How often have you taken an online course and remembered every single piece of information you consumed immediately afterward? Probably never! That’s down to the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve. Ebbinghaus’ forgetting curve depicts how quickly we forget information over time if we make no attempt to retain it. For L&D professionals, this presents an obvious challenge.

These are basically like a “cut scene” that shares additional information between the decision points. The conversations include some back and forth between the two characters, Sophie and Robert.

Mobile blended learning bridges the classroom-digital divide. Have you ever been in the middle of delivering a lecture and found yourself wishing you had a better way to reach your learners once the allotted class time finished? Or have you ever designed an online course and found yourself longing for face-to-face time with your learners that might help you bring your more complex concepts to life?

Following on my thoughts on writing yesterday, this was a topic that didn’t fit (the post got too long ;). So here we go. Colleagues have written that citations are important. If you’re making a claim, you should be able to back it up. On the other hand, if you’re citing what you think is ‘received wisdom’, do you need to bother?

Virtually There Session Recap. As trainers, we often have to design and deliver technical or hard-to-understand content to our learners. Oftentimes, the content itself doesn’t naturally draw people in or lend itself to being easily remembered. By leveraging new edtech , innovative instructional design techniques, and engaging facilitation, we make an honest effort to engage learners and improve organizational performance.

Gamification on mobile can create a learning experience that’s hard to put down. Looking for a way to reduce drop-out rates, raise engagement, and turn your course into a program your learners don’t want to stop using? Don’t we all. It may sound like a pipe dream, but the key to creating just such an experience lies in an instructional design technique that has caught on in e-learning circles in a big way: gamification.

My lass let me know there was a typo in my recent post on Transformation. I’m thrilled that she’s reading them (!), but she triggered many thoughts about my writing approach. I thought I’d share how I deal with blogging, articles, and writing in general, as a ‘ show your work ‘ effort. And, in a sense, solicit your thoughts on approach, editing, and topics (amongst other things).

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.

A learning management system (LMS) makes it easy to consolidate your training and learning materials into one place. And while that’s great and all, what happens if you need them in more than one place? Well, first let’s recognize that there’s a pretty big difference between consolidation and isolation. Just as no man is an island, no software should be either.

Picture it: someone at a networking event asks you to describe your job. What words come to mind? If you answered “fun!” first, count yourself among the lucky few. Most of us take our professional responsibilities seriously and seek out opportunities that challenge us. However, pursuing our serious dreams often results in roles that fundamentally lack fun.

Millennials made the need for learning technology clear – Gen-Z will push you to perfect how it’s used to retain and engage new workers. A few months ago, we discussed the idea that in less than two years, your entire learning program could be obsolete. But it won’t be because the learning technology used to power existing L&D strategies will fail to adapt (actually, advances in learning technology will make sure this doesn’t happen).
