L&D Takes Center Stage. Organizations have always felt the importance of learning and training, but have rarely put them center-stage. That mindset is now changing as organizations have more access to rich data. With the increased ability to link learning back to the bottom-line, organizations are realizing that the ROI of training programs is on-par with, and often even higher than, traditional investments, such as new technology, plant upgrades, and other more “tangible” investments.

The Singularity is a term you’ll find in science and in science fiction. It was coined by mathematician John von Neumann to define a theoretical moment when the artificial intelligence of computers surpasses the capacity of the human brain. The term is borrowed from physics and quantum mechanics, where the term gravitational singularity is used in the study of black holes.

Because the two of them determine the success of your eLearning business in the long run: whether you will have a steady stream of customers waiting to get enrolled in your courses and whether the funding is used wisely.

What's not to like about Google Analytics. You can learn so much from dipping into the data about how the content we produce is used. As well as showing us where things can be improved, the data shines a light on missed opportunities, the greatest of which, is how few people are consuming learning content on smartphones.

Creating an online course is time consuming. Not only do you have to structure the content of the course for maximum impact but you also have to configure the technical components for delivering the course. Some people enjoy this process, others do not but they still see an opportunity in offering a course. If you fall into the latter camp then you probably have thought about outsourcing the development… but should you really outsource?

In real life, the correct answer is often not as simple as a yes or no. More often, it’s the series of small decisions we make each day that add up and play off of each other to make the big things happen. For instance, think about the way you behave when you want to be health-conscious. It doesn’t so much matter this time that you eat that break room doughnut, but if you make a habit of it, it will add up.

“Stories don’t work for all kinds of training.” One of the common objections I hear to using storytelling in training is that “stories don’t work for all kinds of training.” Those who are skeptical of storytelling often use software training as an example where stories don’t work. However, I think stories can have a place in some (maybe even most ) software training.
