The Future of Work and Learning

The Performance Improvement Blog

I have been asked to speak to a group of 14 to 16 year olds about the importance of finishing high school and attending college. It’s one of my favorite topics. But as I thought about the talk I realized that I better say something about the future of work and why college has become more important than ever.

Jane Hart

My previous blog post that revealed that around 70% of respondents in my recent survey found training (including e-learning) “unimportant” or only “somewhat important” has generated quite a bit of interest.

WARNING: Adobe Captivate’s Worst Feature…

LearnDash

Adobe Captivate is a great tool with tons of functionality, but you should absolutely avoid this one feature at all costs, unless you enjoy massive headaches and loads of rework! With so many learning tools out there, it is common to integrate a few of them for online learning.
