Episode 115 - Online learning is about the marriage (not the wedding) with Matthew Mason
Today’s guest in Matthew Mason, the Chief Learning Architect at Superb Learning, an innovative content development and training business focused on better training, better outcomes by working with organisations to develop modern and creative learning solutions.
We recorded this interview pre-covid however it could not come at a more relevant time, particularly as we talk about how to move our face to face workshop events online, the importance of creating community, and Matthew also shares helpful tools you can use to create online learning and more importantly, keep people engaged.
I first met Matt when he ran a session during the ILP national conference in Brisbane a couple of years ago. It was a session on how L&D people can sell learning to our internal stakeholders. One thing he mentioned that truly stood out for me, was the concept of L&D people being perceived by internal stakeholders as “the order takers” and how we needed to position ourselves as the learning experts, instead.
