#GuildChat for 09/16/16: Making Content Memorable

Our next #GuildChat takes place Friday, September 16 at 11AM PT/2PM ET. This week we’re looking at how content is made memorable.

The golden calf for learning professionals is having unforgettable learning experiences, ones that stay with learners well after the event, where the ideas, techniques and skills stick over time and context.

In this week’s #GuildChat we look at how best to make content memorable. What research, approaches, tools and technology can help us make the learning content stay with our learners and stand the test of time. As always, we’ll turn to the community to share stories of their own learning experiences and those “sticky” designs they’ve created for their organization’s learning needs.

Join us this Friday for another memorable #GuildChat ;)

Prospective questions:

Q1. What are some examples of content you remember well after encountering?
Q2. What role does emotion play in the making of memorable content?
Q3. How can technology enhance your ability to make content more memorable?
Q4. Can all content be enhanced to be more impactful/remembered? Why or why not?
Q5. How can really boring content be made more memorable? Have an example?
Q6. “Memorable” doesn’t always equal “good”. How do you ensure your content is easy to remember AND effective at the same time?
Q7. How do you highlight the sections of your content that you most want people to walk away remembering?
Q8. Is what makes content memorable universal, or does it vary from audience to audience? Why?
