Training employees, whether through a part of onboarding or promotion, can be stressful, but it’s important that your learners are engaged and retaining the required knowledge. We talk a lot about the 70:20:10 learning model, and we know it works, but training professionals in much of the world have yet to adopt this approach.

And recently there have been a number of other studies that have concurred with my findings!

Micro-learning is somewhat of a newcomer in everyday elearning vernacular. Sure, instructional designers have always known about delivering content in small, manageable chunks but it was never as much of a necessity as it is today. The rise of mobile devices and elearning has resulted in greater demand for micro-content. It is now a must-have skill for anyone creating online training as it will only be in greater demand over the years.

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 is not a secret that most technical subject matter including training for new software, tools, or applications is boring. While all eLearning courses must be instructionally sound, fun, and engaging, technical training is much harder to design as the content is almost always dull and, at the same time, extremely critical for accurately performing the job.

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?

There may be parts of our job that we hate doing but we have no choice. We hate working on our taxes so we put it off until tomorrow. We may be assigned projects that just seem tantamount to climbing a mountain and so we say to ourselves: “I will do it tomorrow.
