Where I Get Blog Post Ideas

Experiencing eLearning

When I talk to people about starting a blog, they often state they don’t have anything to write about. They ask how I come up with ideas, especially when I’ve been blogging so long. As I approach my ninth anniversary of starting this blog, I feel like I have more to write about than I did after one year. I get stuck on writing sometimes, just like everyone else, but I’ve figured out ways to work through those blocks.

What It Costs to Replace an Employee

TOPYX LMS

It’s scary how high rates of employee turnover are climbing for many companies. In October of 2015, there were 4.9 million layoffs, quits and discharges in the United States alone. When you consider the amount of money it costs to hire someone, this figure becomes even more intimidating. Onboarding employees is by no means a small expense. On average, it costs a company about $4,000 to hire a new worker.

Modern Design: Clean and Simple

The Logical Blog by IconLogic

by Jennie Ruby    Right now design is all the rage. Companies are promoting designers to the CEO level (design-e-o's?), incorporating design at the highest levels, prioritizing design, paying designers the big bucks, and generally going on a design spree.

A technology angle to Christmas and the way we greet!

Working and learning out loud

Clark Quinn

I’ve been thinking about some of the talk around the Future of Work, and in addition to the free flow of information I recently posted about from the Coherent Organization, I think working out loud is another component.

It’s Time to Sing A Christmas Carol Again

Origin Learning

What if someone told you that Christmas, which is one of the most celebrated festivals of the world today, was an event “scarcely worth mention”? Hard to believe, eh?
