Instructional design
Instructional design is in the spotlight. With the rise of user-generated content, and the increased need for speed, do we still need the practise of ID? And if we do, is the focus on ‘instruction’ outdated and old fashioned? Here with their thoughts is a panel of three, each expert in their own field of social learning, games and user experience.

Chair: Rob Hubbard, Managing Director, LearningAge Solutions Ltd

Instructional design is dead. So what’s next?
Laura Kalbag, Designer, Ind.ie; Julian Stodd, Author on the Social Age
Pete Jenkins, Founder, Gamification+ Ltd

In the golden days of instructional design the course was king and an instructional designer’s job was simple: to design online courses. Then the world changed. We all went mobile and social, gamers grew up and moved into management. There is an app for everything and traditional instructional design is dead. Increasingly the best learning solutions include social and game-like elements. User experience (UX) is now king. In this session we will hear from leading experts on social learning, games and user experience design. As a group we’ll mash up these disciplines to define the role of the new Learning eXperience Designer:

• Learn from experts in social, gaming and UX design
• Explore the intersection of their disciplines
• Mash up design principles and steal what works for you
• Define the role of the learning eXperience designer
• Learn to design experiences that change behaviours

Instructional design

Learning can often be made more effective or restricted by the way materials are presented. Providing the right, aesthetically pleasing, user experience can make or break the impact of materials in an age where learning content is competing with cutting edge apps and websites for people’s attention. Connie Malamed guides us through the visual principles that trigger the right responses.

Chair: Jo Cook, Lightbulb Moment

High impact learning - a crash course in visual design

Did you know that the visual design of eLearning, slides, and other instructional materials have a big impact on learner success? Well-designed materials can motivate learners, improve comprehension, and assist retention. In this session, we will explore the power principles that will have the biggest impact on your designs.

We’ll look at ways that you can apply each principle for maximum success. You don’t need to draw well to improve your visual design skills; you need to learn the foundation principles and apply them.

• Why aesthetic values are important to learning
• Why visuals align with our natural abilities
• Top tips to quickly increase your visual design skills
• Ways to optimize graphics for learning
• How to ensure learners quickly see what is most important

Speaker: Connie Malamed, Consultant for Online Learning and Visual Communication, Connie Malamed Consulting

If you’re an instructional designer, you’ll know that the profession has its fair share of challenges. With more modes of content than ever, and increased time pressure, it seems increasingly difficult to do the job well. Patti Shank has long worked in, and studied, this field, and believes that instructional design is more important than ever – even if the rules of the game keep changing. She invites you to join with her, and dispute, interact and share your own experiences, as she discusses:

• The unchanging core that makes up good instructional design
• The nearly impossible skill set needed by today’s instructional designers
• Rapid design and development: boon or curse?
• The vital human skills IDs require
• International differences in what ‘instructional design’ means

Data is more accessible today than ever before. Yet, as an industry, Design doesn't have a standard method or process for utilizing it. So how can the designers of tomorrow use data as a medium? In this panel, Marijke Jorritsma (Nasa Jet Propulsion Laboratory) and Dean Malmgren (IDEO) in conversation with Joe Meersman (Resideo) discuss how designers can best use data to create the next generation of user experiences.

We’ve all been there or seen it in the wild: someone, somewhere, completely disengaged from their learning. How do we solve this common problem?

Find out in this webinar with Cara North, Senior Learning Experience Designer at The Ohio State University!

In this interactive session, you’ll team up with a virtual sidekick to solve the mystery of the learner’s disengagement. Join us and learn how to create super engaging learning activities.

During the webinar, we will:

- Define learner engagement
- Describe three constructs of learner engagement: behavioral, cognitive, and emotional
- Apply SCORE rubric to create engaging activities

You’ll leave the session with a better understanding of how to design learning experiences that keep people curious and motivated.

Here is the resource link for you: go.osu.edu/disengaged

How can we best design learning experiences with technology? What are the possibilities of gaming and education?

The Future Trends Forum explored these questions with professor Karl Kapp of Bloomsburg University.

Tips for Designing a Conference Room

We're getting new office space! That means, time to flex our A/V design skills...

Join us through our journey of designing a new conference room, and for tips on selecting the right table, chairs, TV, camera, and sound system for your space...AND....There's a free guide!

ꜜꜜLinkꜜꜜ

huddlecamhd.com/3D

We recently acquired a brand new office space as part of our HuddleCamHD team’s expansion process. As we were contemplating the setup for our 3000 sq ft office space, we decided to share some of our insights on the best way to optimize and design a video conference room at your workplace. Our brand-new office space served as an excellent test environment to consider the various aspects of a conference room. We narrow down a conference room setup to 4 major components: the table size and orientation, the LCD/ LED Screen size and height, the number of seats and the camera mounting configurations.

The first step is to accurately measure the office space’s length, width and height to get a better idea of the options available. A handy trick is to count the ceiling tiles and gain a very accurate estimate of the length and width of the floor space. In the US, office spaces generally, utilize 2ft x 4ft or 2ft x 2ft ceiling tiles (distinguishable by their respective rectangular or square shape). The maximum dimensions of the table should be at least 10 feet less than those of the room’s corresponding edges. For example, a 20ft x 15ft room should not contain a table larger than 10ft x 5ft. This separation will enable seamless movement across the conference room.

Our FREE guide gives you a unique equation to optimize the number of chairs that can be fitted into your video conferencing space based on the length of your table. Click here to sign up for our newsletter and access your FREE best practices guide immediately! For example, through our calculations, we determined that a conference room with an 8ft table would fit 8 regular office chairs in total. We put this theory to the text in our own conference space and saw amazing results.

Having a modern conference room setup is critical. Technology changes rapidly, and so does conference room equipment. In this video, Michael Casey from Mainline Marketing will go over the essential equipment needed to make sure your conference room is capable of handling everything from small in-person gatherings, to large meetings with team members video conferencing in from all across the country.

Everything can be broken down into four main categories: display, camera, microphone, and speakers.

Your display can be anything from a large screen TV, to a giant projector. The choices here will largely depend on the actual specifics of your conference room. Smaller rooms might be able to get away with an LCD TV. But if you have a large conference room, or you don’t have a good wall to mount a TV screen to, a projector will be the way to go! The screens can be suspended from the ceiling, and retract when not in use, making them extremely versatile and perfect for most rooms. For the projector itself, look no further than the Barco G60 Projector. And employees or guests can easily connect their laptop or mobile device to the projector using the Barco Click Share Conference.

Microphones are important because anyone on the other side of the video conference call needs to be able to hear you and your team. Rather than having one mic at the front of the room, or sitting in the middle of the table, you should look into an MXA910 Ceiling Array Microphone from Shure. The MXA910 can cover multiple people sitting all around the room. Patent-pending Autofocus technology can fine-tune the audio pick up in real-time, meaning participants can still be heard even if they lean forward or even stand up.

One of the more popular speaker choices is the AcousticDesign series from QSC. These speakers provide crystal clear audio and come in a variety of styles, from surface mount to pendant mount and recess ceiling mount. These speakers come in a variety of sizes, and also both black and white, meaning they can blend in (or stand out) in any room.

When it comes to the camera, QSC offers a variety of options for PTZ Network Cameras. PTZ stands for Pan, Tilt, and Zoom, meaning these cameras can be set up to cover an entire room or focus on an individual speaker. And these cameras can be used with a variety of video conferencing platforms, including Microsoft Teams and Zoom.

Tying everything together is a Q-SYS Ecosystem TS-C80 Touch Screen controller. Control your entire room from one central screen. You can mute and unmute your mic, turn the speakers up or down, turn the projector on and off, and so much more. All with the swipe of a finger.

If you are setting up a conference room and need help determining what equipment is right for you and your setup, contact us here at Mainline Marketing. Many of these products are set up in our Experience Center if you want to see how they work first hand.

Virtual conferences (aka online conferences) are now more common than before, and we think they’re going to be a permanent fixture in academic and research settings. Is that good or bad? Hopefully, by the end of this video, you’ll see why this can be a very good thing for academic and research conferences!

I’m Dr. Echo Rivera and I help academics, researchers, and similar professionals end DeathByPowerpoint and create engaging presentations. For this special video, I brought in friend & colleague, Dr. Barbi Honeycutt to think through some of the disadvantages and benefits of virtual conferences.

Dr. Barbi Honeycutt works with educators who want to learn how to create engaging in-person and online learning experiences. She is the creator and host of the Lecture Breaker Virtual Summer Conference (best conference EVER, in my opinion!) and the Lecture Breakers podcast.

We’re doing this as a series. In this video we’re focusing on virtual or online conferences. We also talked about online professional development, and the video for that is on Barbi's channel here: youtu.be/aZHjcTKuNXM
