When you’re designing a practice activity, such as a mini-scenario, your time and money are limited. So what should you prioritize? A stakeholder might insist you create lots of graphics, also known as “eye candy.” However, making those images cuts into the time you need to design a challenging activity. The cost of eye candy is often a too-easy activity.

Your supervisor stops by and says they’re super busy. They need you to take care of something they don’t have time to do. After showing you that “Everything you need is in this folder” they thank you for your help and walk off. You have no idea how to do the task you were just assigned. That’s how learners can feel if training’s learning objectives aren’t set up well.

In a recent article 3 Instructional Design Strategies For Virtual Reality Learning , I discussed three (among many) instructional design strategies for VR: Conceptual Orienteering, Critical Incident and Operational Application. In this article, I step back and look at seven fundamental principles that need to be designed into any VR experience. You’ll notice that all of these principles are included in the three instructional strategies mentioned in the above article.

Individuals learn in many ways for and at work; training or e-learning is only part of the picture as I show in the diagram below. Modern Professional Learning (as I call it) happens in many different ways – both inside and outside the organisation. It is partly organised by L&D, partly organised by a manager and partly self-organised. In the modern workplace L&D now has a tripartite role – not just organising thing s for people to learn from (e.g. courses and resources), it

Solution options that surface in a cat’s brain?? Flee. Hide. Fight. Unfortunately, those three options are not actually options; instead they represent a chain of escalation.

Faster than ever, the world is shifting and shaping how people work, exposing and creating deep skill divides across industries and around the world.

It is a new year and the perfect time to think ahead about exciting projects to come, and if you are involved in the elearning industry then this often means new courses for the new year. But before you start on those endeavors don’t forget about the courses you created last year.

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.

The corporate world has seen many training/learning and development trends in its lifetime; self-paced learning is one that’s here to stay. Over the years, self-paced learning has become one of the most popular styles of learning in the workplace. The reasons for this are straightforward: self-paced learning helps adult learners retain and later use crucial training information, lowers training costs, and promotes a quick adoption of products.

Video is a powerful instructional tool, but some of your students will need the extra step of captions in order to fully appreciate the message in a video-based lesson. This can be a time-consuming process, but fortunately several tools have been created to make this easier for online teachers and instructional designers. But Wait… Is Captioning My Videos REALLY Necessary?

As I have conversations with people creating their first online course I often hear them talk about two distinct things: Learner experience. Content security. And what many often come to realize is that paying attention too much to content security can ultimately lead to a poor learner experience. The desire to secure your course content, especially if your selling it, is understandable.

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.

Hi Everyone, As our species developed, we were never the fastest or strongest, so we learned how to take care of each other and become hard-wired for social interaction. Psychologist Albert Banderra’s Social Learning Theory recognized that we learn best in a group or community setting. More recently neuroscientists have been able to validate his theory through brain imaging techniques.

I'll tell you a secret. I enjoy speaking at ATD TechKnowledge more than I do ATD ICE. The people at this conference are so focused on a common goal - using EdTech to support the learning function.

Brain fog. We’ve all been there. The world gets fuzzy around the edges. We feel like we’re suffering from a bad case of jet lag. Brain fog, UGH. Technically, brain fog is the feeling of confusion, forgetfulness, or a lack of focus. Maybe you have trouble thinking, feel moody or easily distracted. Traditionally, our thoughts have been that brain fog is something that happens from time to time.

It doesn’t matter whether you are a beginning instructional designer or a seasoned veteran, you have most likely already experienced “scope creep.” Like most of us IDs, you have probably even been guilty of allowing a little bit (or a lot) of scope creep to enter into a project.

In the recent Chief Learning Officer magazine, I wrote an article on the basics of the cognitive science of learning. Given the evidence that “L&D isn’t doing near what it could and should, and what it is doing it is doing badly, other than that it’s fine” (as I say), at least one of the potential barriers is that L&D isn’t truly aware of what science says about their profession.

Keeping your learners entertained is a key component of an eLearning video course. How can you keep them engaged? By mimicking other videos that entertain them. I’m talking about movies and TV. In this age of easily accessible video entertainment, most of us are watching a lot of TV and movies. As you consume large amounts of this entertainment medium, sometimes in binging sessions of course, you may start thinking what my wife said to me not two weeks ago: “All of this is the same thing!”.
