Share. Tweet. Pin It. One of the buzz words at DevLearn 2011 was ‘mLearning’ (mobile learning). Clearly there is a demand for people to be able to learn ‘on the go’.

Here is a great TED Video that clearly details the ways that video games engage us, transfix us and compel us to action. Tom Chatfield also describes how video games are data collection machines and they are constantly collecting data on players. Imagine what a learner professional can do with all those data points in terms of improving learning and promoting behavioral change.

I like this quote by the Swedish author Henning Mankell that appeared in a Sunday New York Times op-ed column titled “ The Art of Listening ”: “. Many people make the mistake of confusing information with knowledge. They are not the same thing. Knowledge involves the interpretation of information. Knowledge involves listening. We are awash with data and information.

One of the concepts in training that has taken the biggest strides this year has been that of the “flipped classroom.” My colleague Jon Matejcek first covered it back in March in his article “ Online Academy Helps to Keep Lectures Where They Belong: Out of the Classroom.” Essentially, the idea is to upend the traditional teaching model of classroom lecture followed by personal practice at home.

by Kevin Siegel I received an SOS from a fellow Captivate developer who was having a hate-hate relationship with the mouse click sounds he was hearing in his Adobe Captivate demonstration. He told me he had spent over an hour trying to figure out how to disable the mouse-click sound, project-wide. Project-wide? Heck, he was so frustrated at this point that he was willing to disable the mouse click sound, one mouse pointer at a time. The solution is actually quite simple, and

“What kind of leader do I want to be?” This is the question that leadership expert Meg Wheatley asks us to ask ourselves. She talks about the tendency of leaders in challenging economic times to resort to a command-and-control style of leadership, even though this is not what is best for the organization. In an interview Art Kleiner did with her for strategy+business , she said: In most companies, we do not have (and I believe won’t have for the foreseeable future) the money to fund the work tha

There are lots and lots of Learning Management Systems (LMS) on the market. From my observation, I have categorised LMS based on the business motivation to create and offer them to the market: LMS that are part of a larger ERP system (e.g. SAP). These LMS appear almost an afterthought, an ‘add on’ to the massive database that ERP systems create.
