Recently, an instructional designer friend of mine asked me, “Should Marketing review eLearning courses and approve them before they are released?” I responded with a, “Yes, but…” There are legitimate reasons Marketing needs to see the course before it goes out. However, content isn’t one of them. That’s right, I said it. I am a marketing person, I am not an instructional designer.

The Law of the Lid, the first lesson of John C Maxwell’s The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership , states that the capability of an organization’s leadership is a lid on the organization’s overall performance. Incremental increases in an organization’s leadership ability can generate exponential returns, and vice versa, poor leadership can crush productivity.

As elearning creators we understand the benefits of creating elearning for the learners of an organisation, business or even the public and I’ve noticed it can be easy for us to stop learning ourselves. Lately at work I’ve been going out of my comfort zone as a developer, by exploring more of what Captivate can really do. We still use version 8 at work right now and even after 2 years of using it every day, I’ve realised I have so much to learn still.

For others who see the convenience and cost effectiveness of online learning, there may still be some hesitance among the organization’s leadership.

Leadership Bench Crisis. During the recent recession, there was limited investment in the development of younger, mid-level workers. This lack of focus on growing the leadership bench resulted in a serious skill gap in many workforces. As organizations begin to recognize their talent predicaments, many are developing strategic talent pipelines and are taking a second look at the value of mentoring programs, either formal (a structured process) or informal – letting mentors and mentees design the

During a meeting at Cambridge University around 30 years ago I was thoroughly chastised by a Cambridge academic. I’d used the phrase ‘learning delivery’ when describing computer-supported collaborative learning ( CSCL ) approaches. CSCL was one of the hot pedagogical approaches of the day – when network-based learning was in its relative infancy. “Charles, my dear fellow”, said the Cambridge man, “we may deliver milk, but learning is something that is acquired, never delivered”.

Would you notice if the sun didn’t come up tomorrow? Of course you would, because the sun comes up every day. You’re used to it. If it didn’t come up that would be breaking the pattern you’ve become accustomed to. There needs to be a pattern in order for a pattern to be broken and when a pattern is broken people take notice. This can be a real double edged sword, particularly in eLearning.

Therefore, when you see adult learners struggling to understand new concepts or failing to quickly grasp a new training topic, your intervention as an instructor should be imple
