I recently mentioned that one of the problems with research is that things are more interconnected than we think. This is particularly true with cognitive research. While we can make distinctions that simplify things in useful ways (e.g. the human information processing system model*), the underlying picture is of a more interactive system. Which underpins why it makes sense to talk about Learning Experience Design (LXD) and not just instructional design.

In my Twine scenario on stakeholder writing feedback, I show conditional feedback messages at the end based on the choices made. I do this by scoring the decisions and adding to a total score each time. At the end, I check the score and show a feedback message based on the range. In this post, I’ll explain step by step how I used scoring and feedback in Twine.

Most organizations have realized the need to collaborate with external partners to design and deliver effective corporate training. Organizations adopt the Managed Learning Services strategy to help with business transformation and improve overall learning experiences. Managed Learning Services (MLS) is a strategic outsourcing model adopted by Learning & Development functions to streamline their training activities and end-to-end learning management.

I’ve argued before about the need for evaluation in our work. This occurs summatively, where we’re looking beyond smile sheets to actually determine the impact of our efforts. However, it also should work formatively, where we’re seeing if we’re getting closer. Yet there are some ways in which we go off track. So I want to talk about iterating and evaluating our learning initiatives.

Trying to define curiosity is like trying to define the color blue. Depending on your perspective, mindset, and motivations – curiosity could mean being open to more information or inclined to risk-taking actions and decisions, falling down the rabbit hole of the internet, or being engrossed in research papers. . Curiosity is such a natural part of who we are and what we do that we are oblivious to its reach into our lives.

How do we cope with change? There’s a myth that we resist change, but Peter de Jaeger busted that in a talk I heard where he pointed out that we make changes all the time. We get married, take a different job, have kids, all of which are changes. The difference is that these are changes we choose! However, in this era of increasing change, we’re likely going to face more and more changes we didn’t expect.

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.

In e-learning, the most commonly addressed audience is an organization’s internal employees. That makes sense, given the immediate impact that your employees will have on your organization’s bottom line. There are, however, benefits to expanding your learning programs beyond internal audiences to address your extended enterprise. One such activity, which yields massive returns, is customer training. .
