In episode 38 of Surveying the L&D Landscape podcast, I sit down with Kevin Alster to analyze his role as the Head of Synthesia Academy at Synthesia.
During our conversation, we unpack:
How he became an expert for videos in L&D by seeing the opportunity to enhance learning experiences and raising his hand to learn on the job;
Why he advocates for applying a product mindset to learning interventions;
How he uses his FOCA framework to guide videos through four elements of the production process: Foundation, Organization, Content, and Action;
AND SO MUCH MORE!
