We all want to learn more, upskill and develop our knowledge. But obstacles like daily work commitments and formal learning structures can get in the way. That’s where learner autonomy can be leveraged to support learners in self-directing their need for knowledge. It can be incorporated into your corporate learning strategy to motivate and engage your workforce.

Learning practitioners often focus solely on getting leadership support for learning. While necessary, what's often left out is what employees want and need. Stop taking for granted employees will unquestionably accept whatever their leaders expect. This is a recipe for a learning failure. This post was first published on eLearning Industry.

Compliance, and compliance training, are usually mandated by federal, state, or local laws and regulations.

There is, rightly, a lot of talk nowadays about “lifelong learning” and “continuous learning” but more often than not, articles focus on “lifelong education” or “continuous training”.

In preparing a couple of presentation for the Realities 360 conference coming up late this month, I got thinking about ARGs again. ARGs (alternate reality games) were going to be the thing, but some colleagues suggest that the costs were problematic. I still think that ARGs could be powerful learning experiences. And, of course, I understand that the overhead would make them useful only in particular situations.
