Always Be Consistent Most of the Time

Association eLearning

Would you notice if the sun didn’t come up tomorrow? Of course you would, because the sun comes up every day. You’re used to it. If it didn’t come up that would be breaking the pattern you’ve become accustomed to. There needs to be a pattern in order for a pattern to be broken and when a pattern is broken people take notice.

Why Learning Matters For The Creators of Learning

Adobe Captivate

We still use version 8 at work right now and even after 2 years of using it every day, I’ve realised I have so much to learn still.

InSync Training

On the surface, microlearning may not sound like a universally accessible option. “My topic’s too complicated to teach in five minutes!” you lament. And you’d be right – using microlearning effectively doesn’t equate to compressing a three-day, hands-on training program into one five-minute explainer video.

However, in designing learning, working in groups has some real negative perceptions and realities. The open question is: what to do? The problems are well-known. As my kids complained, on group projects some team members will reliably slack, letting the most driven student do the work.

Happy Memorial Day – Let’s Try to Actually Remember

Learningtogo

This weekend we celebrate Memorial Day in the U.S. Originally, this was a rather somber holiday, created to honor the dead on both sides during our horrific civil war. As we continued to collect more wars in our history, the holiday expanded to cover all of our fallen heroes. Being a day in early Spring in many parts of our country, the day was originally marked by decorating the graves of loved ones who had died in battles or served in the military.
