Where I Get Blog Post Ideas

Experiencing eLearning

When I talk to people about starting a blog, they often state they don’t have anything to write about. They ask how I come up with ideas, especially when I’ve been blogging so long. As I approach my ninth anniversary of starting this blog, I feel like I have more to write about than I did after one year. I get stuck on writing sometimes, just like everyone else, but I’ve figured out ways to work through those blocks.

What It Costs to Replace an Employee

TOPYX LMS

It’s scary how high rates of employee turnover are climbing for many companies. In October of 2015, there were 4.9 million layoffs, quits and discharges in the United States alone. When you consider the amount of money it costs to hire someone, this figure becomes even more intimidating. Onboarding employees is by no means a small expense. On average, it costs a company about $4,000 to hire a new worker.

Modern Design: Clean and Simple

The Logical Blog by IconLogic

by Jennie Ruby    Right now design is all the rage. Companies are promoting designers to the CEO level (design-e-o's?), incorporating design at the highest levels, prioritizing design, paying designers the big bucks, and generally going on a design spree. I'm all for it in many ways. Apple products that show the pinnacle of this kind of thinking are great--the iPhone is designed to "know" whether you are holding it up to your ear or have brought it down to look at t

Working and learning out loud

Clark Quinn

I’ve been thinking about some of the talk around the Future of Work, and in addition to the free flow of information I recently posted about from the Coherent Organization, I think working out loud is another component. Inspired by a post from my colleague Harold Jarche, this is how I see it, in actionable terms. (And I expect this is also part of Jane Bozarth’s Show Your Work , but I’ve yet to get my mitts on a copy, mea culpa.).

5 Essential Questions to Ask About Company Culture

OpenSesame

How do you define company culture? Every company, no matter its size, number of employees, industry, or location, has a culture. As William Craig explains in an article for the Forbes blog , company culture isn’t something employees bring with them. Rather, it’s “something that is pre-existing in your company’s genetic code.” Yet, even with Craig’s description, company culture can be hard to grasp.

The imitation game

Learning with e's

In my kitchen, my devices 'talk' to me. My American fridge lets me know if I have left the door open too long (which is often), and my microwave tells me if I have heated something up and then forgotten to remove it. I can communicate with my central heating wherever I am in the world via my phone. Siri and Cortana talk to us through our mobile phones (but don't let them speak to each other - if they do, all you get is nonsense ), and many people now also have conversations with their in-car Sat

Hey LMS Santa!

eLearning 24-7

I remember the days when Santa would come to my house. We’d leave some carrots for his reindeer, cookies for him (always fresh made by Mom) and milk. Why milk and not booze? . Good question. . I guess Santa enjoyed the refreshing taste of milk. Which reminds me, why not chocolate milk? It was always white milk. I demand an investigation. If Santa is on the way to your home to deliver his gifts and drink out of your bar, err, have milk, then there is no better time to ask him the follow

Holiday Report: Wearable Tecnhology in eLearning

Mindflash

Wearable technology has been big news in recent years, however it isn’t a completely fresh concept with some early pieces like the calculator watch dating back to the 70s! This was just the start of a technological evolution that combines technology with functionality. Although this was a genius concept and the start of what is now a huge market, the difference with wearable technology back in the 70s compared to now is that it’s not just about advance technology or great functionality, it’s abo
