What do you picture when you hear the word “eLearning”? Chances are everyone thinks of something slightly different, based on their personal experiences. I’d like to share my first impressions of it, from back before I’d ever heard of “eLearning.” This was years before I became an instructional designer, back when I was a kid.

I love the versatility of Articulate Storyline 2 and the ability to forego the default options for navigation in favor of truly custom courseware. However, there’s one drawback I learned of by getting rid of all the buttons that line the bottom of the Storyline course player (Previous, Next, Submit, volume, and the seekbar): navigation for the Review Quiz function is missing!

In 2009 FarmVille owned the simulated farming world. Within a year of being released Farmville had 73 million monthly active users – 20% of Facebook’s 350 million users signed on to play the game on a monthly basis. Even more intriguing, 27.5 million users signed on every. Single. Day. If you somehow missed the revolution, Farmville was a farming simulation and social network game, developed by Zynga, which could be played on Facebook.

Our profession is undergoing a transformation, moving away from rigid, one-size-fits-all methodologies. Instead, project managers are embracing dynamic and adaptable frameworks that carefully consider project and product variables to determine the most suitable development approaches and project life cycles.

You take the time to develop eLearning content and then send it out to employees, only to get back disappointing analytics and lackluster adoption rates. Where did you go wrong? Captain Obvious moment: if you can’t even entice employees to click a link or open an attachment, they’re probably not going to click through and consume your generic learning material.

If I had been born a little bit later, I might actually be a neuroscientist instead of a learning consultant. But as Neil deGrasse Tyson has often pointed out , bright girls in the 1960s and 1970s were primarily encouraged to become nurses or teachers. I’m a bit squeamish when it comes to blood, so I believed from the age of 12 that I would become a teacher.

When working from home, Instructional Designers and Developers can easily fall into a routine that involves a lot less getting ready for the work day and a lot more getting straight to work – which can be problematic for many of us who call home their office.

Faster than ever, the world is shifting and shaping how people work, exposing and creating deep skill divides across industries and around the world. As a result, business and HR leaders are scrambling to “upskill” employees. If you’re scrambling to upskill your employees but don’t know where to start, make skills analysis a routine part of your decision-making process.

One of the most import questions you will face when deploying an LMS is, “how do I organize my users?” The decisions you make here will impact things like Reporting and Admin Rights, as well as Content Management, Branding, and Enrollment Rules for learners. If you plan to create your user accounts via a feed from your HRIS or payroll system, then it will be difficult to make changes down the road without impacting your integrations and processes.

I write a lot about the science of learning, so today I thought we should talk about science. The word “science” comes from the Latin “ scientia ” which means “knowledge.” In Western culture, the ancient Greeks developed an approach toward gaining information about the world through the use of the scientific method. It goes like this: Ask a question.

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.

Then a friend request popped up. My mate had also been given a FitBit for Christmas and he challenged me to a 'Workweek Hustle'. Not only that, but 3 other mates were also invited to join the challenge. Suddenly I felt the urge to walk home instead of getting the bus! I found myself looking at my Fitbit app on a Thursday evening and trying to figure out how I could get an additional 10km onto my weekly total before the Friday deadline.

Make sure your team is buying an LMS for the year you’re in. Apart from a two-year stint selling tropical fish at a local pet shop when I was 16, my entire career has been in learning technology. Fresh out of university, I worked as a content developer and designed and authored hundreds of hours of online courses. As an analyst a decade later, I wrote industry reports about learning management systems, authoring tools, and other technologies.

We’ve all been there. You’ve been given a pile of dry content and asked to create a compelling eLearning course. You’re determined to create something more engaging than the same old course that learners quickly click through, but how do you take this “boring” content and create something relevant and engaging? Many instructional designers will say, “Boring in means boring out.

Microlearning is a hot topic right now—and for good reason. Providing solutions that align to the science of learning and fit into employees’ regular workflow should get people plenty excited. But, the reality is, not everyone may share your enthusiasm. After all, microlearning isn’t just about making shorter videos. It represents a fundamental shift in how most organizations have traditionally approached learning.

Searches on Google on some e-Learning related terms are dropping year by year: searches on Instructional design for example dropped by 80% since 2005. On SCORM the drop is 83%. Is this a decline in interest for e-Learning or is a signal for something else? Why is this happening? I do not believe it is a declining interest in e-Learning. The e-Learning market is over 50 billion and is growing with double digits each year.
