Robin Zaccardo reposted thisRobin Zaccardo reposted thisAccelerated programs are everywhere right now, but compression alone doesn’t improve completion, learning, or workforce alignment. On March 31st at 2pm EST, we’re hosting a webinar with Whitworth Online to unpack what it actually takes to design rigorous 6-week online programs for working adults. We’ll share lessons from implementation including what had to change, what didn’t, and where institutions often miscalculate. If your institution is expanding accelerated pathways, this conversation is for you. Register here: https://lnkd.in/gaxbmY8T

Beautifully said. Mullen was such a formative place for me, too — I had so much fun, worked with incredible people, and learned lessons I still rely on every day. Thanks to you, Michael Maione, Pete Tschudy, Katie Desmond, and so many others!

Steady friend. She brought all of it, every day, to every project. The notes pouring in from across the team say the same thing in different words: thank you for the work, thank you for the laughs, and thank you for showing up the way you did. Congratulations, Joyce Spangler. Thank you for everything.

Robin Zaccardo liked thisRobin Zaccardo liked thisI'm hiring a Learning Experience Designer to join my team at Six Red Marbles. The people on my team get to do really interesting work. We build learning experiences for clients across multiple sectors, contexts, and project types, which means no two weeks look the same. The work is hands-on (you'll be designing and building) and strategic (you'll be thinking through pedagogy, assessment, and the right approach for each context). I'm proud of what we make and prouder of the people who make it. Most of my current project work is in higher ed, so I especially need someone who has partnered with faculty SMEs to develop courses outside of their own subject area expertise. That's a specific skill set: knowing how to ask the right questions, translate expert knowledge into learner-facing design, push back diplomatically when the pedagogy needs it, and build trust with faculty who may be new to working with an ID. If you've done that work, I want to talk to you. This is a mid-level role, so I'm looking for someone who already has production experience designing online learning. You've worked in two or more LMSs, you've built in Storyline or Rise, you know WCAG and UDL, and you've thought hard about what assessment looks like in the age of AI. You don't need to be perfect at all of it. Strong in some areas, growing in others is exactly what I want. Growth mindset welcome and expected. If you're earlier in your ID journey and still building toward this kind of role, I see you and I respect the path. This particular opening isn't the right next step, but keep going. If this sounds like your next chapter, click to apply. I'm excited to review your materials if you can demonstrate your experience, ability to dive into the work, and willingness to grow with an awesome team. #hiring #instructionaldesign #learningexperiencedesign #highered #remote

Robin Zaccardo reacted on thisRobin Zaccardo reacted on thisMeet our pe(s)t of the month! Gertrude is a resident groundhog, living in a hole next to the side of a neighbor’s house. She spends her days easily circumnavigating the perpetual trap sitting next to the hole and studying her target (the vegetable garden) from afar, sizing up risk vs. reward. She wonders mightily how her access to that sweet tasting kale has been removed, after the first astonishingly delicious year, and contemplates how she might break through the now-fortress-like buried fencing system around the vegetables. Her forays into the backyard are frequently met with the jet stream of a garden hose and obscenities unfit to print, but to Gertrude, it’s worth the risk. While her appearance in the backyard may be unpopular with the residents of the house, Gertrude enjoys celebrity status among a fan club of social media followers and colleagues who relish the telephoto zoom and doorbell camera video footage and wonder aloud when she will be granted her own parcel of kale to enjoy and feed her growing family. Gertrude enjoys the high praise of her fans exclaiming how cute she is, even if the sound of a human voice prompts her to dive back into her hole. In the meantime, Gertrude is reasonably content to enjoy the dandelions in the grass and daydream about the tastier possibilities inside the fence. Gertrude’s human mom (kryptonite), Ilana Prusock is a Supervising Editor for Six Red Marbles. Ilana has more than 10 years of experience in the educational publishing industry, focusing primarily on K–8 math education, and 20 years in the education industry.

Robin Zaccardo liked thisAccelerating a course is one of those things that may seem simple – especially since you have all the content – but is really quite complex. It’s tough to accelerate a course because smushing all of the course content into 6 or 8 weeks just doesn’t work. The course needs to be intentionally redesigned with the learner in mind throughout. Who’s taking accelerated courses online? Often it’s busy adults who are juggling multiple responsibilities and cramming coursework into little pockets of their days. These are tricky learners to design for because while they’re invested in the course, it’s usually not their number one priority. In accelerated format especially, that can mean they fall behind alarmingly fast. In this clip, Elizabeth Badolato, one of our Associate Learning Experience Designers, shares how the learner guides every choice we make when accelerating a course. This is part of a larger conversation with the LXD team where we talk about our guiding principles for success in an accelerated format.
