Creating eLearning these days has never been easier. However, easy does not mean instant. Unfortunately, the boss heard about how fast it can be to crank out eLearning content and asked if you can have 60 minutes of content ready to go within a week. Yikes!   But seriously, how long does it take to create eLearning?   A few years ago, we created a tool that helps eLearning developers determine how long it can take to develop eLearning in Adobe Captivate.

Ask any eLearning expert about the ingredients of achieving success with online learning and their answer is likely to include – ‘choice of platform, ‘features offered’, ‘learner’s ability’, ‘trainer’s knowledge’ and may be even ‘luck’. . But there is another important ingredient that many forget to focus on – i.e. personalization. . In today’s world where technology dominates almost every aspect of our lives, the ‘ one-size-fits-all’ solution doesn’t work.

In 2015, less than half (49%) of all learning was instructor-led in a classroom without a virtual learning component, marking a steady decline over the course of seven years according to the Association of Talent Development. The conversion of classroom training to virtual training is a growing trend that cannot be ignored. But how do we successfully transition instructor-led training into a virtual training session without losing our audience?

My favorite aspect of working as an instructional designer is the creative work. I love writing branching scenarios, preparing presentations for conferences and webinars, and editing images for clients’ courses. I also enjoy testing out new software to see how I can best leverage it as a creative outlet. That’s why I had quite a bit of fun playing with Storify.

Gamification has been a hot buzzword in the learning space for awhile. All kinds of learning tech—from the LMS to the simple mobile apps—all claim to incorporate gamification. It’s why 80% of Forbes 2000 companies had plans as far back as 2014 to introduce gamification into their learning programs. And it is why the gamification industry is growing at a rate of 46% while the LMS industry is shrinking at a rate of 36%.

Whether your course is online only or in-person, certificates are a common way people demonstrate that they have completed training. This can be training for their profession, or just for fun – truth is that people like certificates! In the old days ( real old days) people used to use Microsoft Publisher to whip up basic certificate designs.

Nowadays the world seems to be all a-clamor over the idea of “responsive design” for eLearning. Yet, there still is a lot of confusion over what it is and how to implement it. Recently, I was privileged to lead a couple of sessions on that very topic at the eLearning Guild’s FocusOn Learning conference in San Diego. The topic was quite well-received and I figured that more people would be interested in hearing about it.

Now THIS is what Deliberate Practice looks like! Last night, the Fire Department used the house next door (which will be demolished on Wednesday) as a training ground. It was pretty exciting to watch the smoke and fire streaming out of the windows and to see the firefighters climbing the roof and cutting holes in it. Alas, they didn't burn the house completely to the ground, much to my daughter's chagrin.

Good learning requires a basis for intrinsic interest. The topic should be of interest to the learner, a priori or after the introduction. If the learner doesn’t ‘get’ why this learning is relevant to them, it doesn’t stick as well. And this isn’t what gamification does. So tarting up content is counter-productive. It’s a bad (s)tart!

A wonderful accident has placed our moon at just the right distance from the Earth so that when it gets between the Sun and the Earth we perceive the moon as completely blocking out the Sun. Total eclipses have been considered omens of great events since our earliest ancestors. In 1919, Sir Arthur Thomas Eddington performed an experiment during a total eclipse that provided the first test of Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity.

“Create a course and they will come”… or so you hope! Sometimes despite best efforts our entrepreneurial ventures don’t go the way we originally planned. If you have created a course and are disappointed in the sales (or lack thereof) then you might be feeling a bit defeated, wondering what to do next. First, let me say that just because the original idea didn’t unfold the way you wanted it to it doesn’t mean you should stop trying.
