Lean L&D: Smarter Tools, Bigger Impact

L&D leaders, current and aspiring: This panel discussion is for you. In a lean 30 minutes, learning leaders Dr. André Martin, Karl Kapp, and Laurel Schulert share advice on building more efficient teams and getting the most bang for your buck from the tools you use every day. Watch on demand.

Customer Feature: Linda Winn

Linda Winn is one of the eLearning designers behind Shelter Insurance’s blockbuster training hits like Crash of the Titan, helping employees thwart phishing attempts. Her path to L&D was a winding one, with experiences along the way that all centered on helping others gain confidence with technology. 

At art school she studied the technical side of printing, after which she held roles as an art director, a design technology instructor at a career center, and then a manager of document services at Shelter Insurance before moving into her current eLearning role. “Moving from printed design to the video world was a no-brainer,” Linda says.

Early into Linda’s eLearning role, a training leader asked for an animated video — a new medium for their team. Enter Vyond. “I jumped at the opportunity to learn something new and share what I learned with the team,” Linda says. Now, she not only creates her own successful training courses in Vyond, she’s also been sharing her Vyond know-how to help teammates in other departments (like internal communications and information security) communicate better.

Catch Linda live on our next Community Office Hours: she and her internal comms teammate, Brad, will be there for a “show and tell” about one of their recent Vyond collabs. Sign up now!

“I love that, unlike other tools, everything in Vyond is useful — features we can use to draw learners in. I don’t need 14 million ways to do one thing. Just give me the best way!” - Linda Winn, eLearning Designer, Shelter Insurance
