#Teaching Learners for the Long Tail of Time

https://tedcurran.net/2026/01/teaching-learners-for-the-long-tail-of-time/

I've long believed a teacher’s goal is not only to implant knowledge into learners’ brains, but to help them develop their own digital #secondbrain - an enduring repository of their best #learning to build on and refer back to over time. This post describes some projects I've built with this philosophy in mind. #pkm #instructionaldesign #elearning

Detailed research can sometimes be an impediment to classroom planning. Effective frameworks must find a balance: using language complex enough for scholars but clear enough for practitioners to guide instruction design. #InstructionalDesign #K12

Prof. Dr. Felix Schönbrodt (@nicebread), LMU Open Science Center’s Managing Director, joined a workshop on “Instructional Design”, held by Antje Manske at the Leibniz Institute for Psychology (@zpid.bsky.social).

Here were some of the key topics:
- ADDIE, a framework for instructional design that stands for these five phases: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation.
- Agile Instructional Design, an iterative and learner-centered approach to creating materials that emphasize collaboration and continuous feedback.
- Bloom’s taxonomy, a framework that classifies observable knowledge, skills, attitudes, behaviors, and abilities into categories of learning goals.

These skills and themes will be applied to an agile course on Research Data Management 📊.

Workshops like this help us continuously improve how we teach Open Science and empower researchers through better learning design.

If teaching online results in faculty burnout… we’re doing it wrong.

Online Faculty Burnout isn’t about the modality, it’s about design, infrastructure, and support.

When institutions invest in instructional design(ers) & frameworks like #OSCQR, online teaching becomes sustainable, not exhausting.

💬 What supports make online teaching sustainable where you work?

Thoughts about current #ELT #InstructionalDesign practices.

How far would you agree or disagree?

Will AI in the classroom mean students asking ChatGPT for help with algebra homework, or strapping on a headband that streams their brainwaves to teachers and parents? In China, teachers are already policing attention with the latter

Roguelite Games and Motivation in Online Learning

I recently fell in love with #Returnal, a video game from a genre I never knew about -- #roguelikes -- and I was surprised by the powerful effects it had on my #motivation and persistence through its high difficulty and frequent failure experiences. Here I analyze what lessons #roguelites have for #elearning #instructionaldesign pros who want to make #onlinelearning more compelling.

Using your own voice and face in e-learning is brave. Nothing says 'professional training' like a 720p webcam and the emotional energy of a Zoom goodbye wave. | #AI #edtech #instructionaldesign 🚀
