There was an interesting piece about user testing in the Alertbox newsletter from NNG this week. I like to do a round of user testing on most learning-design projects, simultaneous with the second SME review.

Picture the scene: you’re jumping online to complete a quick training module. You sign in to your emails to double check which course your manager recommended.

Workforce Development Councils are taking shape, and the Construction and Infrastructure COVE is also underway. As an Associate to ConCOVE https://concove.ac.nz , we see the intended projects as pivotal to innovation in learning across the sector. […]
We are thrilled to have worked on the new WorkSafe/ACC gamified microlearning site ‘Pickled’, which went live on Friday!
