  Training Delivery & Facilitation Special Interest Group Wednesday, October 26, 2022 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM Arizona Virtual Session During the October Training Delivery & Facilitation SIG, we'll help to guide an interactive conversation about what happens in training shouldn't stay in training. Together, we'll explore ideas that work best in facilitating true behavior change. Possible discussion questions will center around... How do facilitators help learners commit to behavior change? How do facilitators help leaders commit to behavior change? Why does behavior change often fail? How is successful behavior change tracked back to a learning program? In which ways can we address the forgetting curve? How do you adapt standard facilitation techniques to guide behavior change? What works best for large groups? Smaller groups? Which techniques work best for remote learners? And other attendee ideas & techniques! Join us to share your own insight and hear from your peers!

  
  

  What is the group?

  In our Training Delivery & Facilitation Special Interest Group, we will focus on the Training Delivery and Facilitation capability of ATD's Talent Development Capability Model™.  Each session will have a focused topic, but we welcome a diverse and organic discussion that may lead to other brilliant ideas. The ATD VOS Training Delivery & Facilitation SIG will meet every other month in 2022.

  Who can attend?

  All learning, development, and talent professionals are welcome to join--whether you've just been told you're to train the new hire or you're a skillful facilitator who can handle the toughest of participants.

  

  How does ATD define 'delivery and facilitation?'

  Training delivery and facilitation are means by which talent development professionals help individuals improve performance at work by learning new skills and knowledge. The practitioner serves as a catalyst for learning by understanding the learner’s needs, creating the right environment for learning, building rapport with participants, and using the appropriate delivery options and media to make learning engaging, effective, relevant, and applicable.

  Instructional Design Special Interest Group Wednesday, November 16, 2022 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM Arizona Virtual Session

  We regularly hear that our learners want more videos in training, but how and where do you start? During the November Instructional Design SIG, we'll help to guide an interactive conversation sharing best practices from building authentic content to using effective video techniques. Our conversation may focus around ideas and questions like— Starting at the very beginning, how do you plan for your training video creation? How do you prepare scripts? In which ways do you build storyboards? Where do you plan to use b-roll? Would you recommend any great apps or websites to help with planning? How do you strategize to build an engaging video? How do you identify the focus on the most relevant content? How do you keep the content and delivery authentic? Are there ways you maintain organizational brand and culture? What are your thoughts on video lengths? What are the best video techniques you use and/or have seen?  What type of cameras do you use? If you're using a mobile phone?  What are the best hidden tricks? Do you have any favorite apps? How do you get yourself and others 'camera-ready?' How do you frame shots? In what ways can you control for the best audio? And more related ideas!

  How does ATD define 'instructional design?'

  Instructional design is an essential element of an effective learning effort. The creation of learning experiences and materials is what results in the acquisition and application of knowledge and skills. Talent development professionals follow a system of assessing needs, designing a process, developing materials, and evaluating effectiveness. Instructional design requires the analysis and selection of the most appropriate strategies, methodologies, and technologies to maximize the learning experience and knowledge transfer.
