With e-learning becoming pretty much the norm these days, when a new learning intervention is necessary, designers most often take a look at the material they already have and build on that. It is one of the best features that online learning presents – the possibility to adjust, add and modify according to need.

The other day I was at Costco about to buy something. But before I made the purchase, I got online to do some research… right there in the store. I learned enough to make an informed decision. In fact, I was so “informed” that I was able to provide some assistance to another shopper. Despite all of that, I’m no expert on the product, but I am expert enough to meet my own needs.

Adaptive learning is possible. Today. Right now. In your organization. I recently read an article that bemoaned the challenge of implementing an adaptive learning strategy within an organization. The author stated it is extremely difficult to execute an adaptive learning program that has true value to the employee. I couldn’t disagree more. For the past 6 years, I’ve been talking about adaptive learning.

How to measure, understand, and continuously optimize the business impact of learning. Here’s the startling truth: Business leaders spend $140B globally on training each year, but they have no idea whether or not training is moving the needle on any business initiative. Ridiculous? Yes! There’s no way in heck this lack of accountability would fly in any other functional area of the organization, so why does this happen in corporate training?

Sometimes, everything in your marketing seems to align: you’re attracting a lot of visitors to your site, people seem interested in your course, but you can’t seem to land a sale. Or maybe you just have a lot of buyers on the fence: they’re 90% of the way toward making a purchase, their fingers are hovering over the “purchase” button, but something keeps holding them back.

LMS Market Trends revealed 48% of organizations desire a "new or different learning technology" and nearly half (47%) are at least seeking to "revise their current learning strategy". Why does dissatisfaction exist? Why revise learning strategy? Given the report was focused on LMS I wondered if “learning technology” was code for LMS and performance support technology would remain separate and apart from learning strategy.

by Jennie Ruby, COTP. People like to hear themselves talk. I don’t mean that in a bad way. What I mean is, people like to express themselves and feel heard. Feeling heard helps us feel connected to the others we encounter, the people we interact with, and—here’s my point—the people we learn with. Feeling connected with the instructor/facilitator and the other students/participants plays a huge role in our engagement with an online class.
