Is your online course adaptable to learner needs? Here’s how flexible learning can help. Flexible learning is naturally suited to e-learning and online courses. The point of an online course is to allow learners to go at their own pace and ensure they thoroughly understand the material in one module before moving on to the next. With the focus on mastering the material and online studies, flexible learning naturally lends itself well to this type of educational course.

Communicating effective through email is about much more than marketing. Email is one of the primary tools you have to communicate with your learners online. Used well, it can keep learners engaged, and prevent them from falling behind on their course work. However, used badly, it can flood the already-full inboxes of many users. Our training specialist, James Tryon, recently ran a webinar that covered the technical aspect of getting emails to send in WordPress.

I had the great pleasure of having an extended conversation with Keith Quinn for the SSSC (Scottish Social Services Council) Learncast. Recording this podcast on learning was genuinely a highlight of my week. Keith asked some thought-provoking questions, and we had a great, varied (if sometimes rambling) chat. We spoke for over an hour, but I feel like we could have continued for much longer.
