Are you happy? Don’t overthink your answer, don’t parse it into happiness in some parts of your life but not others, happy about certain things and not others. These mental gymnastics are clever ways to avoid the central question – are you happy ? It’s a simple but profound question about how you show up in the world. Your degree of happiness can have a significant effect on your health , ability to concentrate , productivity , even your love life.

An online learning environment can be challenging for many students — even those who have been successful in traditional learning environments. Unfamiliarity with online courses, confusion about the technologies, or being unaware of what self-directed learning entails can be huge barriers to student success in eLearning or compliance training.

In today’s $2.6 billion LMS market, every type of eLearning system you can imagine is available to consumers. This is both a good and a bad thing. While it’s wonderful to have a huge selection of online learning platforms, it’s also overwhelming.

Recently a number of great folks I know in the L&D field have indicated they are working on a book. Writing a book is a great experience. Writing helps me clarify thoughts, focus my ideas and explore content. The writing process connects concepts in my mind together in deep meaningful ways. For a variety of reasons, I think everyone should write a least one professional book.

I am always on the look out for interesting implementations of niche specific learning management systems. There are ones centered around language learning. Others designed to help you improve at chess. And even some designed to help you live a better life by helping to eliminate stress and find a little inner peace.

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.

If you’ve ever watched or read science fiction, you probably know about the “ butterfly effect.” The idea is that the gentle flapping of a butterfly’s wings can stir up a hurricane on the other side of the world. What you may not know is that the idea comes from actual science, specifically meteorology. Discovered by weather man Edward Lorenz , the butterfly effect helps explain why it is so hard to predict the weather, even with today’s marvelous technology.

A few posts ago, I wrote about how we might be rushing too fast into cognitive computing. Not that there’s anything wrong with augmenting us, but I was wondering if we’d be better off focusing on developing our non-cognitive systems first. And, of course, it occurred to me after a conversation that there might be another example of this ‘tech fix before smart fix’ problem: adaptive learning over good design.

The short story is that the initial approach being taken weren’t leveraging technology effectively. And it led me to wonder how many organizations are still doing things the old way. So the story was of a critical organizational change.
