Using Frameworks to Empower SMEs to Develop Their Own Learning Programs

Barry Nadler

  • Interview Discussion
    • Similar to a podcast.
    • Either the SME gets interviewed by someone and it gets recorded or they record themselves talking about some content.
    • Should be more conversational than scripted.
    • Can include PP slides or screen sharing.
    • SME gets prepped before the conversation, so they don’t come in cold and unprepared.
    • These videos can later be part of a formal training program.
  • Snack-N-Share (SNS)
    • Short sharing session – sometimes called a Lunch-N-Learn — typically about 30-45 minutes.
    • A SME presenting content to a group of people, either in a conference room or on a virtual platform, like Zoom or MS Teams.
    • Probably only covering 1-2 topics and not going very deep on them.
    • Should include time for Q&A.
    • Can be recorded for future re-use.
  • Boot Camp
    • One day, live, intensive training session.
    • Hosted by a SME or facilitated by someone that manages discussions with SMEs.
    • Usually, 1-2 topics, but allows time for deep conversation on those topics. These topics are best if they are heavily skills-based.
    • Usually, there are activities for the participants that allow for practice of a skill.
    • A recording of this event would not be valuable to a viewer. It would most likely be very boring. But, there may be elements of the content presentation or Q&A that is worth re-using in smaller snippets after the event.
  • Cohort Program
    • Synchronous training experience.
    • Can be in-person or in a virtual environment.
    • Held over multiple sessions and can go as long as needed for the content.
    • Typically hosted by a facilitator and they invite SMEs or guest speakers into the conversation — the facilitator may not be that familiar with the content.
    • Live sessions are not for content presentation. They are for Q&A, thought-provoking discussion, and project sharing.
    • Present content between live sessions in an on-demand manner.
    • Assign either a single project that grows over the length of the program or smaller projects that build skills.
    • Should have a community that is part of the program, so students can teach each other.
  • Masterclass
    • Think of it as a long webinar (2-3 hours)
    • Usually covers 2-3 topics at a deeper level, which is different than a shorter webinar.
    • Can be recorded and edited for later re-use.
    • Could include breakout rooms for discussion groups, but typically doesn’t include project work during the event.
    • Because of the length, it could benefit by the facilitator including guest speakers.
    • Probably includes screen sharing or PP decks.
  • Mentorship
    • This equates to on-the-job-training with a more senior employee.
    • For the purposes of this project, this is similar to employee coaching.
    • Most likely, this is a one-on-one experience.
    • Probably includes work projects and skill observations.
    • The mentor does not need to be a skilled presenter or facilitator.
    • You would not record these mentorship sessions for later reuse, unless there was a solid reason to do so.
  • Virtual Summit
    • Can run between 1-3 days long.
    • 5-7 pre-recorded sessions per day.
    • Each day focuses on a family of topics that work together to create a single “story” with multiple perspectives.
    • You can drip the content on a daily basis and remove the previous day’s content, or allow content to remain available after the day is over. Your chosen approach can impact engagement you receive.
    • After the event, these recordings can be valuable as re-usable content in other programs, like bootcamps and cohorts.
    • You can use content from interview Discussions, Shack-N-Shares, and Masterclasses as content for this type of program.
    • Offer a bonus live session at the end to allow for Q&A with some of the SMEs.
