When designing learning for virtual classrooms or a blended learning program, one of your primary missions is to capture and maintain the attention of your learners.

The first few months of every year we’re bombarded with awards for this and awards for that. Some lucky people even get to put on their best evening wear and attend fancy gala evening dinners. The glitz and the glamour that surrounds the ceremony itself and, of course, the fanfare associated with winning. But to be honest - be it the Oscars or the Learning Technology Awards - it’s only that bit that most of us see.

When we talk about “brands” and “branding” we usually think about logos, colors, websites, and fonts. These are critical aspects, and a clever logo paired with the right colors is an excellent start, but I’d like to take that thinking a step further. The true purpose of a brand is to cultivate an idea. An idea that your customers can easily relate to and equates to a sense of trust that your company’s product is the solution they desire.
