Taking business to the next level relies strongly on talent. “…While financial results, market share, brand and legacy products all have a half-shelf-life, talent is the only competency that endures.” -Ram Charan, noted author and advisor to companies around the world).

Disclaimer: This post is not about the “feedback funnel” that’s used in sales or customer relationship management. If you’re looking for that I’m afraid you’ve come to the wrong place. But you’re welcome to stay and see what I consider to be learning development’s “feedback funnel.”. Here’s a little secret. There are few things as frustrating to a learning and development (L&D) team as hearing, “We’ve got a global change” when a project is in final review.

The world of e-Learning is changing rapidly and fundamentally. An e-Learning revolution? I see a fundamental change with our customers in how (and by whom) e-Learning is created.

Few topics get people less excited than insurance. Some cringe in frustration. Others yawn with boredom. Yet we all know in our heart of hearts that insurance is a necessity. This is especially true if you have experienced a major “hometrastrophe,” been rear-ended or needed an expensive medical treatment. Many organizations think of their training as a form of insurance against things like poor employee performance, regulatory fines, and the risk of talented employees leaving their

Our brains are impressive computers, but they only have so much available memory, so every new piece of information we encounter is viewed through a relevance filter — the equivalent of our brain asking, “do I need to remember this” or “will this be on the test?” Thus, when we are exposed to new theories and concepts, our brains decide whether to retain what we just learned… or to overwrite it as soon as something more interesting comes along.

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.

If you’re purchasing a learning management system (LMS), you’ve probably established a budget. But knowing how much you can spend on a new LMS is only half of the equation. You also need to make sure you’re paying for the right features. There are over 300 LMS applications available, and each one has its own configuration of offerings. Let’s look at the considerations you should keep in mind when purchasing an LMS so that you only pay for the things you need.

Creating a course sounds easy at first, until you sit down to create it. It doesn’t take long to realize that a course takes a lot of persistence, patience, and time. If creating a course were easy then everyone would do it. The ones that see their course through to the end have something that the others don’t have. It’s not a specific skill or even expensive resource.

At its core, a common scenario isn’t that difficult to craft: tell a story, ask the learner what they want to do about it, and let them know how they did. To craft a meaningful scenario, however, there are four areas—four ‘Cs’ to be specific—that you need to strategically design. Choices. Consequences. Connections. Corrections. Are you maximizing all of them?

Blended learning provides a thoughtful solution to outdated, formal training. With blended learning , we can support learners when and where they need information – even when they’re between live learning events. In spite of its popularity though, blended learning isn’t descriptive enough to help us move towards more purposeful instructional design.

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.

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? Many instructional designers will say, “Boring in means boring out.

Part of creating a successful online course is communication with your learners. By incorporating various touch-points through a learner’s online course journey you are letting them know that they are not alone and that you care about their success. This also goes a long way in creating a sense of community – and in the lonely world of online learning this is always a welcomed change.

Whether it’s in the hallway of a university, hanging in a local coffee shop, or just on the wall of your family’s kitchen, cork boards are a tried-and-true method of displaying information in a conspicuous and accessible place. They’re public enough that everyone who needs to see it can, yet intimate enough so that those who aren’t implicitly affected by their announcements by being in the building aren’t.

In today's tight labor market, hiring and retaining top talent is more challenging than ever. Every day a job remains unfilled means lost productivity and revenue. 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.

Certainly you can use the Skin Editor to remove the playbar completely from a project. Alternatively, if you don't want the playbar to be available during a quiz, there are Quiz Preferences for that.

Companies are creating new structures that fit their needs and goals rather than falling back on traditional, hierarchical, bureaucratic, and command-and-control configurations. Like families, once dominated by a traditional, husband and wife and children structure and now outnumbered by non-traditional (one parent, extended, same sex parents, etc.) structures, companies are re-thinking how they do their work.
