Would you notice if the sun didn’t come up tomorrow? Of course you would, because the sun comes up every day. You’re used to it. If it didn’t come up that would be breaking the pattern you’ve become accustomed to. There needs to be a pattern in order for a pattern to be broken and when a pattern is broken people take notice. This can be a real double edged sword, particularly in eLearning.

As elearning creators we understand the benefits of creating elearning for the learners of an organisation, business or even the public and I’ve noticed it can be easy for us to stop learning ourselves. Lately at work I’ve been going out of my comfort zone as a developer, by exploring more of what Captivate can really do. We still use version 8 at work right now and even after 2 years of using it every day, I’ve realised I have so much to learn still.

Are you moving towards blended learning with your modern instructional designs? Microlearning provides a viable approach for many training content pieces and learner support resources. On the surface, microlearning may not sound like a universally accessible option. “My topic’s too complicated to teach in five minutes!” you lament. And you’d be right – using microlearning effectively doesn’t equate to compressing a three-day, hands-on training program into one five-minute explainer video.

The call-to-action for L&D is to have staff capable of operating comfortably and effectively in the domain of the Point-of-Work exclusive of being a SMEOEDT…SME of Every Damn Thing. This mission… should you choose to accept it…is to seek out individuals possessing the expertise of a performance consultant. Find one or develop one. Methinks having one in the mix is no longer an option if the L&D function has a prayer of breaking free of the limiting blinders of the traditional Training Pa

by Jennie Ruby, COTP. Years ago, as a new classroom instructor, I used to wonder why some of my colleagues used brainstorming techniques in the classroom. After all, as the instructor, I knew the content I wanted to see brought forward, and the students were there to learn from me, right? So why would I ask the students to brainstorm? Why shouldn’t I just list the important items on the whiteboard or on a bulleted slide and be done?

In the event your brain immediately visualized training courses or learning events residing on your LMS…we have a potential disconnect here because “Training” in any form represents only the 10% in the 70:20:10 framework, and to make that even uglier, the 10% falls into the +/-5% of our 2,000 hour work year that Bersin’s research says we get each year in the form of formal learning.

I’m a fan of the power of social learning. When people get together (and the process is managed right), the outcomes of a negotiated understanding can be powerful. However, in designing learning, working in groups has some real negative perceptions and realities. The open question is: what to do? The problems are well-known. As my kids complained, on group projects some team members will reliably slack, letting the most driven student do the work.

This weekend we celebrate Memorial Day in the U.S. Originally, this was a rather somber holiday, created to honor the dead on both sides during our horrific civil war. As we continued to collect more wars in our history, the holiday expanded to cover all of our fallen heroes. Being a day in early Spring in many parts of our country, the day was originally marked by decorating the graves of loved ones who had died in battles or served in the military.
