The quality of course content is critical to the success of Learning and Development programs. Effective content will keep learners engaged, support successful outcomes, and help your team to reach its goals. The best way to deliver that content will depend on what you want to achieve and the resources you can draw on. In general, you’ll choose from two main options: Creating content in-house or outsourcing content development to external experts.

A major complaint among those who prefer Instructor led training (ILT) to eLearning is that eLearning is not social. They claim the lack of social interaction, both with the instructor and other learners, limits the effectiveness of the training. Many will cite the Hawthorne effect , explaining that through observation the learners will modify or improve their performance.

Any course you create needs to have solid content. In fact, content is the critical component to the success of any course. This is especially true if you are selling your courses. But in addition to content you also need to pay close attention to the experience you provide. Slapping some videos and text together and protecting access to those materials won’t make the course too enjoyable.

It’s a continual bane of a consultant’s existence that there are people who want to ‘pick your brain’ It’s really asking for free consulting, and as such, it’s insulting. If you google the phrase, you’ll see how many people have indicated their problems with this! However, there are quite legitimate ways to pick my brain and I thought I’d mention a couple.

In training and development, content is important. But finding (or creating) quality content is only the first step in the process of building a training library. Content curation (including content vetting) is just as crucial—and worth investing in. Although many people talk about curation, few have come out and explicitly outlined what content curation is in a training context.

Having been in L&D for many years in virtually every role from road warrior sales trainer to multiple leadership positions, I have been an advocate of the premise that Training Drives Performance. And why not, it’s promoted in both scope and charter of the typical L&D mission? After drinking the Kool-Aid of a Performance Paradigm about ten years ago, I have become more convinced than ever that Training Does NOT Drive Performance – It Drives Potential.

Many companies are expanding and entering global markets and this has paved the way for a rising need in translations. Your global employees may be non-English speakers and prefer learning in their native languages; it may be therefore beneficial for an organization to have their e-learning courses translated into multiple languages based on the target audience.

It all started with Dan Lyons. In his New York Times opinion piece “Congratulations! You’ve Been Fired,” Lyons described a trend in startups in which employees are treated as disposable and fired without cause. As a baby boomer who has worked in only three organizations over the last 30 years, I found his editorial disheartening, to say the least. I then picked up Lyons’ book, “Disrupted: My Misadventure in the Startup Bubble,” which further recounts his experiences in the tech industry.

Successful eLearning outcomes require clear communication between instructional designers and the learners themselves. Providing relevant and timely feedback to students as they’re in the process of learning is a critical component of ensuring that students actually remember the lessons. Or, as George Bernard Shaw once famously said: “The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.”.
