One of the biggest challenges faced by e-learning developers the world over, is being able to efficiently and effectively develop learning for multiple devices and platforms. In the golden age of e-learning development, it was always a bit ‘hit and miss’ as to how your module would look across multiple platforms. How your module would look on a desktop was the known factor, because that is what most people used to access it.

Over the years technology has been changing the way we live, communicate, educate and learn. Smartphones, laptops, social networks, unlimited access to the Internet, immediacy of information. Technology has become such a significant part of our everyday lives that we stopped noticing it. But are these changes for the good or bad? Have we become less creative and able to think deeply?

By Ethan Edwards, Chief Instructional Strategist/ @ethanaedwards. We often talk about the importance of motivation in e-learning instructional design. In fact, we’ve even said that motivation is often more important than the specific content when seeking to maximize the impact of instruction—particularly in e-learning, where relatively few social or external environmental factors are likely to inspire learners.

by Kevin Siege, COTP , CTT+        One huge challenge eLearning developers face when creating course content is engaging the learner, even if the subject matter is a bit dry. One technique we preach in our classes is creating  PowerPoint slides that employ iconography over standard bullets and text. Of course, visuals can only get you so far which is why I love the ability to quickly add interactive objects, even games, via Captivate's Learning Interactions.

November 9 is Carl Sagan’s birthday. Astronomer, physicist and science interpreter for the world, he created the first Cosmos series and inspired a generation to wonder about the cosmos inside and outside of our bodies. He was sometimes criticized by his colleagues for appearing on late night TV, writing books that the average person could understand and telling us that there are “ billions and billions ” of stars that might have life-supporting planets.

New leaders often put the third question first, Power said, spending a lot of time on tactics when purpose and identity should be the priority. For the past five years, Power has worked for the National Association of Independent Schools, mentoring new school leaders during a weeklong summer institute.

“Modern corporate learners” are an enigma. They want to learn but abhor classroom training. They crave deep learning experiences but do not want to sit for too long to “study.” This gives headaches to many L&D professionals. They have a hard time figuring out how to connect with their “enigmatic” audiences and make them pay heed to their messages.

We have gone from big-as-a-house mainframes with slow-as-molasses magnetic tape storage to pizza-box sized servers with crazy fast SSDs, in the span of four decades. The next evolution — which is already here — does not concern servers smaller than pizza boxes, but rather no boxes at all.

When someone mentions scenario-based learning, do you automatically think of complex branching scenarios? While that’s one way to implement scenarios (and a very effective one!), I don’t think it’s the only option. A range of options are available, from passive to active. Even if you can’t convince your organization to invest in full-blown branching, you can find less intensive alternatives to incorporate scenarios and storytelling.

American financier and oilman Henry L Doherty said this of learning: “Get over the idea that only children should spend their time in study. Be a student so long as you still have something to learn, and this will mean all your life.” He was a wise man, and it’s perhaps this earnestness to learn that made his company, CITGO, a successful 4,000-employee strong, US$ 801 million (2008) company.
