They’re not learners, they’re people

Nick Leffler

'They’re not learners, they’re people. I don’t know if this has any value in stating but it’s something that’s been rolling around in my head for a while. I often hear people referred to as learners, or “my learners” when talking about the audience. It seems odd to me to refer to people in a way that assumes the action that they will get from your creation.

Are You Missing an Impactful Conclusion Page?

eLearning Brothers

'I truly believe that one of the most overlooked and neglected pages in online trainings are conclusion pages. I actually feel sorry for them. As the last page of the course, the conclusion page has the opportunity to leave a final impression. But sadly, we are often so glad to reach that final page that we rush through its content. With a lack of creativity, we often place on this potentially impactful page a copy/paste of the course objectives or the standard “template” one-size fits all text.
