When designing and delivering content, we need to balance five elements of the learner experience: technology, design, people, place, and time. In order to achieve this balance, we need to focus on the learner experience. We need to define and leverage how learning is structured, including when it is taking place, where it is taking place, and how it is being delivered.

eLearning courses are effective only if they reach the learners. eLearning trainers put in maximum effort to create courses that resonate well with the learners. While the trainers take extreme caution in how the content is delivered, one important factor that needs to be considered is the language of the course delivery. Though English is considered the global language, learning in one’s native language helps the learners to understand better than in any other language.

There’s no point landing the perfect plane at the wrong airport. That’s an analogy someone shared with me several years ago to explain Design Thinking, and it has resonated with me ever since for two reasons. Firstly, it exposes the solution-first approach that pervades the corporate sector; and secondly, it challenges our obsession with perfection.

How to close more leads without making them feel pressured. If you’re new to selling online courses (or selling anything, really), you may not know what sales funnels or pipelines are, not to mention what the “buyer’s journey” is all about. Briefly put, when a person goes to make a purchase, they pass through various stages of a sales cycle—from discovery of a product, to assessing various options, to making a final decision.

Here's a radical idea: maybe we've been thinking too small when it comes to instructional design. Relying on proven principles while purposefully expanding the scope of our vision can help us accomplish organizational goals and empower learners to better navigate their modern workplaces.

He knew that I had designed games before returning to grad school, and had subsequently done one on my thesis research.

The industry is also quite “cut-throat” which makes it difficult for the bootstrapped offering to compete. Our learning management system is one of a select (very) few offerings that started without venture capital and has steadily grown organically through word of mouth and by offering a solid product with vision-oriented development.

Once your organization has made a decision to use Moodle as your chosen learning management system (LMS) , another big decision lies ahead. Do you host it yourself or rely on a Moodle hosting services partner to guide you? Many factors play into this decision. Keeping a large project like a Moodle implementation in-house can be overwhelming, time restrictive, and, believe it or not, can end up being more costly than outsourcing to a Moodle hosted provider.
