Ellen Terrill | Manager of Learning Ecosystems, Swinburne University of Technology

In this video, 360ed.tv chats with Ellen Terrill, Manager of Learning Ecosystems at Swinburne University, about constructing learning ecosystems to enable inclusivity and support student-centred learning.

Defining a learning ecosystem as a holistic approach to learning that weaves together physical and virtual spaces to meet students where they are, Ellen emphasises the notion of student agency and an affordance of space for learners, regardless of whether they attend class in person, online or digitally.

Ellen explores the tactics to facilitate learning ecosystems embedded in her work at Swinburne University, delving into digital technologies and VR poised to blur the lines between physical and virtual spaces. She considers how educators can be supported in testing new strategies, aligning pedagogy to emerging realities, and maintaining humanised teaching.

Barnaby Fox | Learning & Development Professional & Content Creator, Pako Creative

In this video, 360ed.tv chats with Barnaby Fox, a learning development professional and content creator from Pako Creative, who shares his passion for constructing learning ecosystems, environments and spaces. 

Barnaby advocates for viewing learning ecosystems as more than just the technology platforms that support them, and refocusing on the communication and collaboration aspects behind the ecosystem. Without that consultation, he argues, organisations run the risk of introducing a redundant or untapped technology that is not fit for purpose and does little to address core needs. 

He also canvasses learning theories and frameworks to shape mutual understanding, and how to navigate the learning ecosystem proposition with respect to content creation and skill outcomes.

Michael North | Digital Learning Manager, DuluxGroup

In this video, 360ed.tv chats with Michael North about the power of ‘edutainment’ in designing learning experiences that resonate with learners, and how he infuses edutainment principles in his work at DuluxGroup.  

Michael introduces the concept of ‘edutainment’ in L&D as a way to produce enjoyable educational content that captures attention and keeps learners engaged along the learning journey. He contends that by delivering dynamic and even topical content that speaks to learners on a personal level, more impactful and sustained learning is likely to follow.

To ensure edutainment strategies are targeted and aligned to learning objectives, and to offset the risk of superficial learning, Michael also discusses the need for measurement and KPIs to gauge their success.

What are some practical ways to incorporate an edutainment strategy as part of your L&D efforts? Watch the video to learn more.

James Bevelander | Specialist Design Lead, Deloitte

In this video, 360ed.tv chats with James Bevelander about visual design principles to support user-centric learning experiences. With a career spanning various creative design roles, James outlines his current focus at Deloitte on visual design and motion in learning design, and the opportunities and challenges he encounters in his work.

Advocating for early collaboration that brings all relevant stakeholders to the table to consider every angle of a learner-centric UX, James explains his philosophy for ensuring that visual design is seamless and actually facilitates the learning rather than detracting from it. By keeping stakeholders connected, he contends that teams are more likely to achieve buy-in, reduce the ‘scope creep’ and produce an end-product that meets the learning objectives. 

How can visual design in L&D leverage collaboration in order to enhance the learner experience, align with learning objectives and gain stakeholder buy-in? Watch the video to learn more.
