I quizzed Richard. "Isn’t this just another training course?"

"Nope, it’s way more than that!" He had a point as the lightbulb went off in my head. We were discussing the details of something new and exciting: Learning Journeys. 🧭

We're constantly pushing the boundaries of what's possible when it comes to community learning and career growth. Here's a preview: "Whereas learning paths and pathways are usually just ordered content, you can think of a [learning] journey as the same ordered content, but with narration [by two testing experts] in between each piece to explain why you are being asked to digest that content, and additional activities to cement the learning."

Read the entire Learning Journey announcement from Richard Bradshaw (CEO/BossBoss of Ministry of Testing) to find out how it might help you and your colleagues. How would you describe a Learning Journey? I'd love to hear from you, feel free to send me an email.

📄 Use Chrome whilst testing? Check out this new article by Kasturi Rajamanikkam: How To Level Up Your Chrome Browser Testing Skills. I do enjoy a handy browser extension and am pleased to see some I'm unfamiliar with. Never stop exploring those tools right? And if you'd like to go tool exploring there's always the handy tools directory. 🧰
