Michael North | Digital Learning Manager, DuluxGroup
In this video, 360ed.tv chats with Michael North about the power of ‘edutainment’ in designing learning experiences that resonate with learners, and how he infuses edutainment principles in his work at DuluxGroup.
Michael introduces the concept of ‘edutainment’ in L&D as a way to produce enjoyable educational content that captures attention and keeps learners engaged along the learning journey. He contends that by delivering dynamic and even topical content that speaks to learners on a personal level, more impactful and sustained learning is likely to follow.
To ensure edutainment strategies are targeted and aligned to learning objectives, and to offset the risk of superficial learning, Michael also discusses the need for measurement and KPIs to gauge their success.
What are some practical ways to incorporate an edutainment strategy as part of your L&D efforts? Watch the video to learn more.

1James Bevelander | Specialist Design Lead, Deloitte
In this video, 360ed.tv chats with James Bevelander about visual design principles to support user-centric learning experiences. With a career spanning various creative design roles, James outlines his current focus at Deloitte on visual design and motion in learning design, and the opportunities and challenges he encounters in his work.
Advocating for early collaboration that brings all relevant stakeholders to the table to consider every angle of a learner-centric UX, James explains his philosophy for ensuring that visual design is seamless and actually facilitates the learning rather than detracting from it. By keeping stakeholders connected, he contends that teams are more likely to achieve buy-in, reduce the ‘scope creep’ and produce an end-product that meets the learning objectives.
How can visual design in L&D leverage collaboration in order to enhance the learner experience, align with learning objectives and gain stakeholder buy-in? Watch the video to learn more.
