Richard E. Clark

I was able to schedule some time with Dick Clark the other day – to record – via Skype – a 2nd Video with him to discuss what he’s been up to in the world of EBP for HPT … that is – in Evidence Based Practices for Human Performance Technology.

We did our 1st video back in April of 2012 at the ISPI 50th Anniversary Conference where he was the Keynote Speaker. See that video – 45 minutes – here.

In this video we discuss some of the key points he brought up in that 2012 ISPI Keynote…

… plus we discuss a meeting he had a couple of years ago with Bill Gates, and the work that he’s continuing to do on CTA – Cognitive Task Analysis, plus work he’s doing with the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, plus Discovery Learning, Games/Gamification, Generational Differences, Learning via Social Media, the 70-20-10 Reference Model, Motivation in Learning, Learning Objectives, Advanced Organizers, Practice with Feedback, work his son is doing on Trans Cranial Direct Current Stimulation in the field of neuroscience … and we wrap all of that  up discussing Learning Out of Context via Libraries of Generic Content … along with a few words of wisdom to those entering the L&D/T&D field about EBP – Evidence Based Practice. Whew!  

This video is 1:25:51 in length. Please excuse the several points where the video and audio go a bit haywire – I guess it’s connection issues.

Dick mentions several publications on CTA – Cognitive Task Analysis – which can be found – here (on the Center for Cognitive Technology at the University of Southern California website) – as well as – here (on the HPT Treasures website).
