I had a bad user experience (UX) at a dollar store a while back. I’m not talking about customer service, but actual UX design. I swiped my card into the card reader to pay. A prompt told me to click “Enter,” with an arrow pointing at one of the buttons. It’s a good thing I stopped, because the button the arrow pointed to wasn’t the enter button. It was on the other end of the keypad.

If you haven’t heard yet, Adobe made some news in the elearning industry yesterday. Specifically, they released their learning management system and Adobe Captivate 9. I discussed the new Adobe learning management system previously in this article. I’m interested to see how that one plays out and what the general perception will be from those who use it.

In the spirit of ‘Show Your Work,’ I thought I’d share the workflow I use during course development with an authoring tool (see Why You Should Show Your Work for more on this). This workflow is the process I typically use after I have an approved storyboard/script and prototype. It’s simple and straightforward and is […] Post from: The eLearning Coach My Workflow For Development.

Thank you to everyone who is reading this, from the long term readers who have been there since the beginning to the ones who just found me today.

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.

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.

These days, asking someone to leave their mobile device at the door is like suggesting that a fish go a day without water. Whether it’s our phones, tablets, laptops or watches, most of us feel as dependent on our devices as we do air. It doesn’t matter if we are out to dinner, on top of a mountain or in a meeting—we can’t help but wonder what we’re missing on the screens tucked away in our pockets and briefcases.

The job of an Ethicon (Johnson & Johnson) sales rep is only becoming more demanding. Besides needing to remember increasing amounts of medical product information, reps must also keep up with changing medical policies and procedures. The company’s outdated approach to training was falling short and Ethicon knew it had to radically change its approach.

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.

Social learning has been in existence for ages now. Inherently, man’s basic desire is to observe, learn, and share. Today, social learning is more defined to the extent of being perceived as a formal concept. Leveraging the existing social learning platforms has promoted the culture of learning. Hence, the future of social learning at the workplace lies in continuous social communication and collaboration via personal and technology-enabled methods.

by Jennie Ruby I was reading my current favorite author the other day, but something was wrong. The text did not flow as smoothly as usual. I had to read one paragraph three times to figure out who shot whom (yes, my current recreational reading is in the spy/action/detective genre). And then I stumbled over a raggedy sentence that made me stop to look at its grammar.

But vacancies can affect much more than your revenue. There are multiple direct and indirect costs, and it's crucial to adapt your recruiting strategies to prioritize the most costly open roles.
