the organizations who have been faced with scandal due to a lack of emphasis placed on diversity and inclusion (D&I) within their organizations. While organizations have gotten better (they still have a ways to go!) at hiring a diverse workforce, there is still much to be done to ensure employees at all levels are self-aware of internal biases and how they affect decision making.
While diversity training is not the only solution to creating an inclusive workforce, it is an important piece of the equation. But, how do you create an effective D&I program that will be embraced by learners, even as they are having to acknowledge some uncomfortable truths that exist in our society? Even more difficult, how do you create this type of program in the online space? In this webinar we will discuss how to overcome challenges within D&I training, share some real examples of effective online programs and explore strategies for how to position D&I training within your organization.

Competent virtual facilitators have quite a few enviable skills.
They’ve been trained on the nuances of how to teach virtually and have mastered their virtual classroom platform. (Zoom, WebEx, Adobe Connect, etc.) They consider the principles of adult learning throughout every delivery. They manage the entire experience. And so much more!

The correct access enables effective and efficient, seamless and frictionless, agile and ubiquitous access to workflow assets.
A Point-of-Work Assessment (PWA) is used to define intentional design criteria for the 7 Right Things with access representing a key element. After all, what good are the best-designed resources/assets if they are not accessible when needed?

Training alone cannot drive performance, only contribute to it; that’s the root of the problem. L&D already excels within long-held training paradigms to deliver effective knowledge transfer—it’s not wrong, it’s just not enough!
The business needs workforce productivity, meaning consistent performance at Point-of-Work, where performance represents the productivity end of a learning-performance continuum. In the current training paradigm, Point-of-Work is out of scope. Traditional training needs assessments cannot inform “intentional design” frameworks like the Five Moments of Need or even 70:20:10, both of which enable convergence of learning with work. Point-of-Work and moments of need are also out of scope for existing LMS technology. Both the conversation and tactics must change, because stakeholders have a blind spot—they expect one thing, training, and it’s not enough.

Ready to design more effective, engaging blended learning? You need Perpetual Learning Design, an approach that combines activities, resources, and lessons into a personal learning pathway.
We're not just designing courses anymore. We're designing experiences that support learners all of their formal and informal moments of learning need. This means recognizing that each learner has a unique path to follow and supporting them along the journey every step of the way. That's what InSync's Perpetual Learning Design Model is all about.
This modern approach to blended learning design meets the needs of learners no matter what their learning environment.

As a facilitator, you have a great deal of control over environmental, intellectual and emotional engagement for learners.
The goal for any facilitator is to establish and maintain an environment where learners will engage with the learning experience by optimizing the development factor in each learner.

What does it mean for a learner to be engaged?
Quite literally hundreds of articles every year use the term, with few making little or any effort into defining it. But several current research efforts directed at cognition in learning environments suggest there are at least three separate factors at play: Emotional engagement, intellectual engagement, and environmental engagement.
