One of the biggest challenges faced by e-learning developers the world over, is being able to efficiently and effectively develop learning for multiple devices and platforms. In the golden age of e-learning development, it was always a bit ‘hit and miss’ as to how your module would look across multiple platforms. How your module would look on a desktop was the known factor, because that is what most people used to access it.

Do you know: What are Section 508 and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)? How to make e-learning courses accessible to all as mandated by the law? Well, Section 508 and WCAG establish a set of rules that when followed, ensure your e-learning content is accessible to even learners with disabilities such as blindness, low vision, speech and hearing impairments, learning disability, limited movement, and photosensitivity.

When someone mentions scenario-based learning, do you automatically think of complex branching scenarios? While that’s one way to implement scenarios (and a very effective one!), I don’t think it’s the only option. A range of options are available, from passive to active. Even if you can’t convince your organization to invest in full-blown branching, you can find less intensive alternatives to incorporate scenarios and storytelling.

Over the years technology has been changing the way we live, communicate, educate and learn. Smartphones, laptops, social networks, unlimited access to the Internet, immediacy of information. Technology has become such a significant part of our everyday lives that we stopped noticing it. But are these changes for the good or bad? Have we become less creative and able to think deeply?

Whenever there are popular apps and platforms it seems like it is only a matter of time until we see it used in education. Facebook groups have been used in adult education, even Facebook based learning management systems. We have seen Twitter leveraged for education as well by both teachers in the classroom and at professional conferences. YouTube has been a perennial favorite with educators in nearly every sector.

You’re locked in a room with a handful of people, often strangers. You need to work together to find clues and problem solve in order to escape before time runs out. That’s the premise behind escape rooms. They’ve been gaining popularity as team building and “just for fun” attractions over the past few years. But what would happen if a group of learning professionals created one, rather than the attraction industry?

There is a big misconception when it comes to selling online courses, and unfortunately it deters people from pursuing them altogether. It is an objection that I have come across multiple times, so I felt that I should finally set the record straight on the issue once and for all: you don’t have to be an accredited university or training program to offer a certificate for your course.

By Ethan Edwards, Chief Instructional Strategist/ @ethanaedwards. We often talk about the importance of motivation in e-learning instructional design. In fact, we’ve even said that motivation is often more important than the specific content when seeking to maximize the impact of instruction—particularly in e-learning, where relatively few social or external environmental factors are likely to inspire learners.

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.

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?

All organizations want to identify, develop, and deploy their high-performance employees. And no wonder: The top 5% of a company’s employees account for a full quarter ( 26%, according to ERE Media ) of its productivity. Still, more is needed than just good intentions and “managerial instinct”—whatever that is. The best-performing companies have well-developed systems in place to identify high-potential employees and turn them into production powerhouses.
