292 — Choosing the right intervention

Interactive checklists, immersive VR games, bitesized elearning and so many possibilities in between. Learning designers are spoilt for choice when it comes to interventions. How to choose the "right" one? 

Gemma, along with Tracey, Sean and David  from the Mind Tools Custom team discuss:

• what we mean by interventions 
• who and what to take into account when making a decision
• examples of interventions and the decisions that led to them.

In 'What I Learned This Week', Sean referenced the tinniest mammal, the bumblebee bat. You can read more about it here: guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/70467-smallest-mammal

David's nifty keyboard shortcuts: renaming a file = select file > F2; deleting a file = select file > shift DEL.

Tracey talked about her visit to Loch Garten. You can find out more about the flora and fauna at this magical place here, rspb.org.uk/reserves-and-events/reserves-a-z/loch-garten/

Gemma mentioned Yester Castle and the army of goblins that built and now haunt it. Wikipedia expands on the myth here wikipedia.org/wiki/Yester_Castle
