This blog post covers a recent online conversation I had with an attendee at one of our eLearning Design Essentials workshops. I thought it might be useful to share our conversation with some of you. How do I convert a large training manual into a short eLearning module? One of the ways we achieve this is through ‘chunking’. Chunking refers to the strategy of breaking down information into bite-sized pieces so that human brain can easily digest the new information.

Leadership: Nurture vs Nature. Natural leaders are hard to come by. At least that’s the common perception. We don’t see it that way. Leadership like other skills is affected by natural ability, but that natural ability must be nurtured and developed. Every once in great while, a musical prodigy will be born with the raw talent to re-write our understanding of sound without formal education.

Why did people assume an Asian woman in the BBC news video was the nanny? . By now, most of the Internet seems to have seen the video of a BBC interview being interrupted by two small children. International Relations Professor Robert Kelly’s interview about South Korea was briefly interrupted when his two small children walked in. He managed to keep his composure until a woman rushed in and ushered the two young intruders out. . . .

In a recent conversation, a colleague asked, “Once you and your client have agreed on a branching scenario approach, how do you get started writing it? How do you get from the broad concept of training on X topic to actually creating the scenario?” The short answer is to “begin with the end in mind.” Let me walk you through the process of analysis and preparation I do before writing a scenario.

Scientists, economists, accountants, and mathematicians all have one thing in common: they all deal in “absolutes.” They follow rules, theories, or laws governing the objectives they espouse, and they measure the outcomes of their efforts against those objectives. Instructional designers are guided by these same types of parameters when ensuring their courses meet specific learning objectives.

Video games have always been and still are something that I love playing. The movement and design of objects are very captivating and keep me entertained for hours on end. That is why many developers and presenters put serious time into the graphical representation of their message. This approach is most often applied to quizzes (whether SCORM compliant or not).

I’m going a bit out on a limb here, with a somewhat heretical statement: what you learn is more important than how you learn ! (You could say pedagogy supersedes curricula, but that’s just being pedantic. ;) And I’m pushing the boundaries of the concept a bit, but I think it’s worth floating as an idea. It’s meta-learning, of course, learning how to learn!

Networking is not a new concept. It used to mean the power lunch, golfing with colleagues, or drinks after work. Then came the growth of associations, conferences, and trade shows. And now networking has changed dramatically with online resources like LinkedIn and Facebook. “Networking” used to be a buzzword; today it’s almost cliché. Often the connotation can be a bit negative, associated with sales or job searching.
