by Jolene Rowan. Education experts have said for years the important role performance support plays in building competency. It tackles head-on two fundamental challenges of learning: the limits of human memory and learner motivation. Despite the vast evidence, most organizations have made little progress implementing performance support solutions. Often, companies are not sure what performance support is or where to begin.

A good project manager needs to know that they are communicating well with their team - that he/she is hearing them and being heard. It is said that “the greatest enemy of communication is the illusion of it.” For a project manager, effective dialogue with team members is one of the most important skills to possess. Each person has a unique life perspective and an equally unique way of communicating.

There are plenty of great authoring tools for developing eLearning, but the one you select could directly impact your course's outcomes.

By Michael Allen , Chairman & CEO, Allen Interactions. eLearning can’t do everything. It can’t detect frustration by observing facial expressions and body language (yet). It doesn’t know if a learner is just throwing out any answer to see what feedback happens or if a learner is sincerely thinking the answer is correct. Today, elearning is pretty much blind to many of the cues a personal mentor or instructor would note and use to guide a learner.

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.

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.

This month is a great opportunity to remember the teachers in your life and celebrate their passion, their patience and their commitment to your personal journey. I’ve always hated the saying, “Those who can, do; those who can’t teach.” It was first used as a line George Bernard Shaw’s play, Man and Superman and it has done all of us in the learning profession a great disservice for decades since.

Watching videos can bring out emotions in us. This can be because of what is said, what the characters are doing, what is being learned, and many other reasons. What I am going to talk about today, is what emotions can be pulled from framing. Mostly anger. Bad framing brings out anger, frustration, and discomfort. Cinematographers use this knowledge of video framing to make the audience feel things based solely on the framing.

I hadn’t heard that term so I explored, and liked what I found. Thought I’d share it. So, ‘ critical friend ‘ is a term that originated in the education sector.

Boring soft skills training doesn’t just put employees to sleep. It lowers employee perception of your organization – your internal brand. That’s why the most effective soft skills training typically doesn’t just fly off someone else’s shelf. Savvy organizations take time to customize soft skills training so that it not only addresses their desired learning objectives, but does it with highly targeted, interactive courses that look and feel professional, and make good use of employee time.

I recently came across a document (PDF) about disruptive innovation based upon Clayton Christensen’s models, which I’d heard about but hadn’t really penetrated. This one was presented around higher education innovation (a topic I’ve some familiarity with ;), so it provided a good basis for me to explore the story. It had some interesting features that are worth portraying, and then some implications for my thoughts on innovation, so I thought I’d share.
