Not so long ago, in a nearby place, someone spent a lot of time leaving notes about the photos in an eLearning storyboard. It turned out that they were just placeholders. The final course was going to use a different set of stock photos. At about the same time, in an equally close place, another frustrated reviewer tried to visualize a course based on only three columns of written descriptions: audio, onscreen visuals, and interactivity.

When you use voice over for elearning, do you want it to sound natural and flowing, or do you want it to sound stiff and didactic? A great voice over person can make a good script more engaging, and a great script sound fantastic. However, if the script itself is completely stiff and unnatural, there’s only so much a voice over person can do. One common problem in writing for voice over is overly complex sentences.

Not that long ago, in a galaxy, well, right here, learning management systems were something that were out of the reach of small and medium-sized organizations. They were expensive to license, cost a fortune to implement and often took 6-months or more for setup, training, configuration, and customization. The payoff? Interfaces were clunky and dated, and LMS administrators would have to go through extensive onsite training to learn how to do basic course and user management.

Evaluation is yet again in the limelight as we hear and read how important it is, and yet how L&D teams aren't quite measuring up. Yes, there's a need for evaluation to get more aligned to performance measures and business KPIs; but actually, we think there's a slightly different issue afoot. And one that Kirkpatrick can't help you with. We need to stop evaluating courses, and start evaluating learning.

We've all heard a lot about "microlearning." What is it, why is it, and does it work? Over the last few years we've seen a growing use of the term "microlearning." While there is no clearly agreed-upon definition of this term (and those who doubt its very existence), I think it might be boiled down this way: it is an approach that utilizes mobile platforms and sophisticated multimedia to deliver training in brief, condensed pieces.
