'Everyone learns differently, that’s nothing new. However, over the years the different styles of learning have usually been cut down to visual, physical (learn-by-doing), or audible. Truth is, we could probably dissect each of these learning three styles down even further and arrive at a handful of sub-levels. Learning is a complicated concept as everyone is unique in their own way, and learns in their own way as well.

'I have a confession to make. At my workplace a little while ago, I created a smartphone-friendly version of our online induction course. Ownership of smartphones is relatively common in this corner of the world, and a large proportion of our new recruits are Gen Y. So conventional wisdom dictated that a mobile version of the course would be a smash hit.

'The etextbook in 2018 will be coupled to an app that will provide you with Content as a Service (CaaS). It will be designed to make learning easier and more effective. It will replace the old print (and even current online) proto-etextbook that used content as the product you bought.

'There has been a lot of talk about the use of social media tools in formal workplace learning; and I am regularly asked to review initiatives of this kind. In many instances, the use of social tools has simply been “bolted-on” or “shoe-horned” into existing training or e-learning practices, in which case it doesn’t tend to work very well at all.â?

'by AJ Walther. Motivating a dog is easy. There is absolutely nothing my dog won't do for a treat. But motivating a human? Particularly an adult human? That's a complex process. If something (like, say, training) doesn't have an immediate payoff, how do we motivate adults to participate? If we want them to participate in their free time, are we looking at an insurmountable task?

As I wrote in a post in March 2010: Unlike previous recession recoveries, this one will not re-employ large numbers of laid off workers.

Our language gains new nouns and verbs constantly, and our existing words change meanings. Old rules of usage fall out of fashion or are debunked by the latest scholars, and common errors our school teachers pounded into our heads may have become accepted as correct over time.
