Designing for How People Learn

Julie Dirkson with Dr. Joanne Bentley & Graham Edmondson -- #5

In this episode of Leaders in Learning Design, Joanne and Graham are talking with Learning Strategist and Instructional Design author Julie Dirkson. She specializes in making learning and instructional theory accessible to designers by assignment. Her practical, grounded approach is focused on how people learn. She recommends always starting with good learning principles, regardless of the delivery medium. Even the classically trained ISD professional may benefit from her iconic stick figure learning analogies to upgrade their approach.
