How do you spell elearning? Or should I say e-learning with a hyphen? And how do you capitalize it? ELearning? Elearning? eLearning? E-Learning? E-learning? e-Learning? Before I wrote this, I had preferred to use “elearning” without a hyphen, and “eLearning” for capitalization. But then I would find myself waffling back and forth, unsure if I was making the right decision.

Rather than delivering eLearning content as a lecture, you can explain it through conversations. While more resource-intensive multimedia may be desired, you have a range of options with this technique. It’s possible to use conversations even with a low budget. In the past, I’ve created conversation-driven eLearning with video, animation, and photos.

We’ve been talking a lot about how to buy learning lately, such as the challenge of learning and development outsourcing , and how to create an eLearning outsourcing strategy , and how to select a training outsourcing company. The reason we have been talking so much about outsourcing is because we believe that most companies are not outsourcing their learning and development with a clear strategy in mind, and therefore not achieving the most successful outsourcing outcomes.

Creating an online course? I’ll bet the autopilot in your brain is saying this: “First, present the basic concepts. Next, tell them the details. Then, show them what to do. Finally, have them do it.” Pull the plug on that autopilot and consider doing this instead. Create a challenging, realistic practice activity (not a knowledge check).

Some time ago, a colleague of mine wrote a blog called Learning Myths: Debunked , in which he stated that learning styles is a myth. Having obtained a degree in Elementary Education, I was shocked and still skeptical that learning styles was indeed a myth. As a student, I was consistently challenged to find new ways to teach a subject based on learning styles.

Since online learning often separates teachers from learners across time and distance, we rely on evaluations – in the form of tests, quizzes and assessments – to judge each student’s successful comprehension of the content (and to judge how well the course designers presented their information). But what makes a good test question? Is it meant to challenge a student?

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.

Have you ever tried to get someone interested in what you were saying or doing, only to have that person zone out on you? Of course you have. Being unsuccessful at engaging others is part of the human experience. In day-to-day life situations in which we are simply sharing with others things of interest to us, this is harmless enough. However, in corporate training situations, it’s a different story.

I recently wrote about “ desire paths ” and learning, linking a concept in architectural design to learning design. Basically, the idea is that our brains naturally look for the easiest path to our destination, so over time users of a system will show the designers where the formal pathways should be. It turns out that your brain isn’t just looking at the easiest path in the physical world; it is constantly creating a backup plan for every tiny decision you make, all day long.

When you think of the word “trend,” what images come to mind? If you went to high school in the 80s, perhaps you see visions of blue eye shadow and big hair. Or, maybe you associate the word with fashion. The truth is that trends affect every aspect of our existence, not just those that are superficial. There are trends in language, cuisine, music, art, and politics.
