You know that feeling you get when something is hyped as “the ultimate solution”? If you’re like me your reaction is probably along the lines of, “That’s too good to be true. Therefore, it probably isn’t true.” Back in the day, household radio sets were going to be the big breakthrough for learning. There would be educational programs for the whole family, language learning from native speakers, etc.

We, as educators in the Adult Learning world, have a responsibility to help our organizations move forward and we are not doing enough to practice this craft. The trend seems to be that we are aware video is important and critical, and we even admit that our end-users would probably prefer video to some of other learning methods used.

How do you embrace this approach when faced with a limited budget, and a changing job market? Guest blogger Jenny Holt explores how training courses provide a potential solution. In the traditional model of education and training, students learn from professors by physically attending classes at specified times.

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.

Creating an online course is more than just delivering content. If you are smart, you will build a community ! As you grow your customer-base it often makes sense to allow learners to interact with one another. This isn’t applicable to all course content but surprisingly it does apply to a variety of niches. In general we people prefer social opportunities which is probably why social networking platforms are so popular.

PowerPoint is known and primarily used for presentations both big and small (like middle school small) because of how easy it is to learn the basics and create awesome content fast. The simplicity, and sometimes surprising depth, of PowerPoint makes it an amazing platform. When developers create websites or when Instructional Designers develop online content, the first two steps are almost always: Brainstorm and then Storyboard.

Let’s face it: distraction often feels like the norm for many of us. Your learners are likely no different: they have a long list of things to get done each day… and the training you want them to take may not be a top priority.

Complaints about Millennials in the workplace remind me of that adage attributed to Charles Dudley Warner, “Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.”. Likewise, many senior managers are quick to share their gripes about their younger co-workers. But too few stop and ask, “so what are we doing about it?”. I personally empathize with Millennial workers.

As a learning designer, when you're sending that early mock-up or first draft, be honest with yourself: is what you're actually looking for sign-off rather than collaboration? Perhaps up to that point, you've already put a good chunk of work in and it might even mess your schedules up if the other person asks you to rip it up and start again. Collaboration requires an open mind and a step into the unpredictable, but the results can be content that’s higher quality and more innovative.
