Acquistions – Someone had an idea

eLearning 24-7

The other day, I was listening to an audiobook, and the author spoke about ideas. He noted that they are either good or bad, yet most folks only think about the good ones. I thought about this, as you can tell, and said to myself, okay, let’s write a post where the e-learning history and thus learning systems, authoring tools, and alike are intertwined with good and bad ideas.

Frontline Workers + Online Learning – Does it work?

eLearning 24-7

I don’t know about you, but I remember you from my first job. I was 16 years old. I was hired by a department chain (name not to be released because they are out of business now, and I can’t fully recall it). Rather than placing me into the music section, a dream for any 16-year-old, I was placed in automotive. It was a bad match. Not only because I had no idea about any of these products, nor because the smell was probably toxic, but because placing a 16-year-old into automotive is

When did employees and customers for learning/training become irrelevant?

Let me pose this scenario to you. You need to see your doctor. You have an appointment to see them. It’s been confirmed. You get there, you check in, and you pay any fees required. You sit down and wait. And wait. And wait. Finally, you are ready to be seen by your doctor. The desk person asks to see you. There is a slight problem.  Your doctor is not there today.

Home Built or Commercial for your Learning System

eLearning 24-7

There are two types of learning systems. I’m not talking about an LMS, LXP, combo, TDP, or EXP (drop the name on that), learning platform, or “We are not an LMS, and anyway, they are a dying breed” (I’ve written that is far from true). What I am referring to, is commercial or in-house. In-house is really popular, among many companies, academia (Moodle was originally designed for academia, and is heavily used there, still), organizations, associations, even 3rd party conte

Enterprise Learning Systems – How I love thee?

eLearning 24-7

Do you remember your first love? Your first true love? If you met them in high school and are still together, good for you, but that first true love is no more for the rest of us. Hence, it is first and not still. What was the first meeting like? Seeing them? Catching a glance? Chatting nonchalantly, acting as though you were just chilling when, in fact, you wanted a date?

AI in the Workplace – How Accurate R the Results?

eLearning 24-7

A funny thing happened on the way to using GPT-4 last week, which I suspect that the vendors who have implemented GPT-4 and are using it as a statement/Q and A to the learners were not paying attention to. Equally, my vibe says that companies and organizations that use Enterprise GPT (GPT-4) may have been unaware because the bug also hit there. The bug caused anyone who was asking questions or statements in GPT-4 to receive outputs of garbage, bizarre , and just downright weird.

Forecasts for 2024 – Learning Tech and Systems

I was curious to know who the first person was to say, “Happy New Year.” I reached out to GPT-4 and learned that nobody really knows (bummer), and that it was celebrated over 2,000 years ago, but nobody said that wordage, and that it was tied to the Gregorian calendar in the 16th century. Considering that 2,000 years ago, the Gregorian calendar didn’t exist, for all we know, New Year’s Day could have been March the 5th.
