I’m wondering if the beat and rhythm of music can be used to prime a brain ready for learning, supporting some success, at least, to engage with online educational content. There’s definitely something happening physiologically, and harnessing 40bpm might help our neurodivergent learners. https://overcast.fm/+2-B8eIUFc/19:47 #lxdesign #uxdesign #onlinelearning #neuroscience #neurodiversity #accessibility

Excellent, ChatGPT rolling out functionality to turn off certain chats so you can control what trains your tool.

Definitely don’t want my birthday speech drafts training my learning design or user research tool.

Thinking about making the move into #learningdesign? Here’s a career switch story in SMH with a mention of our own Director of Technology, Will Calvert.

I love #lxdesign these reasons:

- it’s project-based so it is versatile, changing and you work with many different teams
- it’s creative; you get to design a new experience and come up with new ways of presenting information or setting challenges for a learner
- it’s science-based; there is an underlying, actually multiple sciences underlying the work of a learning designer
- it’s versatile; each course you design is on a different topic, you range through many disciplines and you get to meet and collabore with the experts in that field
- it’s meaningful; the products, experiences and services we design have the ability to contribute to life-changing learning journeys for our learners and students
- it’s a design discipline; you need to have a design toolbox and continually evolve it in order to solve problems
- it’s multi-faceted; you have to combine all the areas above to come to a good outcome
- it’s evolving; I’ve worked in it since 1999 and in those 24 years (twenty-four?!) the innovation has accelerated each year. Not just in technology, but also in approaches, adoption and research.

Hit me up if you are thinking about this switch.

@transformassess hey hey! Welcome to the toot space!! #lxdesign #learningdesign #eddesign

@katiedigc @gamerlearner @timklapdor and a few others are looking at setting up our own mastodon instance so we can be “real community” again, with perhaps some additional benefits. So yes please add to the doc. #eddesign #lxdesign
