In the learning space, lots of companies develop custom elearning with a vendor to get the job done. There's a reason why so many companies outsource custom elearning development work to third parties or freelancers rather than hiring a whole internal department to handle one-off projects or areas outside the core team’s specialty. And, in general, working with a vendor can be a great experience.

We’re all abuzz these days about interactive video. And for good reason. It is a great way to get learners to sit up straight and pay attention and on top of that, can enhance and improve a traditional eLearning experience, by = breaking up the monotony of clicking next through a series of slides. And it is, well, so much more interactive than a “static” video.

When we create courses we do so in hopes of not only teaching, but in providing people with new skills or knowledge that they can use in daily life. I don’t know about you, but whenever I take a course I am looking to get something practical out of it that I can use to better myself, my business, or my life. Unfortunately not all courses succeed at meeting this outcome.

This might seem like a huge question, but the purpose of L&D is behaviour change, so it’s worth getting to grips with it. In a world plagued by dull online learning, huge numbers of learners are disengaged. You can hardly expect a disengaged learner to change their ways if they don’t even enjoy their training!

Last week, the Department of Defense (DoD) signed the updated DoDI 1322.26 Distributed Learning (DL). The latest DoDI advises all entities within the DoD to procure eLearning technology solutions that are compliant with the SCORM or Experience API (xAPI) specifications. This Instruction replaces the 2006 version of DoDI 1322.26, “Development, Management, and Delivery of Distributed Learning,” which mandated (as opposed to advised) the use of SCORM in all eLearning technology used by the DoD.
