The ADDIE model has served the instructional design community well for decades. For the uninitiated, ADDIE stands for: Analysis. Design. Development. Implementation. Evaluation. But in the “real world,” the analysis phase is often curtailed, if not overlooked outright. Why? Decision-makers are often not versed in the ADDIE methodology. They may make the assumption that training is required as part of a project because it seems obvious.

A few weeks ago, I posted an article, sharing my top four instructional design books for new eLearning designers. I was shocked by the number of responses I received from folks, sharing their favorite books. Well, for this week, I thought I would continue the trend and share my favorite graphic design books for new eLearning designers. Graphic design is one of those topics and skills that a lot of new (and experienced) eLearning designers struggle to master.

Given the critical importance of compliance training, it’s understandable that it can be a costly undertaking. The cost doesn’t just include the provision of training itself. It also extends to the loss in productivity when large numbers of staff are taking away from their jobs to attend courses. This post was first published on eLearning Industry.

Most organizations spend 2.5 times more on sales training than they do on product knowledge training. While selling skills are certainly important, organizations will see exponential ROI from training sales people on what they’re actually selling.

Videos are extremely popular in online courses, but how do you prevent people from stealing the content? This is a question we often get ask to our support so I thought I would take a minute to discuss videos and online video security. There are a number of great tools out there that you can use for locking-down your video access, but before jumping into those options I think it is important to note one thing: nothing is foolproof.

Flexibility is a growing employee expectation. But this doesn’t just mean better schedules and work/life balance. Employees are increasingly looking to take control of their entire working experience which, for many people, means employment is not a full-time, long-term proposition. At the same time, organizations are shifting their staffing models to become more agile and responsive to changes in demand.

How do you incorporate quizzes into your eLearning? Do you believe in the “quiz early, quiz often” strategy, or do you wait until the end of the course? Or do you live on the edge and say “who needs those darn quizzes anyway?”. Some people argue that delivering multiple choice quizzes in eLearning makes adult learners feel like schoolchildren. However, at eLearning Brothers, we know that quizzes can take many forms!

Today’s marketplace is incredibly competitive. It could even be said that more than your product offering, it is the quality of your customer service that will make or break your organization. According to a report, businesses lose as much as $41 billion each year just to poor customer service. The task is made more complex by the various kinds of touchpoints where employees interface with customers, the call center, the store, and even online.

Your course is built, but is it ready to be launched? No! Don’t forget this important step! The biggest mistake that I see people make when they create their online course is that they don’t have any user testing before they launch it. What usually happens is that they go through the course themselves a few times and then when they are happy with the workflow they press “publish” This is a bad idea.
