Excerpt: “Burnout. Work-life balance. Workplace bullying. Overtime. These are all realities of the working world that are not nearly discussed enough. Entering the industry as a junior I did not know what was reasonable or not, and often got the short end of the stick because of it. This series of articles centres around practical lessons that I’ve learnt in my career as a designer, and will hopefully empower you to know when and how to stand up for yourself.”

Sometimes, it’s hard to fully realize what sets you apart - until someone else points it out. This week, during a debrief with one of our longstanding clients, I had one of those “lightbulb” moments.💡 They shared three key reasons why they continue working with Artha Learning Inc: 1️⃣ Relentless focus on learner-centric solutions. 2️⃣ Our high-touch, low-stress approach to project management. 3️⃣ Uncompromising quality in every output we produce. Hearing this feedback reinforced our mission to always put learners first, deliver projects with care, and maintain the highest standards in everything we do. 🎇 If these values resonate with you, let’s chat! We’d love to help your team elevate learning experiences. #EurekaMoment #ClientFeedback #LearnerFirst #ProjectManagement #QualityMatters

Many parents expect their children to open up right after school, eager to share the details of their day. But for some children, that’s not the case. After a full day of cognitive stimulation, they may need time to unwind and process before they’re ready to talk. That’s where “closet listening” comes in. It’s about being present without being intrusive—finding moments to be near without forcing conversation. Whether it’s quietly doing chores or sitting nearby with a book, the idea is to create a space where children feel comfortable talking when they’re ready, without any pressure. Children often open up on their own terms, usually when they feel relaxed and safe—sometimes at the end of the day when the world feels a little quieter. As parents, it’s important to recognize this and understand that meaningful conversations can happen when we least expect them. By practicing patience and being available, we can foster a more open and trusting relationship with our kids. #ClosetListening #ConsciousParenting

❤️Grateful to both Sheri Byrne-Haber (disabled) and Meryl. Evans, CPACC (deaf) for teaching about the importance for accurate closed captioning with multi-media (which means reviewing ai generated). Our university uses a video platform 📺that includes an automated cc option (ai). Just as you review an email, paper or audio file before hitting send, also develop a habit to review the captioning! When creating or using multi-media, if you at any point are unable to create or review the captions, let your colleagues/supervisor/network know of your need for support. Your learners/audiences will benefit by these efforts of equitable access for all! 👏🏽

When we discuss the future of learning, we need to discuss the future of accessibility. Why? Accessibility is less a static category than a fluid, mutable constellation of conditions varying over time. Within its scope are included sensory and cognitive impairments, mental and medical diagnoses, mobility challenges, age differences, and linguistic barriers. Sooner or later, we’re all likely to experience inaccessibility. To take a simple example, even if we — or those close enough to us by familial, work, or community relationships — aren’t among the one and six worldwide who navigate life with a diagnosable disability today, it doesn’t mean we won’t tomorrow. By the time we reach 75, the probability of being disabled means more than half of us will live with impairment. And that’s not even counting other conditions, or the situational, episodic, and temporary experiences of learning inaccessibility. So, accessibility impacts all of us, sooner or later. More importantly, though, accessibility is for everyone, not just for marginal demographics of users who require accommodations. That’s why making learning accessible to all benefits everyone – it is neither a condition of exception nor a marginal civil rights issue, but a superior framework for optimizing learning design. Technologies like AI, VR, and big data offer incredible promise for optimizing learning for accessibility – but only if we make it so. Nothing intrinsic to these technologies of the future makes progress on learning accessibility inevitable. As historian of technology, Melvin Kranzberg, Jr., wryly observed, “Technology is neither good, nor bad, nor is it neutral.” So whatever we believe about the future of learning, one article remains incontestably true: it must be accessible. And like the future of learning, the future of accessibility remains unwritten. Neither social trends nor technological developments will determine the shape it takes. We will – by our values, by our commitments to accessibility, by our investment of resources.

When facing challenges, having a structured approach can make a big difference. Consider using a simple framework like SWOT analysis to assess and enhance the situation: - Strengths: Identify what's going well. - Weaknesses: Pinpoint areas that need improvement. - Opportunities: Explore ways to enhance and grow. - Threats: Recognize external factors that may pose challenges. #ProblemSolving #SWOTAnalysis

Bringing about change requires a hard look at all aspects of your company's culture. Who we are as leaders has enormous impact on how others feel about being involved in our presence. Don't be the reason someone has the "Sunday Scaries"-- I created Zen Mother Holistic Solutions as a launching place for my creative learning solutions providing thoughtful and systematic processes that aim to create engaging and effective learning experiences. I consider the learners' needs, set clear goals, and use various methods and technologies to achieve desired outcomes. By incorporating principles of universal design and accessibility, I strive to create inclusive trauma-informed learning environments for all. Think about the employee with adversity at home and how that may impact their performance. Work should be a place where people feel motivated and inspired intrinsically; but often it's 'just a job". I know it is hard to engage and train effectively-- I spent the last 20+ years teaching middle thru high school students in a 1:1 fully integrated edtech environment. It is very hard to pull people away from their screens...but human engagement and high expectations in regards to character can be demonstrated and expected! It is more imperative than ever, like the graphic below displays-- that our behavior as leaders be reflective of how we want our stakeholders to FEEL about being a part of our organization. All of these 'nice to have' character traits are CRUCIAL. How might a holistic needs assessment benefit your organization? Working with an instructional designer, like myself, may make a world of difference in terms of workplace wellness. Maybe it's a style of meeting that you need to create, or perhaps, you are looking for an incentive game based solution-- Feel free to reach out!

While storyboarding was initially developed and refined in the film industry, its utility in organizing and visualizing complex sequences made it a valuable tool in e-learning as well. Watch the video to discover the three key reasons why this powerful technique has become essential for creating engaging and effective learning experiences. #eLearning #Storyboarding #InstructionalDesign #DigitalLearning #LearningAndDevelopment
