So how do we turn content into a fully functioning eLearning module to support our performance gap and/or learning objectives? Firstly before you even consider commencing this part of eLearning development, make sure you have your definition locked down. In the definition phase we really want to identify the correct performance issue, the intended audience, […].

How do you spell elearning? Or should I say e-learning with a hyphen? And how do you capitalize it? ELearning? Elearning? eLearning? E-Learning? E-learning? e-Learning? Before I wrote this, I had preferred to use “elearning” without a hyphen, and “eLearning” for capitalization. But then I would find myself waffling back and forth, unsure if I was making the right decision.

The Learning industry is talking a lot about HTML5 these days. Its compatibility with multiple devices, augmenting mobile learning, has made it the hot favorite of L&D circles. However, HTML5 has cons along with its much talked about pros. As learning experts, we can use even the cons of HTML5 to benefit e-learning. A short detour to look at the positives first.

In a recent webinar and white paper, Donald Taylor, Chairman of the Learning and Performance Institute , challenged learning and development (L&D) professionals to rethink how they approached corporate training. In fact, he notes that L&D may be spending time on things that have a negligible or even negative impact on helping individuals improve their performance at their current or future work. .

A week at the CSUN Assistive Technology conference in San Diego leaves the mind reeling. So much new information! So much of it related to learning! A few presentations made this connection explicit, directly correlating learning and accessibility. What I’d really like to talk about though, is the way that accessibility, the process and principle of making content available to those with disabilities, relates to elearning.

Have you ever tried to get someone interested in what you were saying or doing, only to have that person zone out on you? Of course you have. Being unsuccessful at engaging others is part of the human experience. In day-to-day life situations in which we are simply sharing with others things of interest to us, this is harmless enough. However, in corporate training situations, it’s a different story.

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.

John Moravec was the first to coin the term knowmad in the book Knowmad society. In this Tedtalk John poses an interesting statement about the 'rise of the knowmad'. " In 2020 45% of the workforce will be knowmads ". Eh 2020? That's already in 3 years time! Hurry up? On what basis is this 45% calculated? Who are these other 55%? And what type of organization is attractive for knowmads?

Selecting a learning management system isn’t always the easiest process, but even when the L&D team has settled on the best platform for the job, that’s not the end of the battle. In most businesses, it will be necessary to demonstrate why your chosen LMS is the right one for your organisation’s needs, so you will need to build a business case to persuade your stakeholders.

Can you write a good multiple choice question? After all, this is a foundational skill for a modern L&D pro, especially in large organizations that use a lot of online content. Unfortunately, it sounds a lot easier than it is. I’m confident that many of the questions we push to our employees every day are bad. And I mean BAD. As a result, employees are likely to get frustrated and “game the test” rather than take advantage of this part of the learning experience.

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.

Comparing the effectiveness of eLearning against its in-person peer poses a challenge. On one hand, the rapid growth of Internet technologies has seen a corresponding growth in online education. A 2015 survey by Babson Survey Research Group found that online students grew by nearly 4% over the previous year. This was the 13th consecutive year to record continual growth in students embracing online education.

Everyone wants their elearning course to be engaging. The more that a learner is engaged with the content the more likely they will internalize the key points. But “elearning engagement” can be hard to define (and as such difficult to achieve). What kind of engagement is needed, and how much is too much? Here’s a tip, when creating your content don’t think about elearning engagement as the last part to implement.

By Hannah Hunter , Instructional Writer. Let’s say you’ve created a training program to teach restaurant employees about proper handwashing techniques. How will you know if your program is successful? You could ask learners if they are washing their hands more now that they’ve taken the training, but they might not be completely honest. You could test learners on their knowledge of handwashing techniques, but a perfect score simply means that a learner understands a concept, not that they are pr

Everyone is jumping into the online course game, and with good reason. It’s a fantastic way to supplement (or possibly replace) your income. If you have expertise in a certain area, even if just a hobby, then you could potentially teach others this information.
