Did you realize the traditional classroom-based approach is fast losing its significance due to the use of LMS in education? Using Learning Management Systems in education offers a smart alternative to schools and educations in such a scenario and allows instructors to deliver customized content, leverage various pedagogical models, and engage their students much better than previously possible.

Most professional training has incorporated at least some virtual live instruction in the last three years – and a lot of lessons (good and bad) were learned by facilitators learning the virtual ropes. In our experience, the virtual classroom producer (also known as a virtual classroom ‘host’) is a key element in ensuring instructional success.

Colors play an important role in the success of eLearning. They can evoke emotions, stimulate interest, and help organize information. To ensure that learners stay engaged and have a positive experience with your online course, it is important to choose the right colors. There are several top colors that work best for eLearning. These include blue, green, yellow and orange.

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.

Betty Dannewitz, host of the If You Ask Betty Podcast , is currently sharing a series of three episodes about Encanto and learning. I was part of the discussion for episode two: Let’s Talk About Bruno. Betty asked Destery Hildenbrand, Eamonn Powers, Jonathan Hill, and me to talk about Bruno as a metaphor for learning. We had a lively conversation for about an hour about Bruno, Abuela, the Encanto movie, storytelling, and how it relates to learning and development.

If you’re using LearnDash to add courses and lessons to your WordPress site, then you know that organizing and displaying learning resources is essential. Most courses need extra resources to boost students’ learning, such as course handbook or other downloadable materials. It’s easy enough to manually list a few links within a course or lesson.

Has our conference attendance rate returned to pre-pandemic levels? I’m not sure. I attended several last year, and while there seemed to be plenty of attendees at each one, most combined L&D with HR to bump up the numbers. Which is fine, given they’re allied professions, so long as the content pitched to the latter doesn’t squeeze out the value sought by the former.

One of the aspects of working life that has changed dramatically in the last several decades is the path to career success. Good careers were once defined by earning increasing compensation, achieving successive promotions, accruing long tenure in an organization, and being awarded a lovely parting gift on retirement. These days, a successful career is defined differently, and it’s often idiosyncratic.

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.

In my recent webinar for the Learning Guild , someone asked if it’s better to write in second or third person perspective for scenarios. I have written scenarios from both perspectives, and I think both have advantages and disadvantages for different situations. Second person (you) Second person perspective means writing the scenario so “you” are doing the action and making the decisions.

We all have a pedant inside of us. While we ourselves may not find the most suitable words to use on every occasion, we take pleasure in pointing out the nitty-gritty of mistakes made by someone else. At least, that’s very true of me. And as I’m writing this, I can almost hear the collective groan from my family as I pointed out the 23 mistakes in a written recipe that was shared in our WhatsApp group.

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.

Why L&D Needs To Ensure the Virtual Delivery Team is Fully Skilled & Competent. The Virtual Facilitator is often seen as the ‘face’ of the virtual instructional team. They’re the person out in front, working with the learners, teaching the content. But why do we call them facilitators, rather than teachers, trainers or something else? The word facilitator, according to the Oxford English Dictionary means “a person or thing that makes an action or process easy or easier”.

Before I started writing this post, the marketing team threw out the idea that I could start the post with a quote or two from Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure (as you may have predicted after seeing the title). I’ve been scouring the Internet Movie Database’s quotes listing, and I actually found a few relevant snippets. “Be excellent to each other” is usually a good choice, but it’s already one of Rustici’s mottos, so that feels like a bit of a cop-out.

Like many of you, I’m not a big fan of meetings because most of them tend to be presentations. The entire time I’m thinking, “Why didn’t they just record a presentation and send that out rather than have a bunch of people sit in a meeting with no expectations or action items? Seems like a big waste of time.” We’ve all been in those meetings.

Here’s the thing: selling is one of the most valuable competencies of the day. Do you know why? Because at some point, we’ll all need to sell an idea, a product, or our own competencies (to an employer, for instance). But perfecting the competency of selling is hard work and time-consuming. First, because it involves sales training. And then—although many of us don’t know it—because the cornerstone of sales is psychology, which requires intensive training too.
