You already know that off-the-shelf content can save your organization time and money. These courses are built for a wide audience and are applicable in almost any setting. Almost. Occasionally, you’ll choose a course on safety and you’ll end up with something that doesn’t seem to apply to your learners. Or, perhaps a video learning course while great on the surface, simply doesn’t mesh with your organization’s culture.

Practitioners and experts alike believe that modern learning is blended learning. Gone are the days where events, job aids, or resources stand alone. Ideally, we strive to create learning ecosystems that support our learners whenever they have a moment of need , whether it’s in the classroom or back on the job. Fundamentally, informal learning constitutes a critical part of every blend.

Associations and nonprofits share a marketing dilemma unlike traditional for-profit businesses. The target market and demographics for a business are centered around prospective clients and existing clients. Nonprofits and associations have a limited target audience, which consists of existing members, sponsors and exhibitors. Planning and effective execution of marketing concepts for services, such as online courses, requires a different approach to be successful.

At the recent Realities 360 conference, I saw some confusion about the difference between a simulation and a game. And while I made some important distinctions in my book on the topic, I realize that it’s possible that it’s time to revisit them. So here I’m talking about some conceptual discriminations that I think are important. Simulations.

Maybe I’m the one boxed in by technology. Maybe it’s my bias that makes me nuts over the alternatives we consider as innovation. LES can only be part of the answer to “something bigger”…something we are still not putting in the crosshairs…something outside the “box” – Sustained Workforce Capability – AND more importantly WHERE outside the box that target manifests – Point-of-Work.

by Kelly Barett, COTP. Over the years, I’ve taken a lot of eLearning courses; and at this point, I’ve seen it all. Some of the courses I’ve taken were clearly PowerPoint presentations and designed to be eLearning. The "courses" were usually  text-heavy affairs and visually boring. There was usually so much information on the slides that it was nearly impossible to retain anything.  I’ve seen courses that included page numbers.

When it comes down to the nuts and bolts of instructional design , the methodology you use should not be very different when designing a stand-alone traditional classroom course, e-learning module , or a blended learning curriculum. The foundational models are the same. We need to analyze needs, design a learning strategy, and develop and implement content.

by Shane Lueck. It seems outlandish to consider that the amount spent by companies on training has risen steadily over the past decade, culminating in a whopping $70.65 billion spent on training expenditures by U.S. firms in 2016 alone. Yet with all that money spent training their workforce, very few companies actually take the time to look at the actual effectiveness of their training programs.

In my youth, owing to my father’s tutelage and my desire for wheels, I learned how to work on cars. While not the master he was, I could rebuild a carburetor, gap points and sparkplugs, as well as adjust the timing. In short, I could do a tuneup on the car. And I think that’s what Learning & Development (L&D) needs, a tuneup. Cars have changed, and my mechanic skills are no longer relevant.

It brought people’s attention to this marvelous phenomenon that is augmented reality. For most people, this was the first real contact with augmented reality technology, and the immersive nature of the game certainly intensified their game experience.
