The term “learning ecosystem” is a trendy one in learning and development circles. It’s an important idea; understanding it helps organizations and their leaders think strategically about their learning and training—and helps them achieve the goals they set for themselves. To wrap our brains around this idea with a minimum of jargon and hand-waving, let’s start at the beginning: What is a learning ecosystem, exactly?

When should you use a branching scenario rather than other learning strategies? There are no “silver bullets” in learning; we don’t have “one way to rule them all” that works in every single situation. While I’m a big proponent of branching scenarios, they aren’t always the best method. Criteria for Considering Branching Scenarios.

Faster than ever, the world is shifting and shaping how people work, exposing and creating deep skill divides across industries and around the world. As a result, business and HR leaders are scrambling to “upskill” employees. If you’re scrambling to upskill your employees but don’t know where to start, make skills analysis a routine part of your decision-making process.

Your course is built, but is it ready to be launched? No! Don’t forget this important step! The biggest mistake that I see people make when they create their online course is that they don’t have any user testing before they launch it. What usually happens is that they go through the course themselves a few times and then when they are happy with the workflow they press “publish” This is a bad idea.

Flexibility is a growing employee expectation. But this doesn’t just mean better schedules and work/life balance. Employees are increasingly looking to take control of their entire working experience which, for many people, means employment is not a full-time, long-term proposition. At the same time, organizations are shifting their staffing models to become more agile and responsive to changes in demand.

One of the questions I’m asked more often than any other is, “ How do you get into eLearning? ” And the truth is, there’s no easy answer to this question. That’s because most people fell into eLearning entirely by accident! For example, I was working in retail loss prevention, catching shoplifters, before I fell into eLearning.
