Group projects help prepare learners for the real work environments, but they’re hard to organize. Learners and employers alike share a significant concern with regard to many education programs: their lack of training for real-life work scenarios. Many learners sign up for online education to build their professional expertise in a field and gain marketable skills.

Measuring the impact of gamification or game-based learning can seem challenging. How do we know if our learners are more engaged? How do we know if gamification motivated our team to learn more? How do we know if the game-based eLearning we created will affect productivity? Before we can answer those questions, we need to look back at the alignment of our gamification and game-based learning strategies with our original learning objectives.

One of the most important aspects of any website is their search engine optimization (SEO) strategy. This is often a multi-faceted process combining tools, procedures, best practices, and consistency. However, there is one problem with the SEO industry and that is lack of reliable information. It won’t take you long to come across dated information.

If you’re wondering if there is still a place for all-girls’ education today, listen to my interview with Executive Director Megan Murphy who has led the National Coalition of Girls’ Schools ( NCGS ). One of the most compelling reasons to offer a girls-only education at the K-12 and beyond levels is to encourage girls to continue their interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM), which tend to drop off as girls reach their pre-teens in co-ed environments.

There are plenty of great authoring tools for developing eLearning, but the one you select could directly impact your course's outcomes. Depending upon your learners’ needs and your organization’s performance goals, you could be overlooking considerations that impact the both effectiveness of your courses and how long it takes to finish them. From general capabilities to specific workflow structures, some aspects are critical when it comes to learning objectives and deadlines.

Make sure you are reinforcing the key concepts at multiple points in the course to maximize learning retention. Many of us have taken an online course at some point. Do you remember the content from that course? Perhaps you do for some but certainly not all of them. While there could be a variety of reasons why this is the case, likely part of the blame lies in the course itself.

The term blended learning has come in and out of vogue in corporate training for the last several decades. For so long, in fact, it feels like an old-fashioned term. A term that is not modern enough for the current learning landscape. The reality is, modern learning strategies, techniques, and technologies seem to be custom designed for blended learning approach.

We’ve all been there. You’ve been given a pile of dry content and asked to create a compelling eLearning course. You’re determined to create something more engaging than the same old course that learners quickly click through, but how do you take this “boring” content and create something relevant and engaging?

How can learners collaborate more effectively online? It’s one thing to ask your learners to work together on a group project. But logistics for many online learners are quite another matter. Unlike in a classroom situation, learners have no set time when they expect to all be in the same room together to coordinate. In fact, it is unlikely any of them will ever meet in person.
