If you're one of the fortunate people from your organization to attend a professional conference, how can you bring it back to the workplace so everyone can benefit? During sessions, keynotes, hallway conversations and after-hours discussions, many great ideas are tossed around. | JOITSKE HULSEBOSCH ELEARNING FEBRUARY 5, 2012  Brain science meets social media Brain learning is currently a hot topic in the Netherlands amongst learning professionals. read the book Brein@work van Ria van Dinteren en Nina Lazeron. They interviewed various scientists and are translating new insights from brain science into practical consequences for organising effective learning situations. An example: sleep is very important for processing new information and new stimuli. | CLIVE ON LEARNING FEBRUARY 5, 2012 Market failure? Blame it on the dog food I'm continuing to try and make sense of why it is that most professionally-produced e-learning content is so strong on production values, especially in terms of graphic design, yet so superficial when it comes to learning design (see Over-engineered for information transfer, under-engineered for learning and Striking the right balance with learning ). But hold on, because I think I've figured it out. Let's make a comparison. Production values may attract initial purchasers, but if a game fails to engage as a game, then the word will soon get round and the product will bomb. Another example. | | | | | | | |

 When learning is the work …
Tweet What if your organization got rid of the Learning & Development function? What would the average manager or department head do? What would workers do? I’ve been thinking about this for a while. When work is learning, and learning is the work, training that is pushed from outside has less relevance. The L&D department is supposed to ensure that training is appropriate for the job, but with jobs constantly morphing into something else, a major disconnect is developing between the doers and the trainers. Observe how people are learning to do their work already. MORE >> -
LEARNFOREVER | SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2012  Case study, part two
In 1998, it looked as if Pearson had established a launch pad for a new management education business that could compete with, even outstrip, the university business schools. Within five years, that management education business no longer existed. What went wrong? First, brand value was destroyed. Within two years, all of the acquired brands were dropped, and although their replacement, Financial Times Management, was strong, there was no coherent strategy for transferring customer loyalties from the old brands to the new. Then things started to spiral out of control. MORE >> -
ELEARNING NOT AS USUAL | SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2012  How does iBooks change the future of corporate learning?
You've heard me call the iPad a game changer for elearning. And I've talked about the post PC era that the iPad has created. Now Apple has released the new iBook app, aimed at K-12 and post secondary education. How does that effect the future of corporate learning? And notice that I've dropped the "e" from e-learning. The "e"could be considered fairly redundant by now. The Apple video above is well worth watching. If you haven't seen it yet, it will set your mind spinning with future possibilities. To be sure, iBooks isn't yet poised to take over corporate learning. MORE >> -
LEARNING CONVERSATIONS | SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2012 Click here for usability advice
When you take exams, you're told to carefully read every question, and particularly the rubric at the beginning of the exam, which explains how the exam is going to work. Even then, people don't read the questions properly. When you're working on a screen it's even worse. According to people like Jacob Neilsen , most people really don't read what's in front of them. Instead they scan, picking out individual words and sentences. As well as headings and bullets, users expect to be able to scan for links, and to be able to know quickly where those links will take them. Original post. Technology MORE >> -
