Despite my obvious predilection for e-learning, I am actually a fan of the traditional classroom. Readers of this blog will be familiar with my obsession passion for informal learning environments , but in this instance I’m not referring to the constructivist approach. It’s so simple: record your class on video.

What is blended learning? Most of us, though, say that blended learning is a mix of modes of delivery. In this age of technological nirvana, I think it’s important to recognise the two different faces of blended learning: 1. Playing a video clip in class to illustrate a real-life scenario. The complementary face.

All big organisations have a Learning Management System. There has to be a better way, and as I explain in the video below, I propose the accreditation of compliance training with open badges as the solution. It’s used to track and record the training that the employees do. And this is a good thing.

I think no better example of our evolution is a little video clip that we produced to combat the aforementioned spectre of the ineffective meeting. With this in mind, I can see why CJ’s favourite Air New Zealand safety videos work so well. CJ goes one step further by being hilarious. It works because it’s true.

And by “studying”, I mean we are watching the videos – which are excellent, by the way. My wife is a marketing professional, while I’ve been in the corporate sector for most of my working life, so we find ourselves regularly pausing the videos and launching into conversation about what was said.

360° videos. Whereas Gear VR has the wood over Cardboard in relation to 360° photos, I maintain the reverse is true in relation to 360° videos. On YouTube, all you need to do is click the little goggles icon in a 360° video to render it Cardboard compatible. Uber annoying!! Implications for business.

The L&D community may be divided into two camps: (1) Those for whom the mere mention of learning styles makes their blood boil; and (2) Those who are inexplicably unaware of the hullabaloo and are thus oblivious to the aforementioned boiling of blood. And I fear it may be an unintended casualty of the war on learning styles.

When we worry about the status of their credentials or lose sleep over their completion rates, we’re perpetuating an out-dated paradigm of education based on formal learning. I prefer to see MOOCs through the lens of informal learning which values the learning over its bureaucracy. I see more scope in pull learning.
