Reflections on TLIC 2022
When I returned home after three days of learning, sharing, and collaborating with global leaders in the learning and performance space, I was asked if I could summarize the experience in one word.

Learning Maturity Models
How do you rate your learning organization? Great? Eight out of ten? Purple? We each have an idea of how good of a job we're doing fulfilling the needs of our learners.

Maturity models also give the L&D team members a tangible goal to work toward.
Affectivism and Predictive Analytics at the Learning and Performance Crossroads
A basic tenet of learning and performance (L&P) is that it subsumes the cognitive, psychomotor, and affective domains.

Toward a Learning and Performance Science

You know, digital transformation, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), scalability, low-code/no-code solutions, predictive analytics, shift-left, contextualization, and so many more. An expert recently published a list of 101 terms that data analysts should know.
Unlocking Creativity
Experienced HR leaders and learning experts discuss how the business of education and training can help learners tap their creative potential, why a snapback to pre-pandemic teaching approaches is a no-go, and why the future of learning is interactive.
How are Corporate and Education Learning and Development the Same?
L&D will never be the same. The last year has redefined training. Corporate and Education training both moved online. Our experiences with the move differed. We can learn from each other and make our jobs easier by having a mutually beneficial relationship.
Lessons Learned from an Unexpected Pandemic
The good news is that we appear to be nearing the end of the pandemic at least in some parts of the world. There is clearly much more to be done to make vaccines available to everyone, but in some countries the transition to post-pandemic life has begun and abandoned masks, those items that were precious just months ago, are beginning to appear in the streets.
