Once upon a time, we subjected you to “the worst eLearning course ever.” That monstrosity was an evil chimera of Digitec’s combined worst nightmares and most obnoxious memories. This time you’re in for something a little narrower. My personal eLearning pet peeves. Let’s take a look at the top offenders. In no particular order: Locked Navigation. Example : You can’t select the next button until the narration is finished.

The Greek philosopher and mathematician, Pythagoras, discovered the relationship between the length of a string on an instrument and the pitch that the string produces. He believed that this correlation was part of a harmonic relationship that connects everything in the universe, which he called The Music of the Spheres. While he didn’t have the benefit of today’s brain imaging technology, he just may have been right.

It appears that, too often, people are building courses when they don’t need to (or, more importantly, shouldn’t ). I realize that there are pressures to make a course when one is requested, including expectations and familiarity, but really, you should be doing some initial thinking about what makes sense. So here’s a rough guide about the thinking you should do before you course.

The online course creation industry is a large one with players of all sizes. For many the decision is between using a hosted platform or one on WordPress. The program you use to create (and sell) online courses is a matter of personal taste. When discussing LearnDash with potential customers I always make a point to explain the pros and cons of using WordPress as a learning management system.

Our profession is undergoing a transformation, moving away from rigid, one-size-fits-all methodologies. Instead, project managers are embracing dynamic and adaptable frameworks that carefully consider project and product variables to determine the most suitable development approaches and project life cycles.

There are plenty of trending topics in the L&D (learning and development) world right now, but microlearning is by far the dominant conversation in the space. Do you want to fill your next conference session? Just put “microlearning” in the title. In fact, the three most popular articles on my LearnGeek Blog are about microlearning.

I bet someone read the same book to you over and over again at bedtime when you were young. You loved that story. You knew it by heart. You could see it in your head without the pictures. Sometimes, you put yourself in the place of the main character. You might even have learned something that continues to influence your life to this day. I bet you still remember that story, so many years later.

Whether you are selling your courses or not it is important to let your learner’s know about your other offerings. One of the best times to up-sell or cross-promote your courses is right after someone completes a course, yet surprisingly so many people are not capitalizing on this timing. Instead, they let their learners complete the course and then figure out what to do next on their own.

We have no shortage of targets at which we can fire our L&D solution arrows. Too often just hitting the target with training is viewed as sufficient. I participated in that approach for many years before being exposed to the discipline of performance consulting. That new lens changed everything. The objective morphed from just hitting the target to hitting the right target…with the right arrow…at the right time…with the right amount of force…and for the right reasons.

Faster than ever, the world is shifting and shaping how people work, exposing and creating deep skill divides across industries and around the world. As a result, business and HR leaders are scrambling to “upskill” employees. If you’re scrambling to upskill your employees but don’t know where to start, make skills analysis a routine part of your decision-making process.

In January we had a lot of fun facilitating our knowmad MOOC. 600 people participated and we had quite intense exchanges. We received many compliments for the way we facilitated it: personal and quick responses. A social MOOC requires a good design of the learning activities, design of the platform and spacing of activities. I think there were many details in our MOOC that made it a success.

Training Magazine Network Session Recap. Instructional designers, facilitators, and learners have a huge number of instructional techniques and strategies available to them. For example, the traditional face-to-face classroom no longer serves as the go-to learning environment for effective training. Thanks to technology, the virtual classroom provides a viable option for effective, impactful learning.

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.

As many of you know, I have chronic migraines. Science shows that they aren't headaches. Rather, they're a neurological condition and extreme pain is one (of many) possible symptoms. But most treatments mainly deal with preventing or stopping the debilitating pain. Is that good or bad? Angela Stanton, PhD, is a science researcher and writer. Her insights about what migraines are, what causes them, and what's needed to live with them are radically different than what we are hearing from most evid

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?

But vacancies can affect much more than your revenue. There are multiple direct and indirect costs, and it's crucial to adapt your recruiting strategies to prioritize the most costly open roles.
