Instructional Designer’s Guide to New Year’s Resolutions

Association eLearning

We’re nearing “New Year’s Resolution” time again. That got me thinking about the pass/fail rate of this annual ritual. How many people stick to their resolutions? Let’s be honest, it’s not very many. Since motivation and behavior change are part of instructional design, I thought it would be fun to take a look at where people go wrong and how you can increase your chance of success.

Happy Holidays from Axonify!

Axonify

I just love this time of year. The spicy cider, the carols, and more cookies than you could possibly eat (though we here at Axonify have been trying!). I’m not quite as excited about the snow—we’ve had what seems like several feet dumped on us up here in our neck of the woods—but it does add a nice touch to the landscape. The best part is looking back at what’s been accomplished in the past year.

Employee Experience

One of the recent trends has been about ‘customer experience’, focusing the organization on a consistent and coherent customer experience from first exposure through to ongoing product or service use.

21rst Century Organizations Need a Learning Culture

The Performance Improvement Blog

Most companies today have a “training culture”. ATD’s 2016 State of the Industry report concludes: …the traditional, instructor-led, face-to-face classroom continues to play a crucial role, and it was still the delivery mechanism for 51 percent of learning hours used in 2015. The percentage would be considerably higher if the ATD study had included all push training , such as elearning programs and attendance at conferences.

Creating Accessible eLearning with Articulate Storyline 360

The Eyes Have It – How the Brain Uses Our Eyes to See the World

Learningtogo

I was going to begin this post with the common saying, “The eyes are the windows of the soul,” but I couldn’t find the originator of the line to give him or her credit. It turns out that human beings have been saying variations of this truism almost as long as we have been putting things down in writing, and probably long before then as well. So I got to thinking about the ubiquitous nature of this saying.
