I'm on the flight back from ASTD TechKnowledge and thought I should try to capture some initial thoughts from the conference and sessions while it was still fresh and before life clouds my memory. I'm going to do a similar presentation in June at ASTD ICE in San Diego. Worried about quality. That was a big challenge.

In fact, it’s difficult sometimes to separate the quality of the overall eLearning program from individual course efforts. Some organizations have purposely created varying levels of course quality in order to accommodate stakeholders who desire rapid delivery, versus those that want more immersive interactivity within their courses.

I was asked during my recent ASTD Webcast whether there’s data to show that managers, who are more involved in training and learning, ultimately receive more rewards and recognition than those who aren''t. They identified eight qualities that are now used to develop new managers and coach the lowest performing managers.

But it all falls apart if the audio quality in your course is not very good. Invest in a good quality microphone. A good mic is going to give you good audio quality.

Leaders need tools (See: ASTD Workforce Development Blog ). The problem is that usually they are owned by HR, or Training, or Quality Control, or some other department and are not used for learning and change by management. People who need permission to be open and honest, have it; the structured process gives them that permission.
