Think about the last speech you heard. Do you remember all the facts and statistics? Or, do you remember the details of the story the speaker (hopefully) shared to illustrate their point? I’m willing to bet you recall the story—the problem, the characters, the climax, the solution, and how that story made you feel. It’s a similar situation with eLearning.

Instructional Designing and Critical Thinking? We all know that thinking comes naturally to us – and has a major role in placing us at the highest hierarchical level among the rest of the species. However, the concept of thinking critically is what distinguishes leaders from ordinary thinkers. This realization was actually enforced recently, while I was talking to my friend.

The learning landscape is not constant, shifting the learning focus on learners, learning, skills, goals and attitude. A decade ago, there was a tug of war for the online and the traditional learning. The tussle continues even to this day with the learning modalities of both online and traditional learning overlapping in terms of treatment, elements, and components.

If you think back to your school days, you’ll probably remember several students who just found learning challenging. Maybe you had a friend or sibling who needed more help or maybe you were the one struggling. Even though these days are over, the same situation happens with learning in the workplace.

Nearly 15 years ago, educational thought-leader Marc Prensky wrote, in a piece on ‘Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants‘: “Today’s students are no longer the people our educational system was designed to teach.” This statement was apt in 2001 and with technology’s rapid development, it’s perhaps even more valid for many of today’s ‘digital learners’ Read More Published on September 8, 2016.

Salvador Dali, The Persistence of Memory. Where were you on 9/11/2001? I was teaching a virtual class early in the morning from my home in Rio Verde, Arizona. Suddenly, my students started disappearing. I had 20 participants, then 15, then 10, then none. I kept teaching until I had covered all the content, because I knew my client was sitting in and I knew what he expected.

Faster than ever, the world is shifting and shaping how people work, exposing and creating deep skill divides across industries and around the world. As a result, business and HR leaders are scrambling to “upskill” employees. If you’re scrambling to upskill your employees but don’t know where to start, make skills analysis a routine part of your decision-making process.

Fun Compliance Training – A Real Phrase. In life, there are few certainties, one in particular which you will be exposed and subjected to is compliance training. It is not everyone’s favorite and with good reason. Compliance training as we know it is meant to be a boring and highly regimented experience. But as many before me and many after me have pointed out, it does not have to be.

A year or so back, I was part of a mentoring program at my alma mater. They were pairing current students with recent graduates to help them with life skills that aren’t usually taught in class. I loved the idea and started making lesson plans and brainstorming activities for my future mentee. I listed out the topics I expected us to cover, started collecting reference material, and even considered making a gamified, digital framework for tracking progress.

The biggest part of creating an online courses (besides creating it) is to actively market it. In fact, I am a big proponent of marketing the course prior to it even being created. Online marketing can be overwhelming. It seems that nearly everyone says you have to produce content of some sort. Be it in a blog, writing on other sites, videos, or a podcast.

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.

It’s no secret that store employees spend a significant amount of their personal time on mobile phones. While on break, at lunch, or when the work day is over, chances are high that the first thing an employee does is check his or her phone to view new messages and find out what’s trending. The prevalence of mobile devices today and the connected attitude of workers—both young and old—means that a powerful and real-time communication tool is always in hand when off the job.

Starting an online business is the dream for many people. The idea of waking up in the morning to check a few emails, look at sales, and then make yourself some breakfast is quite appealing. But it’s a false reality, at least for successful online businesses. I was inspired to write this post because I was answering a pre-sales message from a perspective customer and they wanted to know how LearnDash compared to a new competing product that they had discovered.

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?

LMS administrators are a necessity for the successful implementation and upkeep of an LMS.

Part One focused on the technical issues that an LMS Administrator will deal with on a regular basis, while Part Two takes an in-depth look at the larger role an LMS Administrator has in implementing and running an LMS.

It is well-known that selling an online course is a great way to supplement your income, or replace it altogether! However, the problem that most people face is that they don’t know if their course topic will sell. It’s one thing to say, “follow your passion”, but if your passion is an obscure hobby then the market might not be large enough.

In today's tight labor market, hiring and retaining top talent is more challenging than ever. Every day a job remains unfilled means lost productivity and revenue. But vacancies can affect much more than your revenue. There are multiple direct and indirect costs, and it's crucial to adapt your recruiting strategies to prioritize the most costly open roles.

I’ve often wondered about the relevance of 3D printing in the corporate sector because we rarely produce a thing. Our products – such as bank accounts and insurance policies – are essentially 1’s and 0’s floating in the ether. Then I attended a webinar presented by Jon Soong from Makers Empire. This Australian startup is active in the K12 sector, helping teachers bring 3D printing into their classrooms.

I’ve had the fortune to be hear in China speaking on mlearning. And there are a couple of interesting revelations that I hadn’t really recognized when I did the same last year that I thought I’d share. For one, while mobile is everywhere like many places, it’s more here. It seems many people carry more than one phone, for a variety of reasons (one fellow said that he carried another because the battery wouldn’t last all day!).

So, for example, you might need to find the answer to a question. It might be work related, or even personal but impacting your effectiveness.
