'Gamification is found in many contexts these days, but none more prevalent than in the K-12 education environment.

'On Tuesday, with a big presentation, the American Society for Training & Development announced a rebranding. The new name is the Association for Talent Development, going from ASTD to ATD. And while this is a necessary move, I think it wasn’t the best change they could’ve made. ASTD needed the change, for two reasons. For one, ASTD has membership in, and runs events, around the world.

'The quality of an instructional design is often gauged on three things: effectiveness, efficiency, and cost. Effectiveness has to do with how well the instruction enables learners to achieve stated goals or expected outcomes.

'The American Society for Training and Development has ceased to exist. Now it’s the Association for Talent Development. I have mixed feelings about this. Tony Bingham announces name change in Washington, May 6, 2014. This is hardly the first time this professional association has taken on a new name. In 1947, it came to life as the American Society of Training Directors.
