It’s a pain when something breaks right when you need it. If you’re lucky, whatever it is will start working again when you try to show the problem to someone else. (You know, just so it can spite you and make it you look like you’re crazy). eLearning is no exception. But it’s a bit more complicated than a broken vacuum cleaner. If the vacuum is working, it’ll work for anyone.

Ask any eLearning expert about the ingredients of achieving success with online learning and their answer is likely to include – ‘choice of platform, ‘features offered’, ‘learner’s ability’, ‘trainer’s knowledge’ and may be even ‘luck’. . But there is another important ingredient that many forget to focus on – i.e. personalization. . In today’s world where technology dominates almost every aspect of our lives, the ‘ one-size-fits-all’ solution doesn’t work.

You may have read dire predictions that instructional design is dead. The eLearning Guild just published a report titled “ Is instructional design a dying art? ” One of the guild’s recent surveys asked participants if ID is a dying field. Is it really?

In 2015, less than half (49%) of all learning was instructor-led in a classroom without a virtual learning component, marking a steady decline over the course of seven years according to the Association of Talent Development. The conversion of classroom training to virtual training is a growing trend that cannot be ignored. But how do we successfully transition instructor-led training into a virtual training session without losing our audience?

I’ve got too much money and not enough places to spend it! Chances are, if you are reading this article, these words have never come out of your mouth. With demand for training outreaching supply by a widening margin, this puts tremendous pressure on L&D teams to invest in the right solution. An entire book could be written on whether this money should be spent on leadership , customer support , onboarding , etc., so we have decided to only focus on one item in this article: sales training.

If you have a course then there is a chance that you are awarding certificates at the end of that course. Whether your course is online only or in-person, certificates are a common way people demonstrate that they have completed training. This can be training for their profession, or just for fun – truth is that people like certificates! In the old days ( real old days) people used to use Microsoft Publisher to whip up basic certificate designs.

Trying to have a conversation with someone who “already knows everything” is like talking to a wall. Nothing you have to say matters because they’ll automatically tune you out. To them, the “conversation” is either a waste of time or a way to show off their own smarts. Learners can fall into this pattern too. It often happens because 1) they really do know their stuff and don’t think they have anything left to learn or 2) because they’re new and insecure.

Do you remember the last time you enrolled into a course without checking its reviews first? For better or worse, user reviews are often viewed as proof of the quality , expertise, and professionalism of an online course (or any online product for that matter). Often, the rating of the course is the deciding factor when a student is on the fence about whether or not to enroll.

Some folks talk about training as “coaching." I think they have the metaphor wrong. Coaching means developing skills within a team by repetitive drilling and motivating them using a combination of respect and fear. Real training is nothing like that. Real training is more like cheerleading than coaching. Engage the Players (Learners). So I’m standing in a conference room with my trusty slide deck and handouts, looking out at the other folks in the room for my training.

Is a learning management system, or an LMS, really worth the investment? This is a question many corporate leaders are asking themselves. A learning management system is a significant investment. Even an LMS that is economical can take a chunk out of a company’s budget. Most company decision makers don’t mind spending money on an LMS, but they want to be certain that they will receive a good return on their investment before they make a move.

Online courses being a “solo” effort are slowly become a thing of the past. The most effective programs strive to create a sense of community. For a number of years the biggest downside to online courses has been that they take a lot of self-motivation. You start off eager to learn but over time it is easy to lose interest. Like many people I have experienced this as well with a handful of the online language learning programs out there.
