With most economies quickly moving towards knowledge-resourced survival strategies, eLearning is the most sought-after knowledge management pedagogy. If you are one of those innovators, who favor lifelong learning and want to promote a business based on this value, then an eLearning Organization might be the answer for you. Having accumulated a wealth of knowledge in an organization, managers are looking for ways to make it available to employees in a meaningful way.

We’ve written before about the pervasive issue that is stagnating economic growth in the US—employee disengagement. According to research from Gallup , only 30% of American workers are engaged. What do we mean by engaged? As Gallup defines, engaged employees “work with passion and feel a profound connection to their company [and therefore] drive innovation and move the organization forward".

When you were growing up, did you like school? As you got older and began to pursue a postsecondary education, did you look forward to your classes? For many people, the answer to both of these questions is “no.” There is just something about classroom-based education that disengages the mind.

The other day some one asked me about badges and learning. Here are some thoughts on the subject. 1) Badging is good for indicating non-linear knowledge acquisition. Leveling tends to build upon the previous skills. 2) Badging can serve two purposes. One is to micro-credential a person. This means that the badge certifies that someone can do what they need to do.

Humans have the innate desire to learn. Not only that, but we also have the brainpower to acquire new skills at a rapid pace. Depending upon personal preferences and abilities, people have traditionally been referred to as kinesthetic learners, visual learners and auditory learners. Which type of learner are you? Are you familiar with the three traditional learning styles (visual, kinesthetic and auditory)?

So how do we do this, systematically, reliably, and repeatably? Let’s be clear, there are times we need knowledge level objectives.
