Humans need humans and never more than when we are learning. As we move from a situation in which most learning is face-to-face to one in which we make use of digital content and perhaps even AI as the vehicle for a learning experience, we don't need to give up on our humanity.

Micro-learning can justifiably be accused of being the latest digital learning bandwagon, here today, gone tomorrow. Real cynics might regard it as just another way of re-branding self-study e-learning, a medium which has spent too long in the compliance ghetto and has suffered in terms of popularity as a result.

You''ll find it useful for any visual work you do, whether that''s graphics, video, presentation slides or e-learning design! Which made me think that learning experiences require composition too; in other words, the right balance between contrasting elements. A lot of highly-skilled work has been put into the design of this tutorial.

E-learning', by which we mean interactive, self-paced instruction, has had a role in workplace learning, under one name or another, for about 40 years. In this video, Clive Shepherd asks whether e-learning has delivered on its promise - how efficient is it, how effective, how popular and how commercially successful?

After ' Why is e-learning so unpopular? ’ and ' Will e-learning put me out of a job? ', my focus today is on another question that I am frequently asked by l&d people: ‘Is e-learning effective?’ In both of these cases, e-learning is providing something different from what we had before.

While cynics may say that the shifts in nomenclature from ‘training’ to ‘learning’ to ‘talent management’ to ‘performance consulting’ make no real difference to the realities of what people do on the ground, I’m not so sure.

For practically thirty years now, the default corporate solution for any sort of formal, self-directed learning intervention has been self-study e-learning, specifically some form of interactive tutorial. The learner is isolated from peers, experts and others who can assist their learning.

I hate to say it, after so many years of trying to reverse the trend, but it seems that far too many people (finance directors excepted) really dislike e-learning. First let me be clear, I am using a narrow definition of e-learning here. People don''t dislike all e-learning.

You dont know for certain whether your design will work in meeting the underlying learning need. Contrast that with typical self-study e-learning. I once asked the CEO of a major e-learning company how much of their work was maintenance of existing content, thinking that this would be a substantial revenue earner.

Learning is a very human experience. To learn successfully, it requires us as human beings to exchange information, give and receive feedback, share perspectives, engage together in practical activities, support each other through the bad times and get together to celebrate our successes. People need people.

There is no doubt whatsoever in my mind that historically we have underplayed the importance of informal learning, whether that's experiential, on-demand or social.

The first is: Why is e-learning so unpopular? What type of e-learning are you talking about? Well, clearly there are lots of success stories with e-learning and not all because of huge cost savings. Is it because it only works for people with some learning styles? It’s just as likely to be phrased as ‘I don’t like it’.

In a learning context, video provides a compelling means for conveying content, particularly real-life action and interactions with people.

The study showed clearly what a hole we have got ourselves into with e-learning compliance training. However, I like a challenge, so, it falls to me to put my reputation on the line by suggesting how I would approach a request for compliance e-learning. So what would I do? An element of gamification here might add something.
