In the comments section of my previous post, Mike Caulfield kindly pointed me to the article Envisioning the Post-LMS Era: The Open Learning Network by Jonathan Mott. I was immediately interested because, like me, Mott is striving to bridge the gap between the organisation’s LMS and the learner’s PLE. Digging deeper.

There are two sides of the innovation coin in corporate learning & development: technology and pedagogy. Changing the concept of how we learn and redefining how we can help people do it better involve shifting the organisation’s culture, and that is a challenge greater than any IT implementation.

In corporate e-learning, the most obvious example of such content is the online modules that the company distributes via its Learning Management System. Handheld devices combined with the Internet, geolocation, and the likes of augmented reality make the learning experience engaging, timely and real.

While many of us had been offering online courses and other alternatives to in-person training for years, suddenly nothing could be run in a traditional classroom setting; and so as a collective we’ve been forced to shift learning and development online. Here are their responses… Taruna Goel (Canada). The next normal.

E-Learning was a focus topic of the fair this year (hence my presence), so I made a beeline to the “eLearning Joint Stand” I can report that the state of e-learning in both countries appears to be very similar. Among the recurring themes were: • Online course development. • Learning Management Systems.

I advocated the development of Informal Learning Environments (ILEs). The FLE might be called a VLE, MLE, LMS, or some other acronym. In my previous article Online courses must die! Since then, Steve Wheeler’s thought-provoking article Anatomy of a PLE has prompted me to extend my argument a little further.

I consider this an important point because as learning in the corporate sector becomes more informal, the employee’s motivation to drive their own development will become increasingly pivotal to their performance, and hence to the performance of the organisation as a whole. Open badges can credential in-house training.

While corporates are increasingly realising that classroom delivery is not necessarily the most effective pedagogy for employee development, neither is delivering the training in exactly the same way via a webinar or converting the PowerPoint slides into an online module. Flipping classrooms. Brand marketing.

To remedy the situation, I would like to share with you the 3 steps I took to create my learning object, and in doing so demonstrate the fact that just about anyone can do it. My caveat is that I am neither a multimedia developer nor a graphic designer – though my role often involves wearing those hats.

I prefer to see MOOCs through the lens of informal learning which values the learning over its bureaucracy. If a job applicant lists some MOOCs on their CV, I think it demonstrates an aptitude to drive their own development. I see the LMS then being used more for the assessment of learning. The moot point of MOOCs.

The proliferation of so-called rapid authoring tools over the last few years has coincided with an explosion in the number of online courses developed in-house. In the bad old days, technically challenged L&D professionals had to pay exorbitant fees to development houses to produce simple modules. This is where the LMS comes in.
