As I ease on down the yellow brick road of instructional design
and technology, I have selected a few resources to assist me on my
journey. The first is a comic strip blog,
the next is a professional learning strategy newsletter, and lastly, I signed up for a course development
software blog. The three sources provide
a foundation in my work as a comedic social
media influencer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amZ7KDWLkiU). An influencer is a personality that uses
social media to promote products or services rather than traditional advertising.
Similar to Larreamendy-Joerns, Leinhardt
findings referenced by Artino; “the increasing popularity of online learning
rather than classroom instruction.” (Artino, 2008, p. 37). Social influencers are the next big thing in
advertising.
To be an affective comedic
influencer, I must be funny so I enlisted some help from Andy Schmidt. Andy founded the Comic Experience (www.comicexperience.com/blog). He started the company in 2007 because there
was no good source for comic strip training.
After working for Marvel Comics for five
years, he went about developing classes
that he wishes had been available when he started in the industry. This website will be instrumental in
developing multi-media presentations with a comic book twist. As a social influencer, differentiation separates
the winners from losers.
When I wake up in the morning from my dreams of winning, I venture
out into the world, and see every stimulus as a learning opportunity; from
commercials, billboards, labels, phone calls, door knocks, and pieces of mail. To facilitate my engagement capability I
found a multimedia resource that focuses on the transfer of learning opportunities
in the workplace called the Chief Learning
Officer (www.clomedia.com ). The
publication provides a plethora of resources designed to facilitate learning which
is the key element in achieving my influence goals. It is
my intent to sift through the best practices and identify those that are
compatible with entertaining and enlightening social media viewers. This resource will allow me to stay current
in learning technology and trends.
The final missing element in my instructional design development was
a blog that allowed me to combine the learning transfer resources and the comic
strip training together into short learning modules. The blog published
by a company called Articulate provides learning software based on simplicity
in building great courses (www.blogs.articulate.com/rapid-elearning/). This blog will allow me access to e-learning software
options for social media video. I view social
influencing as an opportunity for my audience to learn and for me to provide
that learning quickly. The tools to help
me compete in the online environment come together on this blog.
