Acronyms are great for old-timers. They’re faster to say and easier to write. But for the uninitiated, they appear like just a pile of letters. In your first week of working in the eLearning industry, you’re likely to look at your colleagues blank-faced as they throw out sentences that sound like noises only a dog would understand. “It’s not SCORM compliant and the LRS won’t link to the LMS so how do we show the new JIT training to the CLO?”.

Some online education myths won’t disappear. Here’s what you need to know. When online learning was first proposed as a viable alternative to in-class learning, many people were skeptical. And, at the time, their suspicions were well-founded.

In the past couple of days, I’ve come across two different initiatives to improve education. And certainly our education system can stand improvement. However, each one had the same major flaw, and leaves open an opportunity for improvement not to occur. Over a number of engagements I’ve developed the basis of what I think is a necessary foundation for a viable education platform.

You want to increase sales on your online course, but something’s holding your learners back. We’ve all had a moment when presenting a proposal to someone where we realize they’re less enthusiastic about the idea than we’d like them to be. Maybe we’ve experienced this with a friend, a co-worker, a significant other, or an employer, but that moment of “yes, but…” can be both terrifying and discouraging.

Before starting development on a new eLearning project, it’s important to make sure you’ve collected and analyzed all the information used to justify the creation of an eLearning course in the first place. One of the ways you do this is by conducting an eLearning needs analysis to determine the root cause behind the gap in performance and whether or not eLearning (or any learning intervention) is the right solution.

Reinforcement, the process of strengthening a behaviour, is a crucial guiding concept for your learning management system (LMS) content. You can't expect your audience to change the way they do things on a daily basis if you simply present information to them. You need to adopt an approach that addresses the four reinforcement gaps and that follows a three-step framework to improve learner engagement rates.
