Ways for Teams to Learn Together
Instructional design teams should share and learn from each other. You might think you are too old for show and tell, but spoiler alert: you’re not!
For example, my team does a biweekly Demo and triweekly Community of Practice.
During Demo, team members present their achievements from the previous iteration. It’s a great chance to ask each other questions and show off what we produced.
The agendas for Community of Practice gatherings are set collectively. We explore new trends, best practices, and pick each others brains on unique challenges.
What’s great about these ways of growing as a team is that they are free. Even if there isn’t the budget to send people to DevLearn or ATD conferences, we still get exposure to new ideas.
So every time you attend a great workshop or upskill in some way, feed it back to your team! Even key highlights can open other people’s minds to new perspectives.
