I was surfing the web to prepare for that post, when I saw a BlackBoard press release and immediately switch subject: Blackboard acquires Moodlerooms, Netspot. This really is news. Blackboard is one of the largest LMS vendors in the world and is considered state enemy #1 in the Moodle community.

It is my endeavor to take a look at the e-learning course design process here, so that you can decide how to build a tool kit that addresses all process components. E-learning course creation is all about having a design process in place to build the right course in time.

Contrary to popular belief, organization culture can be changed, if only leaders put their minds to it. Some executives try to sidestep culture by arguing that the culture in their organizations can’t be changed. It is what it is. It's always been that way. This is short-sighted thinking. Culture is difficult to change but not impossible. Leaders have to show the way by challenging current values, basic assumptions, beliefs, expected behaviors, and norms.

Increasingly, as I look around, I see folks addressing learning technology tactics; they’ll make a mobile app, they’ll try out a simulation game, they’ll put in a portal. And there’s nothing wrong with doing each of these as a trial, a test run, some experience under the belt. However, in the longer term, you want to start doing so strategically.

Upon engagement to my wife, she gave me a gift of a beautiful gold bracelet. Jewelry had never really been important to me, though that bracelet quickly became a favorite. Shortly after we were married, I remember making a comment about not owning any other jewelry beyond my wedding band, and a signet ring on my right hand. For Christmas that year I received the most precious gift of my life.

I recently reviewed a 2010 Ted Talk by Sir Ken Robinson where he argues for change in education. He warns us against the industrialisation, systematisation and standardisation of education – how this linear, ‘one size fits all’ treatment of education stifles the organic nature of learning. Are we creating a ‘fast food’ standardisation mentality with e-learning courseware?

Placement of the word only is frequently tweaked by copyeditors for greater accuracy in writing-especially technical writing.

Question from a client: We’re rolling out workshops about a new people development process. We want to use e-learning to reach the people we miss. How should we go about it? Should we use e-learning via the LMS or video on the intranet? This is a good question. Of course the question should be linked directly to purpose, and all modalities should be planned concurrently.

For some time now, I have an evaluation report of an organization that has experience with the introduction of social media (like wikis and blog) in the organization since 2009. The report is very interesting, because it shows that the actual practice of changing habits in organisations is very hard! They allowed me to blog about it and I think it has some valuable lessons like shape such a process as a real change trajectory (I'm personally convinced about this).

Project managers are now spending more time managing strategic projects where the scope is susceptible to changes as the projects progress. Scope change control is now becoming a critical component of project management requiring project teams to become more active in solving problems and making decisions.

Ultimately there comes a time when you will want to implement a learning management system, and sooner or later you’ll stumble upon this thing called SCORM and you’ll wonder: does it really matter? If you’re looking to put up just one eLearning course, then perhaps the answer is “no”, SCORM doesn’t really matter. But this isn’t the common scenario. For the most part, organizations who are considering implementing a LMS have multiple courses they want to train to with future plans of expansion.
