Would you notice if the sun didn’t come up tomorrow? Of course you would, because the sun comes up every day. You’re used to it. If it didn’t come up that would be breaking the pattern you’ve become accustomed to. There needs to be a pattern in order for a pattern to be broken and when a pattern is broken people take notice. This can be a real double edged sword, particularly in eLearning.

As elearning creators we understand the benefits of creating elearning for the learners of an organisation, business or even the public and I’ve noticed it can be easy for us to stop learning ourselves. Lately at work I’ve been going out of my comfort zone as a developer, by exploring more of what Captivate can really do. We still use version 8 at work right now and even after 2 years of using it every day, I’ve realised I have so much to learn still.

“Learning is what most adults will do for a living in the 21st century.”. Although he died in 1979, the author of that quote, New Yorker contributor S.J. Perelman, foresaw decades ago today’s professional development landscape. Earlier this year, The Economist reaffirmed his message: “ Lifelong learning is becoming an economic imperative.”. Your members would agree that lifelong learning is critical for advancing in their careers and remaining employable.

One of the great things about using WordPress for your LMS is how easy it is to add custom functionality using add-ons. If you have custom needs for your LearnDash powered learning program, then chances are there is “an app for that” Okay, maybe not an “app” – but a plugin!

One thing that frustrates me about rapid authoring software like Articulate Storyline or Adobe Captivate is that it encourages learning designers to build huge courses with complex menu structures. Then the course is exported into a single folder, without too much thought about how that is going to behave once it's hosted on the learning management system (LMS).

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.

A month or so ago, Articulate quietly released a new version of their beloved Storyline Product—Storyline 3. This came about just a few months after the much-heralded release of Articulate 360, which includes Storyline 360. Given the functional similarities between Storyline 360 and Storyline 3, many have been left wondering which they should choose.

The Association for Talent Development (ATD) International Conference and Exposition is the biggest show of the year in the L&D industry. 10,000+ attendees. 300+ sessions. There’s pretty much something for everyone at the annual conference. The Axonify team had an awesome time at ATD 2017 earlier this week in Atlanta. We facilitated three sessions, met plenty of forward-thinking L&D professionals and shared our perspective on how to modernize workplace 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.

We’ve all been there. You’ve been given a pile of dry content and asked to create a compelling eLearning course.

Most businesses fall into one of two categories: products or services. There are also those that do both, but this is very hard to pull off unless the infrastructure is in place and you have a really good understanding of your customer needs. The problem I often see with new entrepreneurs is that they try to be everything to everyone from the get-go.

Are you moving towards blended learning with your modern instructional designs? Microlearning provides a viable approach for many training content pieces and learner support resources. On the surface, microlearning may not sound like a universally accessible option. “My topic’s too complicated to teach in five minutes!” you lament. And you’d be right – using microlearning effectively doesn’t equate to compressing a three-day, hands-on training program into one five-minute explainer video.

The call-to-action for L&D is to have staff capable of operating comfortably and effectively in the domain of the Point-of-Work exclusive of being a SMEOEDT…SME of Every Damn Thing. This mission… should you choose to accept it…is to seek out individuals possessing the expertise of a performance consultant. Find one or develop one. Methinks having one in the mix is no longer an option if the L&D function has a prayer of breaking free of the limiting blinders of the traditional Training Pa

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.

I’m a fan of the power of social learning. When people get together (and the process is managed right), the outcomes of a negotiated understanding can be powerful. However, in designing learning, working in groups has some real negative perceptions and realities. The open question is: what to do? The problems are well-known. As my kids complained, on group projects some team members will reliably slack, letting the most driven student do the work.

In the event your brain immediately visualized training courses or learning events residing on your LMS…we have a potential disconnect here because “Training” in any form represents only the 10% in the 70:20:10 framework, and to make that even uglier, the 10% falls into the +/-5% of our 2,000 hour work year that Bersin’s research says we get each year in the form of formal learning.

This weekend we celebrate Memorial Day in the U.S. Originally, this was a rather somber holiday, created to honor the dead on both sides during our horrific civil war. As we continued to collect more wars in our history, the holiday expanded to cover all of our fallen heroes. Being a day in early Spring in many parts of our country, the day was originally marked by decorating the graves of loved ones who had died in battles or served in the military.
