It’s March! Winter is almost over and it’s time for Spring cleaning. I’m not talking about your closet; I’m talking about your video library. When was the last time you reviewed what was in there? When I looked in my closet this weekend, I was overwhelmed. I saw items I no longer wear. Am I really going to wear that bridesmaid’s dress again? No, I’m not, but it has sentimental value.

We’ve been talking a lot about how to buy learning lately, such as the challenge of learning and development outsourcing , and how to create an eLearning outsourcing strategy , and how to select a training outsourcing company. The reason we have been talking so much about outsourcing is because we believe that most companies are not outsourcing their learning and development with a clear strategy in mind, and therefore not achieving the most successful outsourcing outcomes.

Athletes, savvy entrepreneurs and hard-nosed businesspeople have known for decades that being agile in the face of tough competition is the key to success.

They stand for Quality, Teamwork, Cost effectiveness, Employee and Customer inclusiveness and Professionalism, all wrapped around exceptional Customer satisfac

Who or what did you want to know more about? What did you think was going to happen next? Is that what happened next? Now think of the beginning of an eLearning course. How did you feel after getting through that opening for the first time?

When designing learning for virtual classrooms or a blended learning program, one of your primary missions is to capture and maintain the attention of your learners. This can be challenging in a space that is still new to many learners. Think about it: we are asking somebody to sit at a computer for one or more hours, and focus only on the content being taught.

InSync training was launching a new community of practice in March – the Blended Learning Hub -- and I wanted to emphasize how InSync Training is a credible expert in all things having to do with blended learning. So why not create 50 pieces of modern learning content and push them out to the learning universe?

Our expectations are shaped by our experiences interacting with these applications. The online learning space has always been one to adapt to change.

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.

Good interactive learning environments with individualized feedback can often be cost-prohibitive. It might be too expensive to integrate real interactivity into a blended learning program , or to develop good case studies, or to provide individualized and specific feedback for each learner. It turns out, however, you often have a highly intelligent, adaptive resource at your disposal – your own modern learners.

In online marketing people like to talk about “conversions” If you have a website you want to drive traffic to that site so that these people are exposed to your offer. You want to convert these visitors into paying customers. If for every 100 visitors you get two paying customers then you have a two percent conversation rate. In this case, marketers focus on two things to increase sales: driving more traffic to the offer and improve the conversion rate.

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?

My initial reaction was to deny that I was making any political statements, but the truth is, I was and I knew it.

One of the best ways to communicate new ideas and concepts is by demonstrating those concepts at work in a scenario that a learner can relate to. First, it provides a “safe” place for a learner to fail in the event that they don’t quite yet understand the new concept. It also is a great way for learners to understand how to apply the new information they are learning.

Those of you who are familiar with PowerPoint know that it can support and allow for the creation of some amazing graphical content. The only draw back is that you don’t have complete control over every aspect of the graphic as compared to software programs such as Adobe Illustrator. Another thing that can be drastically different from PowerPoint to Illustrator is the creation process.

Visualizing data helps others make sense of it. And if your success depends on getting others to see your data in a certain way, rather than getting lost in its complexities, then data visualization can also be a powerful psychological ally.
