Managing a team is tough. It’s even tougher when one of your employees is based in London, your office is in Santa Fe, and Skype just froze on your group video chat for the hundredth time. Telecommuting for work climbed to a whopping 37% in 2015. As remote teams become more common, managers are challenged by the logistics of providing effective training to staff based all over the world.

A number of years ago, I wrote a paper about design, some of the barriers our cognitive architecture provides, and some heuristics I used to get around them. I wrote a summary of the paper as four posts, starting here. I was reminded of one of the heuristics in a conversation, and had a slightly deeper realization that of course I wanted to share.

As an administrator of a learning management system it is important that you incorporate elements of self-service into your platform. Sure, it will make life easier for you. But more importantly it makes life easy for those interacting within the LMS. Year ago this was not necessarily a deal-breaker for organizations when choosing their learning management systems.

Teaching someone how to do something in person is one thing, but online learning is an entirely different animal. As a Creative Technologist, my role is, well, to use technology creatively, primarily within E-learning development.

Without managers being fully invested in training, there is no chance it will have an effect on people. Just as with everything else in an organization, training relies on its importance being exemplified by leaders. That means leaders should not dictate employees take training, but rather be an example of how it’s important. If a leader sees no value in training to the point of avoiding taking it, then it’s not important.

It’s not uncommon for workers to have to go through some sort of orientation course when they start employment at a new job. In my past experience, I and my fellow cohorts would be placed in a room on Day 1 where we would spend our entire time learning about the company, who is who, and where to go for what. As I look back on this, I can’t help but think this would be better done with eLearning!

I think the title of this post – 6 Things I Learned at Dog Training – might be a bit misleading. Most people reading that title would understandably interpret the title as things that I learned while I was attending a training class for my dog. That’s not the case. You see, I recently had to say goodbye to my good friend Lucas. Lucas had been a member of our family for almost 17 years.

“I’m not qualified for this job.” “I didn’t major in business in school.” “I feel like a fraud.” “There’s someone else who could do this job better than I can.”. Have you ever had any of these self-negating thoughts? More than likely, at one point or another in your life, you’ve experienced what psychologists label “imposter syndrome.” Put simply, imposter syndrome is the tendency to discount your own successes and doubt your abilities.

As a woman I often find myself in front of a clothes-full closet with a pout on my face, sighing, because I have nothing to wear. This isn't because I don't know what I want, but because I know exactly what I don't want. And as full as my closet usually is, sometimes it only has things that I don't want to wear. So I go shopping. But this isn't a post about shopping.
