    405: The Science of Engagement with Clark Quinn

    We often hear learning businesses say they want to better engage their learners. But what is engagement, and how does it work?
    In this episode, Leading Learning Podcast co-host Jeff Cobb digs into those questions with Clark Quinn, executive director of Quinnovation and author of Make It Meaningful: Taking Learning Design from Instructional to Transformational.
    Jeff and Clark talk about engagement and motivation; learners’ cognitive, affective, and conative involvement; and how the cognitive aspect gets more than its fair share of emphasis. They also talk about the role of emotion in learning, about practice and feedback, and about how the ability to make better decisions is ultimately the desired outcome of most learning experiences.

    402: A Curious Conversation About AI with Julian Stodd

    402: A Curious Conversation About AI with Julian Stodd

    If anything, we should all be able to agree that generative artificial intelligence is a curious thing, worthy of reflection and exploration.
    Julian Stodd is a researcher, an artist, an explorer, a writer, and captain and founder of Sea Salt Learning, which helps organizations set strategy and change direction. He is also a firm believer in working out loud and a previous Leading Learning Podcast guest.
    In this episode, co-host Celisa Steele talks with Julian about ideas from Engines of Engagement: A Curious Book About Generative AI, which he co-wrote with Sae Schatz and Geoff Stead. Julian’s perspective on AI is both technical and philosophical, specific and expansive, and, of course, curious.

Practical and thoughtful

I've been listening to Leading Learning for several years now. Their guests are thoughtful and offer very practical advice and insights that I apply in both inperson and online settings. I often listen while walking my dog....and get home and hop on my computer to check out the speaker, a books, and so on.

Love this podcast

Every time I tune in to one of LL podcast I learn something valuable. I find myself taking notes and looking up show notes so I can refer to key points I learn that I can apply to my work. I have referred several of my colleagues working in the “third sector” of education. Thank you for producing such rich content and interviewing thought leaders in the field.
