So we're all at Devlin. What I'm trying to do is we have a bunch of us are here. Here, let me do this thing. Heidi Kirby.
Hey,
Bella's here. John, Laura, I, Abby. Sorry. Kara. Anna. And
Hey. Hey, hey.
And wait, I don't remember Tracy. What's your last name? Tracy. That's right. Jeffrey. Jeffrey Andre's. Right. So, Oh, no Echo now either. Good tech in. Excellent. Okay. So what I wanted to do was get this iPad on camera and see if, and I wanted to ask you guys questions about the event. Well, let me get this going.
Oops.
Maybe that won't work. Cause we'll probably get echo. So if you guys get here, I'll probably just do it by regular audio. I should have probably gotten another. All right. So let me do this though. This audio camera working here on this thing.
Don't,
Would it be helpful to use some AirPods to try and like mitigate and
Get echo stuff? I thought about it, but then, you know, just stuff, Oh, for me? Yeah. You Oh, that's a good idea. Yeah, you can try it. You know what, actually, let me, let me just slowly do that as we're doing this. All right. So I wanted to ask, why don't we start with Brie? So what's been your favorite part of the event so far?
Hmm. I, I have really enjoyed the expo actually. And just getting to walk around and meet the different companies, learn about the different technologies out there. I'm new to instructional design, so for me, this is where like a lot of my learning gets to happen by just meeting people and learning about what's out there. And that's been very exciting.
Have you been, but you are a full conference reg. Yes. You've been going to sessions. Yes. Anything in that, in that, that stood out to you?
Yeah, I've been trying to learn more about what people are doing, especially with creating gameified content and what the discussion is around that. So just kind of learning about what people think about that, what people are doing with that. And I think there's some really creative ideas that have been happening from that. Yeah. And that's been really great for me to pick up on some of the creative ideas and feel I can run with those and learn how to do those on like a practical level.
Right. Nice. That's
And different for
Me. Yeah. Well, like Kim was saying, how awesome that a new idea is a dabbler. Yes, that is. I mean, for somebody that's just new to it, it must be kind of intense. Yes. How did you meet Kara and
Through just networking.
Okay.
Yeah, she works.
Oh
Really? I work with her now.
Very nice. All right. Jeffrey, what's your deal? Why, why are you even here? What's your deal? Well, what's my deal? What's your deal? So yeah, we're, we're looking to build out a lot of great content on our platforms and I'm here to connect with designers, design firms, people within the industry to just, you know, find the right people to work with and to connect with. So that's why I'm here. And it's been great. It's been great. A lot of passionate learning professionals who are wonderful to engage in with and learn from and collaborate with. So what, what stood out to you so far, anything in particular? Well, that's a good question. What stood out to me so far? Expo is great. You know, just, I think you go back to the basics, right? Like, I love coming to a conference and you are always can find advanced sessions, but do innovative items. But also, I don't want to deter from the, the learning professionals who are new to this space and how great some of just the basic concepts of what great constitutes have good learning design and development to deter tons of sessions to help people with that. I was just yesterday that talked about, you know, how do we treat everything like research, right? Great. Great skills. Awesome. Excellent. Okay, cool. I do wanna answer a couple questions that I had in the QA area about how cut it was. Do you guys know how many people are here?
3,500?
Yeah,
I think it was about 3,500.
It's 3500, 3500 people here. So it was big costume. Cause I dunno if you guys came 2019, they had to go out to the tent tech, you know, way back there. So it was bigger. But 3,500 was about where they were at when I was, I was still here like in 2015. The Bellagio, they were, they had 35 there. So this is a good size of event you guys. What do you guys think? Have you been concerned at all about protocols?
Yes.
So, no. Yeah,
It's just, I don't, There there aren't any protocols are
There? No, there's, That's it. Yeah. And they're very relieved that there aren't, they, they don't have to do anything
Protocol, which I'm not like super comfortable with that,
But yeah, it's what, it's, I'm always gonna be the odd one out talking about that from an accessibility and
Disabled. Right, Right, right, right. So
Yeah, I, I was actually shocked cause like lesbians, they did have a political in
Place San Francisco. Right. You
Had to, you had to be vaccinated, you had to wear masks, INRs, outburst spaces, you know, didn't have to, but yeah. So it would've been nice to see some
There. Yeah.
Yeah. But yeah.
Cool. Alright, so Heidi,
Okay.
You are a L and D leader.
What
Are you getting at this conference?
For me, it's mostly been about meeting other people in person and talking about what they're working on and what they're doing and talking to the vendors as well. Figuring out what tools team,
Has it been, has it been, so it's been helpful
That way. Absolutely. Yeah. I think just the talking to people outside of the sessions has been all helpful. Yeah. Like, just talking about what people are working
On. Okay.
The different things that they're, they're doing. Nice.
Now I'll ask both you Bella and Laura on this one. Oh. Cause oops. Cause they're getting handed snacks from the both of your speakers, right?
At this
One? Yeah, this one. Oh, you're not speaking? Yeah. Okay. Let me ask this one. How's that process been for you so far? Oh, you haven't done your session yet? I haven't, but just preparing for it. And what's going through your mind?
Oh, I am both nervous and excited. Yeah. So I'll have probably a more coherent answer for anyone after the session tomorrow. Right. I'm mostly excited at this point. I was much more anxious about it before I arrived at the event. Now that I've been here, I'm having those conversations outside the sessions, which I have so helpful and valuable. I feel confident, more confident now that there would be more of a opportunity for me to share something of valued.
Right.
Attend the session tomorrow. So I'm excited about
That. What time is your session? 10:00 AM 10:00 AM Which room?
I think it's Montego.
Okay. All right. So if anybody that is listening head over there tomorrow at 10:00 AM Yeah. So Avi, what have you enjoyed far? I'm get this closer to you. So I, the audit one.
My favorite talk for what it's worth is
There
Was a responsive for slide based training talk and Steve Blank. He did a nice comparison of different tools that are out there. So thinking about switching analysis alternatives. Yeah. That are there. Yeah.
For anybody that is think about coming to this event next year, would, do you have a advice? Absolutely. Come to the event. That's good. Yeah. You get to meet lot of great people, have a lot of connections and take the time to plan for the event beforehand. Just kinda identify what you wanna see. Nice. Nice. All right. Let's ask Kara some questions now. Hey car. I need a good question. What can I ask you? I don't know. Alright, compare this one to, to the 2019. How's it different?
Oh gosh. Well I think a couple things. One thing about 2019 was the first time I presented at DevLearn, so I think I had way more nerves and build up anticipation around presenting. This time, not so much. I do think it was a little bit more crowded in 2019 cuz I do remember having to go outside over the tents, all of that that was a hassle. And then three, like I'm just at a different place in my career than I was like in 2019 versus now. So, you know, I was working for a company versus working for myself. So a lot of my time spend how I continue and what I do, how can I make relationships with people. So it's a different mindset than I think I had in 2019.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Have any advice for anybody that would be coming next year?
Yeah. So one, you are good enough to speak, so get those speaker proposals in. The guild does earmark about 15% of their schedule to first time speakers and it's a great way to not only get your conference fee waived, but it's also a great way to just, again, market yourself and put yourself out there. And two, don't be afraid to walk up to people you know on social media. It's not creepy. Even if you think it sounds creepy, they have been following you a long time. People want to connect and finally meet person. Don't be afraid to walk up to people, welcome them and talk to him. I mean, I, I met a guy this morning and I got goosebumps and he told me this. He said, You posted a job over a year ago that I applied for and I got that job. And it just, I was like, that's amazing. I had no idea. Yeah.
That's really, really good. How much did you do a lot of like social media work specifically to promote your conference appearance here?
Actually, no, not really. Not, not this time. Not as much as I did 2019. 2019. I really wanted to fill the room. I was scared to death that I wouldn't have one person Right. Show up, you know? Yeah. And I was like, what if what I do I do this time? I wasn't as scared as no one showing up. And then when I saw how big the room was, then I was like, Oh my gosh, this is too big. But yeah, it was scary.
Nick, who are you? Huh? That's a, that's a profound question. Who are we really are, right? I'm a learning technologies manager, excited to be here. Nice. Where at? A consumer goods company. Okay. All right. Cool. What have you liked so far about DevLearn? This, this, this, having conversations and standing diverse thoughts and diverse backgrounds. It's really cool just to come together and really share ideas and collaborate on that. Were all wonderful things. Right. How many have you been to this event before? I've never been to Dub. Okay. What surprised you about this in I think that this event really focuses on the applications thing at the most is just theory and other necessity. But I really enjoy just learning how to apply the skills that I have in different unique ways. Okay. You do great in interviews, don't you? Yeah. I don't
Wanna brag, but
Yeah, I I seriously hope that these guys can hear us. I don't know what what is actually going on on the other side of them, but, So Anna,
Hi.
You're doing analytics, right? Yes.
Yes. Well, I'm finishing my PhD where I'm looking at the data behind learning management Yeah. And how we interact with them.
All right. So what are you getting out of this event?
So I came here because first of all, again, the community being around learning and development professionals always kind of lights my fire, makes more excited about the work I do. Yeah. But also because I'm leaving the academia to enter into the professional world and I don't know where I fit. Okay. Cause I'm looking at the data behind the system, how we interact with the systems, but I don't know what instructional designers or learning development professionals want to know from the data that's provided. There we're very much data orders. We love data, gimme, gimme, gimme, but then we don't know what to do with it. And that's what I'm trying to understand is what you wanna do with it. Yeah.
What do you wanna, have you gotten any advice, any, any direction on,
On? So I've, I've met with several people at Dev Learn yesterday during the Open Expo and just trying to understand the differences that the, of the things that the companies do, right? Like some being content managers or producers and other people being like their management system. And then asking the question, collect learning analytics or do you have a dashboard of learning analytics? What kind of questions are you asking of your students? Of your instructors? Of your managers? What do you wanna know? And the best advice that I got was to start having hard conversations with other people about that has, it seems like in my very novice discussions that there's a gap there that we see as a, as a realm, I guess that, I can't think of a better word. We want to know the data, but we still don't know what we are trying to figure out.
Interesting. Do you, are you playing around with X P I and all that stuff
At all? Yes. So I, I tried to take Megan's course, but as you can imagine, trying to like navigate the PhD program and take that was overwhelming for me. So I had to, I had to step back from
Focus on that portion.
That's Tracy and I were just talking about is that might be my next step is looking to API the data that that could provide. Okay.
Yeah.
But I still, the, the root of my question still remains to me. Like, what do you wanna know? Even if I go all this data? Yeah. What do you want
From it? It seems like if you were in Megan's cohort, find a lot of other people that are kind of like you, like look asking that same question.
So
Be nice to, And I know she did like a pre-con this week.
Yeah.
You had some like 86 people in here.
That's
Huge for something
Like that.
I was watching the LinkedIn beep on it looked
Amazing. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Tracy, what are you doing here? And I, sorry, I don't remember any, I know your name and stuff, but
Yeah,
I don't remember exactly.
So I am, This
Is a brownie, don't worry about, It's
The
Brownies.
So I'm Dr. Tracy Shroyer and I am a senior manager number financial services and I'm been our technology area. We, we build all kinds of things for develop related.
So learning related, like can you gimme something
Specific? So it could be skill based. So if you wanna go from, we look at, if you go one level of to the, here are the different skills and here are the opportunities. You just are here are the different resources that you
Yeah, yeah. You that that's me. And I can't remember why. I'm just trying to think
In my head. I'm like,
Take my notes. You probably went to some the Tlbc right? Yeah. Okay. That's part of it, but it's something. Okay, cool. Thanks. Let me see. I'm just gonna check here real quick. What's going on? Rookie Fishers in Jay Rock is taking a nap. Indeed. Let's see. And we see some people in. Alright. Sorry. Alright. Does anybody have any questions out there? I know you're, if you guys have any, you know, any of you have questions at all about the event? Oh, I also wanna introduce John, who's up here. Very cool guy. We were talking about open source earlier. Let's see. And I think, I'm not sure you know what I do. Okay. I'd like to get more from you on the new instructional designer thing. So what was your, what did you do before?
I was a teacher.
So you're one of those transitions? I'm
One of those, yes.
And so are you a working instructional designer now?
I am now, yes. So I've been doing some subcontracting for a little while and I just got my first big gig with Callen Lee. So doing that
Call.
Yeah. So it's my first like big contract that I've gotten taken about a year to get there. Yeah. From teaching. So
What were you teaching before?
Elementary school. Okay. A few difficult grades in elementary.
So. Wow. So this corporate world of, you know, instructional design, massive change for you?
Yes, a hundred percent. I think that I have a lot of the skills. There's clapping happening,
There's clapping. Lets take a look. See what's happening over there at the e-learning brothers.
They're proud of me. No, a lot of the skills are there. It's transferrable. I feel comfortable in the role and in the job itself. But then the bigger picture is, I mean it's a totally different context, right? It's not a school. So it's learning the context. That's biggest change. I'm like writing on acronyms that I don't know
Them later. No, there's that whole level. That's a lot to learn. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, Trish is asking about Josh's, I guess. Swag. I got some socks. I don't know if any of you guys got socks from, had some stuff. All right, Heidi. Yeah. I wanna get, so as a manager and having a team here, has it been worth the investment? Oh yeah. Yeah.
Absolutely. If for nothing else then that
Okay. Team building.
Yeah. And yeah, it's been great. And we done our own thing. Come back together, like shared stories. Yeah, it's, it's great. It's a great thing.
Have you all met before face to face? This is the first time. This is
The first time? Yeah.
Wow. That's amazing. So yeah. That's very, very cool. Huh? Now I'm trying to think of a good question for John. John, what have you learned here so far? Anything good? Can you come up closer? Yeah. Yeah. The things that I like, like learning about is like
Yeah. Just like the different problems that everybody else
Is going saying yes. But like you learn from each other that way, right? Like that's more Yeah. Impactful to, to like, to other people be able to talk through some stuff. But like, hey, I'm stuck on this thing and I need at least in like someone stepped up and then like copy tos and getting new ideas. Cause sometimes you share something for so long or you talk to the same time people all
The time. Yes.
That like, you can't, like you don't, you think you're outside of the box or outside the ballpark. Yeah. But you're, so that's, that's the stuff that I like learning about.
Cool. Okay, cool. And I'm gonna just do this one quick last thing about asking just that, like Heidi, what have you learned
So far since you've been here? Let's see. The thing that I learned was from session on vr, nothing about vr. So like practices for designing theater.
Nice.
My favorite thing.
Bela, what do you got? What? What have you, what have you learned at this event so far?
I promise I've not paid or sponsored to say this specifically, but Tim's session. Yeah. He did a session on animation and it was just like really eye opening to look at it like a different lens instead of just animating everything out there. You know, like why you wanna, and how the degrees that you stuff but, And his style come on. Yeah. Like his style presenting is just Oh no,
He's great. He's amazing. Yeah. Tim, I love him. Yeah. And we're talking about Tim Slade here. What was the name of his community
Again? The eLearning Designer's Academy.
Yeah. eLearning Designer Academy. Yeah. Since Slate, definitely. And Laura, how about you? What do you think, what have you learned so far that's been
Good for you? I'm gonna mention two things by May one. I will say that Kate, the Kevins session yesterday was really fun. Former team Kates. Okay. She was one of the keynotes, the big room yesterday and she is PhD campus at UT Austin. And she does live experiments and just brings a lot of fun and energy into the way that she talks about science to a crowd. So I thought that was great because as someone who used to teach econ Yeah. Which is a can't be a very boring technical topic to, to young people that that was always sort of the target that I was going for was to engage the unsuspecting audience members. That's great. In a subject that they
Heard a ton of good things about that. Awesome.
So I'll stick with that.
Yeah. Anything good?
There was one talk that emphasized it was on contextual mindful learning and it emphasized the importance of
Having
Rightful learnings that are appropriate for the context that someone's in. I thought
Who
The speaker
Right? I don't remember. I'll No, that's okay. Contextual micro learning, learning it sounds about. Yeah. Hi. What have you taken away from this event so far otherwise? Other than getting to know genre group. Very you whole different level
One, I'm not as young as I used to. Two, I really enjoyed Hadiya Nuruiddin' morning buzz about diversity and learning. And the reason I liked it so much is that was a robust conversation to say the least. And I think we get this great cause I think everyone felt safe asking questions, really trying to get clarity around gender, race ableness like wow. And it was, it, especially for seven 30 in the morning was a very deep conversation. But I was very impressed with the level of civility in the room. It could have gone ugly really fast. That
Sounds really good. Yeah. Okay. Nice. Yeah, I saw her, she was doing a book signing. Yeah. But I talk to her but I,
Yeah, she did a great job
Facilitating. Great. All right Nick, how about you think you can pull this computer? Sure. What have you learned too much? No, not enough. I had all depend on the learning analytics sessions and I think that's really an unutilized skill in our community. However, I think most of it was the storyline. The program that they had previously on the really showed a lot of cool things. I, I built a game in the storyline. Yeah. It was really cool. You see triggers and you can select things but overall it's just awesome. See oh Kate the sciences. So the general sessions, if you never can hate the scientists report, she is phenomen and it was really cool to see like the strong, right. And so it was really cool that she tied it into learning community. But overall just lot to learn. Right. So wait, Nick, did you say that it was a precon that storyline? Correct. Correct. So I did the storyline preconference and then they had conference as well when they had a school was was a broad price to see the right John Moore for uon learning. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're just, yeah. I love this guys. Excellent. Alright Anna, what you take away so far from this event? I might have asked you this already, but I feel like I answered that already I guess. Yeah, yeah. Sorry. I
Guess like a, a non on context. I think I've taken the most out of being here around everybody else. Yeah. I also remembered how much of a charge I get about from being around people. But what comes up was come down and I need Naps town, which I needed a nap yesterday.
Oh okay. Yeah.
I like,
I'm
Great.
So I guess just I, I wanna honor that. Yeah that coming back from pandemic and being around all these people and having all that energy is wonderful. But also listening myself and yeah.
That we have that sort of perspective. Its now both pandemic. Like I constantly would've thought about before.
No I would've gone until I crashed.
Yeah. No. Cause this is a lot. I dunno, I this really taking time outta,
Yeah.
Ok. Talk to Tracy Scher. What, what have you gotten out the event?
So for me it's seeing all of you amazing people and seeing people like Heidi. I know Heidi from LinkedIn but never really met in person, so that's awesome. The other thing I would say is I think it's interesting that like some of the key notes, I'll read the descriptions for the keynotes and I'll think like they sound like they're okay or they may not be that good. And I have been blown away by the, for this conference, so far on is the one that stood out to me the most and him talking about the different facts that he's taken through his Yeah. You know, own learning journey. Yeah. And being able to kind of relate to that. Yeah. He also talked about between being a gatekeeper and a servant leader and some of the different themes or dimensions to think about from that perspective. Okay. So that was really helpful for me and that, the other big thing was I had at the bookstore a book that I totally started geek out about. It's all about soft skills written by other PhDs. And so started to, this is exactly what I need, not for my fulltime job for business. Yeah. But blends both of together really nice. Like haven't had read any of it yet. Yeah. Yeah. So I'm excited to be able to dive into
That. Nice. Right. Okay. Wrap it up. But I do wanna ask this one last question. Gimme something negative about this event.
How are we, Jay's taking the Jay rock's not here. Okay.
Give something bad. Got anything bad?
Okay. My hot. Take this one. Woman's opinion. The box lunches are just, they're,
That's all. That's good. That's it. That's the only bad thing about this entire conference. Wonderful. All right. Anybody is got a good bad one? I do. Okay.
It's not a, it's not a huge bad, it's just, I wish there were more spaces for like places for people to sit and maybe have a walk with conversation. Yes. Because I know it's Vegas and there's so much going on, but like the only place we have to sit in water, Water cooler isn't here. But the doors
Will close.
Yeah. So it'd be really nice to have like small tables all with we need, we need
Yeah. That quick. I also would love to see if you ever do a conference, just have a space where people can just lie down and low light and just so that way like never diversion. People can really just kinda, Cause this is overstimulating quiet spot. Agree
Corner in our house.
Did you say corner?
Go for as long as
You want. Awesome.
Here's
I, I hear so it somebody say anything negative about anything. So yesterday I had the last lunch. Yeah. And I, it was not great least right. It made me feel much better about day. Yeah. The Chickener one. It was a lot better by it's Talk to the blue. Any other hots on this side? I know that's two John you guys might like nice I their sessions that overlap and I'm not talking about oh, your thing at one and your things at one. I have to choose SO'S choice. Right. It's like your thing starts at one to two and your thing is one third to two. So yours I have actually use the middles.
Right, right. No, I totally agree. That's, that's a tough one. Let me see here. And I'm like, Rick is saying the cost for non-business affiliating people who want to attend. Yeah. It's restrict, I mean this event really is kind of built, and I know this from experience, be exclusive really is supposed to be an exclusive event and all that is the cost, you know, and it's also built into its ex, you know, to force people to feel home constantly. And you know that I'm next year money, it's anything like its here. I would recommend. Good. I think that overall it has good event. Okay. And oh Kim, your demo fest? Yes. Oh, I will say hi to Jen Yaros. Sure. A demo fest Demo fest happens at four o'clock. So that's in about an hour and 20 minutes. We'll definitely be there. Hey everyone, thanks for jumping in and guests, I really appreciate you participating. I'm so happy that you guys All right. So I'm gonna go ahead and close, Close it out if I can. I probably can. Oh, there we go. No problem Rick. Thanks for jumping. All right everybody. Bye.
