Context is key to creating successful eLearning experiences. Learners must be able to put their knowledge to use outside the virtual classroom, and simulating real world challenges is one of the best ways to achieve this. In this article, I’ll shed light on the situated cognition theory, from its core principles to tips that will help you use it in your next eLearning course.

For well over a decade the Sharable Content Object Reference Model, or SCORM as it’s affectionately known, has been the standard for tracking eLearning. SCORM is established and trusted but limited, which has given rise to a new standard, Experience API or Tin Can API (The name depends on who you ask, but refers to the same thing). While very similar in function, it is important to note that Tin Can API is not SCORM with a new name, nor is Tin Can simply an upgrade.

2015 was a big year for Docebo and the learning industry as a whole. New ideas, and revelations on older ideas, were brought to the stage and molded into the strategies we’ll be using in 2016 and beyond. We thought now would be a good time to reflect on our year in research. If you haven’t read any of these reports or you’re looking for more information on learning , MOOCs , and learning across the extended enterprise , these resources are all great places to start.

It turned out to be one of our most highly attended webinars of the year, which clearly highlights the importance of microlearning as a topic in our space. During the course of the webinar, Carol explained what microlearning is, why it has become so hot, what to look for in a microlearning platform and how it is

When I talk to people about starting a blog, they often state they don’t have anything to write about. They ask how I come up with ideas, especially when I’ve been blogging so long. As I approach my ninth anniversary of starting this blog, I feel like I have more to write about than I did after one year. I get stuck on writing sometimes, just like everyone else, but I’ve figured out ways to work through those blocks.

When I have conversations with people about elearning, training, and all things related, it I find a curious similarity in the way these events are described. All seem to be referred to as standalone, finite events. While less common in the educational sector, I found this to be unanimously true with my corporate consulting engagements. Leadership wanted to define the single learning event, creating training (both elearning and instructor-led events ), schedule the delivery, and measure the resu

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.

Course Authoring Made Simple. Stumped with where to begin with video production for your courses? Do not feel you need to be a professional videographer or a production professional in order to generate video content for your online courses. If you are engaged in a highly robust project then perhaps you may need content of that caliber but for most of our elearning learners that is not necessary.

What’s your learning style? Perhaps it’s based on your senses (auditory, tactile, visual); or how you engage with content (hands on, conceptual or reflective); or even how you relate to others (collaborative, competitive). It’s a hard choice, especially since according to one comprehensive study there are over 71 learning styles from a range of different models.

Reviews are a key part of developing any eLearning. In my experience, they’re also one of the steps that cause the most confusion and delays. Whether you’re working with an outside vendor or someone within your association, clear communication and good documentation can make the process much smoother. Reviews generally take place at two points, the storyboard and the actual course.

On Wednesday, November 18, 2015, I traveled to New York City to meet with Bloomingdale’s, one of Axonify’s customers. That same day, ISIS followed up their attacks on Paris with a threat against New York City targets, one of which was Times Square. Obviously, this threat was taken very seriously by Bloomingdale’s. The company is a New York City icon.

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.

If this post describes your organization, you need to make the transition to a learning culture. The amount and complexity of knowledge and skills that each of your employees needs is increasing dramatically every day due to technology and globalization. Simple, repetitive tasks are being automated (e.g., banking) and online technologies are disrupting traditional businesses (e.g., transportation).

Many of us know that elearning is great because it is a convenient way to provide training to a large number of people at the fraction of the cost of live training initiatives. The content is delivered consistently as well and results of which can be accurately measured. Entrepreneurs have also gravitated towards the elearning industry because of how it makes it easy for them to monetize information.

Microlearning and its Impact. Microlearning is important to all learners. It’s not: Microlearning is so important to learners of all ages and backgrounds because of its ability to send short bursts of…. Keep it simple. Keep it short. In a previous article we talked about some simple video tools to make content. Do not make your content with the “Gone With The Wind” approach because that is literally how much your learners will retain.

Recently I was looking for background information about implementing an LMS. Naturally I did what most people do and searched the Internet for “lms implementation.” After working my way down the list I noticed a link to the PDF “ 339 Tips on the Implementation of an LMS or LCMS ,” by the Elearning Guild. The document seemed interesting so I opened the link and noticed it was published November 20 th , 2006.

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.

It’s time to streamline. Streamlined learning is all about making it easier to create, customize, deliver and consume the knowledge that employees need to improve their job performance, whenever and wherever they are. With increased pressure on L&D to meet the rapidly-changing needs of the business—to compress turnaround time on learning programs, plus identify how learning directly links to the bottom line—we think it’s more important than ever to streamline learning across the organization

Gamification has been the buzz word of elearning for the past few years, but during many conversations with elearning professionals I have found that not everyone is convinced about its impact. The question lingers: is gamification still just hype? Since 2012 there has been a steady rise in its use. Back in 2012 the gamification niche of elearning was at $242 million.

In today's tight labor market, hiring and retaining top talent is more challenging than ever. Every day a job remains unfilled means lost productivity and revenue. 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.

As another component of the Future of Work thinking I’ve been doing, one thing that strikes me is the question of what helps people want to work, which I think pretty clearly will be important.

Some of my posts from earlier in the year seem so old by the time the end of the year rolls around so it’s almost necessary to look back on them. So here it goes, each post from the year and a brief reflection on that post.

The best investment you can make is one in yourself. Specifically, when you spend time or money into doing something that you’ve always wanted to do in the effort to gain a new skill (or experience).
