Leadership Bench Crisis. During the recent recession, there was limited investment in the development of younger, mid-level workers. This lack of focus on growing the leadership bench resulted in a serious skill gap in many workforces. As organizations begin to recognize their talent predicaments, many are developing strategic talent pipelines and are taking a second look at the value of mentoring programs, either formal (a structured process) or informal – letting mentors and mentees design the

I started my career back in July 2015 when I had no experience of developing elearning content, and had never heard of Adobe Captivate before. At first I was in a state of panic, as the word developer filled my stomach with dread, as I can’t code to save my life. But I wasn’t to worry. After learning on the job and also with the help of the internet e.g.

According to the website fortunelords.com, YouTube is the 3 rd most visited website in the world. Additionally, the total number of hours of video watched on YouTube each month is 3.25 billion. You may think using videos in eLearning is just another ploy to cater to millennials, with their short attention spans, but looking at age groups with the highest numbers on YouTube suggests that Generation X and the Baby Boomers are also drawn to video (25-34 – 23%, 35-44 – 26%, 45-54 –

During a meeting at Cambridge University around 30 years ago I was thoroughly chastised by a Cambridge academic. I’d used the phrase ‘learning delivery’ when describing computer-supported collaborative learning ( CSCL ) approaches. CSCL was one of the hot pedagogical approaches of the day – when network-based learning was in its relative infancy. “Charles, my dear fellow”, said the Cambridge man, “we may deliver milk, but learning is something that is acquired, never delivered”.

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.

Motivation has been and continues to be a widely-studied area across many of life’s domains. People are keen to know ways to move themselves or others into action. Motivation is important in many areas such as schools, workplaces, sporting teams and education just to name a few. What is motivation? Motivation is the energising force that initiates and sustains behaviour and is valuable because it produces results (Ryan and Deci, 2000).

However, if you are just looking to create a couple courses for fun then it’s a good avenue.

According to the Pew Research Group, Millennials are the largest generational cohort in the workforce, but many of us are still trying to understand their needs and expectations. In this post, we look at one of the most significant requirements of this generation: personalization. There have been many attempts to define “ personalized learning.” While previous generations might accept having a few choices or personalized recommendations, to Millennials this term has a much richer meaning.

If you were born after 1970, you might not even remember a day in your working life when the Learning Management System (LMS) did not exist. Early iterations of the LMS first started appearing in the 1970s to support a truly disruptive innovation that we now call “eLearning.” Since then, these two learning tools have grown up together, each evolving as the other pushed the envelope a bit further, creating an iterative path to innovation.

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.

A colleague recently asked (in general, not me specifically) whether there’s a role for LMS functions. Her query was about the value of having a place to see (recommended) courses, to track your development, etc. And that led me to ponder, and here’s my thinking: My question is where to draw the line. Should you do social learning in the LMS version of that, or have a separate system?

Quality assurance has had a slightly murky history. It’s a part of the production process that is often poorly defined, and has sometimes been seen as little more than a necessary but annoying hurdle to be rushed through before a course is released into the wild. At Kineo, we have always resisted this way of thinking and have embedded quality assurance throughout every stage of what we do.

The term “Experience Mapping” isn’t a new one – it’s been around for a long time in retail sales settings. For instance, brick-and-mortar retailers have for years focused on providing their customers the best “experience” possible during shopping, by focusing on aspects such as product availability, price competitiveness, a variety of selection, “airiness” and openness of their shop floors, cleanliness, etc.
