Last week, an ID asked me about my writing process. Specifically, she wanted to know how I get from content like a SME “brain dump” to a finalized storyboard that’s ready for elearning development. Prior to our call, she had reviewed a number of other resources and books. Most sources she found sort of jump from “you meet with the SME and gather information” to “you write the storyboard” without explaining the thought process.

In today’s fast-paced business environment, the competitive landscape changes rapidly. Products, services, and value-adds that were in vogue just a few years (or months!) ago might not see much demand a few months from today. Keeping up with this highly competitive and evolving landscape requires newer skills and capabilities. The quicker you can equip a workforce with those skills, the more likely a business will survive and thrive over its competitors.

We’ve all been there. You’ve been given a pile of dry content and asked to create a compelling eLearning course. You’re determined to create something more engaging than the same old course that learners quickly click through, but how do you take this “boring” content and create something relevant and engaging? Many instructional designers will say, “Boring in means boring out.

There’s a new kid on the block that everyone’s talking about… ChatGPT , the AI that needs no introduction! Well, ChatGPT is not new anymore, since it’s been around for a while, but the uptake is quite high with people asking whether it’s going to replace a human creative person, and I thought I should jump in with my two cents.

It’s an online course creator’s worst fear. Spending countless nights working on the most valuable content possible, only to have no one sign up for your course. Your potential students don’t receive the education they need to get to that next level, and you don’t get rewarded for all your hard work. A lose-lose for everybody.

What makes a great eLearning strategy? There’s no simple blueprint guaranteed to work; but there are recurring themes. The reality of L&D programs is that training needs to be repeatable, scalable, and uphold learning standards. Simultaneously, programs are often more engaging when personalized to the learner. Striking a balance between these demands can be a challenge.

“Write with a specific person in mind” has always been good advice for authors. But this doesn’t apply to just writing. It extends to all creative work, whether you’re directing a movie, setting up a business, selling a product, or creating a course.

Pop quiz: How much is effective onboarding worth? It’s a hard question, and it depends on how you define ‘value.’ But no matter how you crunch the numbers, an effective onboarding process is probably worth a lot more than you think.

For long, organizations outsourced services expecting to reap the benefits of decentralization—namely, speed, agility, and cost-efficiencies. However, many pure outsourced operations risk devolving into siloed functions with opaque vendor governance and inefficient administration. Before the sourcing organization knows it, their L&D is beyond their control.

They were referring to the induction program they’d had to ‘sit through’ in all previous organizations. Distressing as it was to hear, it gave me pause.
