General Summary and Background As a part of an ongoing project to provide training modules for new chapter members that are informative on a range of topics of relevance to talent development professionals, this course will present information to introduce learners to the concept of the learning sciences, their primary features, and relevance to talent development professionals. The project is organized via a Trello board. The course will consist of eLearning modules that will provide: • • • •
A definition of the learning sciences, An outline of the different disciplines that make up the learning sciences, The different kinds of research pursued in each of the domains and Interactive learning assessments engage the learner and promote transfer.
The module will also include links to resources available through the Association for Talent Development (ATD) or other online open-source resources.
Reviews and Approvals Trello submissions bi-weekly using: BETA TEST/PILOT REVIEW CHECKLIST From Piskurich, G.M. (2015), Rapid Instructional Design Chapter 6 (See Project Resources).
Learner Personas 1. Transitioning (less than 3 yrs experience) Shaquille has been a millennial in Education for the past eight years. He's ready for a shift out of the classroom and has always enjoyed creating learning for his students. He currently teaches middle grades and has been participating in formal training to make a shift to learning and development/ID. A couple of years ago, he completed his Master's in Education. 2. Senior (10+ yrs experience) Jenna -born in 1975 -has a BA
-worked in corporate HR for ten years -got MA in ID studying p/t while kids in middle/high school -now in a management role at a mid-size co. 3. Mid-Career (3-5 yrs. experience) Cris -born in 1965 -Completed BA a long time ago -Need to upskill -has worn many hats in the L&D field
Learning Objectives
•
Include multiple interactive elements
After the module, learners will be able to:
•
Utilize Design Thinking and Visual Design Principles
•
Use a variety of instructional mediums to create and provide your content
• • •
Describe what the learning sciences are. Identify the different disciplines that make up the learning sciences. Identify the different kinds of research performed in the various disciplines of the learning sciences.
Assessments and Evaluation There are four elements of evaluation for this project. 1. Deliverable evaluation for quality and consistency
Technical Requirements The module will be built using Articulate Rise with Storyline elements incorporated for interactions as detailed in the content summary and storyboard sections.

Content Summary / Outline I.
Module 1 Learning Objective: •
Describe what the Learning Sciences are.
Introduction Video Script ------The Learning Sciences encompass all the disciplines that support our understanding as learning and development professionals of the biological, sociological, psychological, and cognitive factors that influence how individuals and groups acquire knowledge. The anthology Learner and User Experience Research describes the Learning Sciences as a "transdisciplinary discipline," or a form of interdisciplinary study that combines and synergistically "transcends" the benefits of the component disciplines by "create(ing) something entirely new (Schmidt et al., 2020)." This phenomenon is related to the synergistic qualities of working in diverse teams toward a common goal. The learning sciences provide learning and development professionals with science-backed strategies, tools, and technology to optimize the design and delivery of instructional content centered on the learner's needs.
Review of the disciplines that make up the Learning Sciences. The module will present a brief slideshow to the learners to click through each slide to learn about some disciplines within the Learning Sciences: neuroscience, educational psychology, human-computer interaction, sociology & philosophy. In the interactive slideshow, different parts of each slide will connect to sub-topics identifying different theories and research areas associated with each discipline. At the end of the module, the learners will complete a brief quiz where they drag and drop the different theories and research areas to the group they correspond with from the lesson about the various disciplines of the learning sciences. III. Module 3: Lesson – The Benefits of Complexity: Review of the synergistic benefits of diverse systems through emergent properties. Define complexity theory and then have the learners proceed to the next activity. They will select pairs of scientific disciplines from the learning sciences, and depending on their selection, a recent innovation from the learning sciences that draws upon the two disciplines selected will appear with a summary of the research and its impact on the Learning and Development profession with links to additional information about the topic. IV. Module 4:

Lesson – Social Learning:
---
One of the research areas within the Learning Sciences is the benefits of learning when collaboration is a part of the learning modality. The learners will be prompted to write a brief blog post about the discipline they have researched further, why it was of interest to them, and to provide a link to their post. It can be posted to a social media account (LinkedIn, Facebook, or their platform of choice) or any other online forum that they prefer, so long as the content is published where others can respond and interact with their ideas and observations. Although the other participants in the course may not find their specific deliverable, the learner will hopefully be engaged by someone in their network who responds/likes/engages with the content they have created in a way that provides the benefits of social learning for the learner.
II. Module 2 Learning Objectives: • •
Identify the different disciplines that make up the learning sciences. Identify the different kinds of research performed in the various disciplines of the learning sciences.
