For learning and development professionals the 70:20:10 model means changes need to be made to the way a program is evaluated. One of the opportunities involves moving away from focusing on measuring learning to measuring the outcomes from the program.

The 70:20:10 model is not easy to transform into reality.  Learning and development people are often unsure about where to start with the model. Sprout Labs has put together the  Learning While Working Framework to help guide the design and implementation of 70:20:10 learning models.

Digital learning has huge potential and the 70:20:10 concept is one way to achieve this.

This blog post looks at how the 70:20:10 learning model affects learning and development teams.

A roadmap for Glasshouse development in 2016 and features we’re adding to support the 70:20:10 learning model.

Content curation is the process of collecting and organising content in a meaningful way. In the case of learning, content might be from either inside or outside the organisation. One of my favourite examples of content curation is Stephen Downes’ OLDaily.

 

Sprout Labs is trialling a new webinar format that we’re calling ‘open labs’. They focus on discussion and sharing between participants. The first one will be a discussion on the 70:20:10 concept and TAFE.  

The conversation will be structured to explore the following questions.

Often the problem with just ‘doing a job’ is that the majority of work tasks that people face are not tough enough to accelerate their learning. We often think about the 70:20:10 model as focusing on the 70, the on-the-job learning.

Some Sprouts and Brian Jones, Web Services Development Officer at Hobart City Council, just took part in GovHack 2015, where we built a mobile augmented reality game using local government datasets. The game is a simple 'Dungeons and Dragons' hack-and-slash-fest designed to raise awareness of council public assets.

xAPI is an exciting new way of tracking and recording learning. We see it as being a key technology to enable the 70:20:10 learning model. We have two FREE webinars coming up on xAPI and 70:20:10 that we are running in collaboration with Leo Gaggi from Brightcookie.
