David Kelly’s Curated L&D Content for the Week of 12/6/21
Over 18 months ago I updated the opening copy for my weekly curation to highlight resources that can help us navigate the pandemic, as well as the usual resources that can help enhance our work as learning professionals. Who would have thought a year later we’d still be looking at our work through that dual-lens.
While there’s light at the end of the tunnel with COVID-19, its effects will last for some time after the pandemic ends. Each week’s curated resources will continue to focus on everyday knowledge and skills as well as resources focused on navigating the ever-evolving nature of the pandemic and its after-effects.
Here’s a summary of this week’s content:
- Nine tips for successful teams
- The critical role meaning plays in virtual reality
- Lessons comic books can share for instructional designers
- Tips on how to prioritize DEI in your organization’s DNA
- What will the workjplace look like in 2022?
