In your opinion, what purpose does a learning management system (LMS) serve? If you’re like most people, your answer will be something along the lines of, “To facilitate training.” This is absolutely correct. An eLearning system certainly provides companies with accessible and affordable training options. But, beyond this, an LMS has numerous functions that help businesses operate at optimum capacities.

In conversation at EduTECH earlier this year, Harold Jarche evoked George E. P. Box’s quote that “all models are wrong, but some are useful”. Of course, the purpose of a model is to simplify a complex system so that something purposeful can be done within it. By definition, then, the model can only ever be an approximation of reality; by human error, furthermore, it won’t be as approximate as it could be.

Corporate L&D has evolved over the past 60 years with one recurring question: how to capture and demonstrate the added value and performance of L&D. Both desk research and recent interviews with 50+ CLOs underline that even today, many of the biggest corporate learning functions struggle to show their added value. Many believe that the ROI is not always the best and ultimate solution to show the added value of contemporary L&D.

When you’re busy creating courses and cranking out eLearning content, it’s easy to forget the “why” behind the “what” you’re creating. Without a solid strategy to fall back on, designers can lose sight of the strategy for how their content supports learners and the organization. At the same time, I’ve seen eLearning teams lose sight of making progress when they get bogged down by trying to develop a detailed, fail-proof strategy.

David Ausubel, a noted American psychologist who specialized in education and learning behaviors, introduced the Subsumption Theory back in 1963. It centers on the idea that learners can more effectively acquire new knowledge if it is tied to their existing knowledge base, and that only unique information that stands out within the lesson is committed to memory.
