Personal Learning and Personalized Learning are two terms, which are being used interchangeably for some time now? Is this trend correct? Do both terms refer to the same type of learning? Or are they different? In this blog post, we look at them and see which strategy influences learning at the modern workplace. What is Personal Learning? When learning is offered by an instructor or is designed as a self-paced unit that helps the learner pick elements of the program and study at their own pace i

Time for a brief rant on interface designs. Here we’re talking about two different situations, one device, and and one interface. And, hopefully, we can extract some lessons, because these are just silly design decisions. First up is our timer. And it’s a good timer, and gets lots of use. Tea, rice, lots of things. And, sometimes, a few things at a time.

Videos are extremely popular in online courses, but how do you prevent people from stealing the content? This is a question we often get ask to our support so I thought I would take a minute to discuss videos and online video security. There are a number of great tools out there that you can use for locking-down your video access, but before jumping into those options I think it is important to note one thing: nothing is foolproof.

What do you call training that connects people remotely into a web session? Within L&D, and even within the same organization, the title for this kind of learning experience varies. Commonly, though, when instructors facilitate to two types of audiences simultaneously, you often hear the term “multi-method delivery.”. In today’s global, mobile, social workplace, training often supports dispersed learners, all of whom have individual learning goals and attendance requirements.

What if…after closer inspection…we had discovered a hammer was the wrong tool for the job…or maybe not the wrong tool…but certainly not the only tool? We never looked. Didn’t have the motivation to look. We were paradigm-blinded.
