@frankiegriffin.studioI made something I genuinely LOVE! 🪐
Inspired by students. Built for curiosity. Made to be explored.
The Scale Lab is live! 🔭

@aptara.bsky.social#AptaraConnect Issue 28 is out! 📣
AI is changing how work gets done, and learning design needs to keep pace.
This issue looks at AI, workplace learning, changing skills, and more on preparing AI-ready workforce.

@onlinelearningconsortium.orgIn the latest #OLCInsights, read a firsthand story about how authentic faculty participation creates a feeling of ownership and belief in the finished product—and how that same principle can be applied to student work 🔗 bit.ly/InsightsShakeNBake
@armonia03.bsky.socialToday’s cosmic memo: CHECK THE CONTEXT. ⚡♒
Substack research, scholarly manuscript formatting, admin cleanup, storytelling practice + an AI/education discussion.
Cardio was 1 min slower after a week off. Data, not failure.
Aquarius brain: “Ask more questions.” 😂

@armonia03.bsky.socialLearners don’t enter courses as blank slates. 📚
Laura Schwartz’s Penn State IFSE workshop on civic dialogue reinforced what 22 years of Navy learning across generations taught me: context shapes learning.
My graduate work builds on that foundation.
@ou-ld-social.bsky.socialFresh up on the #OU_LD blog: Alice Gallagher, our new Interim Head of Learning Design, discusses the importance of collaboration in the field as well as how the role of #LearningDesign is evolving and what its future place in #HigherEd might look like.

@frankiegriffin.studioWhen polish becomes easy, humanity becomes the difference.
A childhood love of blob stickers became four characters and a game.
The human brought the why. Design shaped the experience. AI accelerated the how.

@schmidtpabst.bsky.socialApplied Lab and Quest Lab teach the same HITM method.
Applied: sober, direct, implementation-led.
Quest: playful, lower-fear, socially energizing.
Different choreography. Same standard of judgment.

@sael-as.bsky.socialWhat makes synchronous hybrid teaching work? A review of 17 German higher-ed studies points beyond tech: align teaching with learning goals, ensure equal participation, and design interaction deliberately.
@frankiegriffin.studioIt’s easy to design lessons around quick, confident answers.
Mila’s story asks how we make room for students who need a different way in, without the pressure to appear more confident than they feel.
@frankiegriffin.studioYes. No. Or… Not sure.
The Fact Files asks early learners to look closely, check the clues, and ask: Can you actually tell?
Sometimes the smart answer is, “I need more information.”
@center-plain.bsky.socialHow do you make plain language training something people actually want to do?

@frankiegriffin.studioWhen I used to teach, I loved how two students could look at the same thing and notice completely different details! That idea became What Did You Notice? Look once. Compare. Look again.

@frankiegriffin.studioStudents often have to figure out the design before they can get to the learning.
I created this carousel with practical visual design moves teachers and learning designers can use right away.
Small design choices can make a big difference.
@frankiegriffin.studioWhat if today’s ordinary became tomorrow’s artifact?
The Future Museum gets students looking closer, imagining differently, and turning everyday objects into stories about life today.
@frankiegriffin.studio“Wait… that’s not what I pictured.”
That moment is where Draw What Was Said gets interesting.
Same instruction. Different interpretations. Then students compare, notice what changed, and talk about how meaning shifts between people.
@segar.comTake the pressure off of yourself to facilitate or teach, and instead create situations that allow learning to occur.
