What’s the most powerful learning moment you’ve ever had… that didn’t come from a classroom?

This week on Fabulous Learning Nerds, we dive into the surprising moments where real learning happens—when you’re not expecting it. From minute-and-a-half tutorials to epic Dungeons & Dragons sessions, Scott, Dan, Zeta, and Sam explore how unconventional experiences can spark powerful insights—and how we can harness that magic in the way we design learning today.

🔥 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS:

  • 🎮 The best learning doesn’t always look like learning. Great instructional design often mirrors what games and pop culture do so well—immersive, intuitive, and fun.


  • 🍱 Too much content kills curiosity. Bite-sized, well-chunked learning beats information overload every time.


  • 🧠 People learn better when they help build the experience. Co-creation increases engagement, ownership, and stickiness—whether it’s a training session or a dungeon map.


🎧 Tap in to discover how everyday moments can transform your learning strategy—and how a little unexpected inspiration can go a long way.
