The Guide to Design for Learning
Overcoming Digital Fatigue and Creating Engagement
- Business & Economics
- English

The shift to remote work triggered a massive social and technological experiment as organizations moved quickly to digitize in-person training. The early results of this unprecedented migration are in, and with the benefit of hindsight, learning designers are now figuring out the best way to provide learning experiences that are engaging and deliver meaningful business impact.
At first, video-conferencing looked like the best stand-in for in-person learning—or at least, good enough for emergency purposes. As time has gone on, and the horizon for fullyand partly-remote work has extended, the challenges of using video-conferencing as an easy substitute for in-person have come to the fore. Learners suffer from ‘Zoom fatigue’ as learning becomes just another meeting in a daily parade of video conferences. Instructors struggle to recreate engaging in-person experiences in an online format. Many are finding that video conferences consume as much energy as in-person without the rewards.
The net result: it is now obvious that replicating face-toface learning experiences online is more difficult than we thought.
In this e-book, we consider how taking a design approach to learning can inform how and when to use synchronous, asynchronous, and blended online modalities to meet the needs and circumstances of learners, while achieving core learning objectives that are tied to business outcomes.

„Was ich nicht weiß macht mich nicht heiß.“ So oder so ähnlich müssen die Autoren von diversen Sagen – oder Märchenbüchern gedacht haben, als sie einfach irgendwelche Halbwahrheiten abdruckten.
Damit wird ab sofort aufgeräumt.
Aber total.
Aus diesem Grund entschloss sich eine der letzten Waldelfen die Erinnerungen an ihr langes Leben aufzuschreiben. Ihr habt bis jetzt geglaubt, weiße Frauen zu beobachten wäre lustig? Wölfe verspeisten nur so zum Spaß Menschen?
Oder Zwerge sind kleine, goldgierige Stinker? Na gut, sind sie. Einige von ihnen jedenfalls.
Als Kräuterfrau und Halbelfe war Margarethe ein turbulentes Leben garantiert. Wer kann denn außer ihr schon von sich behaupten, auf einem Werwolf geritten oder von einer Nymphe aufgeklärt worden zu sein.
Worüber? Ich werde mich hüten, hier und jetzt alles zu verraten.

It Was Always A Matter Of Wonder To Vandover That He Was Able To Recall
So Little Of His Past Life. With The Exception Of The Most Recent Events
He Could Remember Nothing Connectedly. What He At First Imagined To Be
The Story Of His Life, On Closer Inspection Turned Out To Be But A Few
Disconnected Incidents That His Memory Had Preserved With The Greatest
Capriciousness, Absolutely Independent Of Their Importance. One Of These
Incidents Might Be A Great Sorrow, A Tragedy, A Death In His Family; And
Another, Recalled With The Same Vividness, The Same Accuracy Of Detail,
Might Be A Matter Of The Least Moment.
A Certain One Of These Wilful Fillips Of Memory Would Always Bring
Before Him A Particular Scene During The Migration Of His Family From
Boston To Their New Home In San Francisco, At A Time When Vandover Was
About Eight Years Old.
It Was In The Depot Of One Of The Larger Towns In Western New York. The
Day Had Been Hot And After The Long Ride On The Crowded Day Coach The
Cool Shadow Under The Curved Roof Of The Immense Iron Vaulted Depot
Seemed Very Pleasant. The Porter, The Brakeman And Vandover's Father
Very Carefully Lifted His Mother From The Car. She Was Lying Back On
Pillows In A Long Steamer Chair. The Three Men Let The Chair Slowly
Down, The Brakeman Went Away, But The Porter Remained, Taking Off His
Cap And Wiping His Forehead With The Back Of His Left Hand, Which In
Turn He Wiped Against The Pink Palm Of His Right. The Other Train, The
Train To Which They Were To Change, Had Not Yet Arrived. It Was Rather
Still; At The Far End Of The Depot A Locomotive, Sitting Back On Its
Motionless Drivers Like Some Huge Sphinx Crouching Along The Rails, Was
Steaming Quietly, Drawing Long Breaths. The Repair Gang In Greasy Caps
And Spotted Blue Overalls Were Inspecting The Train, Pottering About The
Trucks, Opening And Closing The Journal-Boxes, Striking Clear Notes On
The Wheels With Long-Handled Hammers. [more]

The Pilgrims And Puritans, Whose Migration To The New World Marks The
Beginning Of Permanent Settlement In New England, Were Children Of The
Same Age As The Enterprising And Adventurous Pioneers Of England In
Virginia, Bermuda, And The Caribbean. It Was The Age In Which The
Foundations Of The British Empire Were Being Laid In The Western
Continent. The "Spacious Times Of Great Elizabeth" Had Passed, But The
New National Spirit Born Of Those Times Stirred Within The English
People. The Kingdom Had Enjoyed Sixty Years Of Domestic Peace And
Prosperity, And Englishmen Were Eager To Enter The Lists For A Share In
The Advantages Which The New World Offered To Those Who Would Venture
Therein. Both Landowning And Landholding Classes, Gentry And Tenant
Farmers Alike, Were Clamoring, The One For An Increase Of Their Landed
Estates, The Other For Freedom From The Feudal Restraints Which Still
Legally Bound Them. The Land-Hunger Of Neither Class Could Be Satisfied
In A Narrow Island Where The Law And The Lawgivers Were In Favor Of The
Maintenance Of Feudal Rights. The Expectations Of All Were Aroused By
Visions Of Wealth From The El Dorados Of The West, Or Of Profit From
Commercial Enterprises Which Appealed To The Cupidity Of Capitalists And
Led To Investments That Promised Speedy And Ample Returns. A Desire To
Improve Social Conditions And To Solve The Problem Of The Poor And The
Vagrant, Which Had Become Acute Since The Dissolution Of The
Monasteries, Was Arousing The Authorities To Deal With The Pauper And To
Dispose Of The Criminal In Such A Way As To Yield A Profitable Service
To The Kingdom. England Was Full Of Resolute Men, Sea-Dogs And Soldiers
Of Fortune, Captains On The Land As Well As The Sea, Who In Times Of
Peace Were Seeking Employment And Profit And Who Needed An Outlet For
Their Energies. Some Of These Continued In The Service Of Kings And
Princes In Europe; Others Conducted Enterprises Against The Spaniards In
The West Indies And Along The Spanish Main; While Still Others, Such As
John Smith And Miles Standish, Became Pioneers In The Work Of English
Colonization. [more]

Assam NRC (National Register of Citizens)
A Study of Defects and Solutions on National Register of Citizens (NRC) of Assam
- Education
- English
- 8424 Words
- Ages 18 and up
The publication demonstrates flaws in National Register of Citizens of Assam, India which is being implemented by the Supreme Court of India directives which is the topmost court of the nation. We are not in any way against the NRC Process in India which is a legal and binding to all people of the state. Officially, the NRC process will address the issue of illegal migrants, specifically from Bangladesh. The National Register of Citizens was first published in 1951 to record citizens, their houses, and holdings. Updating the NRC to root out foreigners was a demand during the Assam Agitation (1979-1985). The current situation in Assam stems from the failure by the state and society to grasp the long-term implications of unchecked illegal migration. A few preventive steps adopted on a long-term basis could have ensured a check on the movement of people from across the border. There would be no need for NRC, the migrants’ flight would take a different course and the shrill voices opposing the identification of foreign nationals in Assam would not have been heard at all. The blame for this must be shared by the people of Assam for not being vigilant enough and the successive governments both at the state and Centre that displayed a total disregard to the danger continuously knocking on the door for the past several decades.
However this much needed reform can have devasting consequences. In the same way many people who are genuine citizens of in the state are not lucky enough to have kept the documents of ancestors which are decades old. Many peoples are illiterate, poor who are hardly earning enough to just survive in this world. Like many Indians elsewhere, some of these people are too poor to possess any identification – all they hold onto is crumpled currency that will buy their families another meal.
We don’t want a single foreigner’s name to be included in the final NRC. But no genuine Indian citizen should be excluded from the list. All genuine Indians must be included in the NRC.
The claims of those left out in the NRC must be heard carefully & humanely. [more]
