What do you think of when you hear the term eLearning? Maybe your mind jumps to webinars or interactive courses in a Learning Management System (LMS). There are many different types of eLearning, so it isn’t surprising that they can be divided into categories. Let’s explore them and take a look at their advantages and disadvantages.

Connie Malamed’s new book Visual Design Solutions: Principles and Creative Inspiration for Learning Professionals is written specifically for learning professionals. As instructional designers, we often communicate visually as well as with text, audio, and other media. Many of us (myself included) don’t feel as strong about our graphic design skills as about our other instructional design skills.

During the sales process, one of the most common questions to an eLearning vendor like us is “How do you price your custom eLearning projects?“ A few years ago, the answer to this used to be relatively simple. Typically it would mention pricing as per ‘level’ of output. Most vendors would classify their eLearning output […].

In this fast-moving world, we constantly need to learn new stuff. In the workplace, this is particularly important, as I showed in an earlier blog post, where Jacob Morgan talks of the future employee moving from “knowledge worker” (knowing stuff) to “learning worker” (learning new stuff). So how can organisations support continuous learning at work?

#ATD2015 It’s a Wrap: Where the Magic Happens. I was so happy to meet Miranda Lee. Talk about magic! Really it was serendipitous. You know, like the kind of serendipity that Jean Marrapodi talked about yesterday. Just like that. I happened to be sitting next to her at a Red Feather Network event and we got to talking, instructional design, social media, the new generation of learning (geeky learning stuff).

I spent the greater part of the weekend mulling over the practice of working out loud , what makes some folks adopt the habit with ease while others struggle, and what could be some of the possible enabling factors that support working out loud. The more I thought about it, the more it seemed to me that it is one of the fundamental blocks of building a community of practice.

Assessments in any learning course – whether academic or corporate, are absolutely necessary because they ensure that the course is meetings its objectives. Unless there is a mechanism to test, the effectiveness of the learning program cannot be guaranteed, nor can the course be improvised. Just like with anything else, assessing also requires a careful strategy.

#ATD2015 – It’s a wrap! The ATD ICE (Association for Talent Development International Conference and Expo) Conference never fails to teach me something new. This will have been my sixth time, in a row, attending this conference and by now, one would think I would be nonchalant about the experience. Wow, is that not the case. This year brought a very different social learning experience for me, almost as though I was viewing the conference through bifocal lenses.

Nearly every elearning program that exists today in almost every industry is powered by a learning management system (LMS). The LMS is what is responsible for successful delivery and recording of the course content. Depending on the system that you are using, it is also what is behind the gamification elements , communication points (such as email and forums), and overall “brand” for your courses.

Kudos to Deloitte for making a concerted effort to develop a fair, efficient, and useful performance management system for its 65,000 employees. In a blog post for Harvard Business Review titled Reinventing Performance Management , Marcus Buckingham and Ashley Goodall describe Deloitte’s evolving system. They write: This is where we are today: We’ve defined three objectives at the root of performance management—to recognize, see, and fuel performance.

by Sean Stoker Are the slides that make up your eLearning lessons text-heavy? Images are an often overlooked component of a good eLearning course. Sadly, when images are added to eLearning, they often have little to do with the content being presented or, just as sad, are of poor quality. You've probably heard the saying that a picture is worth 1,000 words.

Reporting for open source learning is one of the top pain points among Moodle and Totara users. Moodle reporting needs are often complex, and they only increase over time. Unfortunately, many of the reporting and analytics solutions that are available simply do not have the capacity to provide what users need. This can make shopping for a reporting solution a lengthy process, with limited success.

At a recent meeting, one of my colleagues mentioned that increasingly people weren’t throwing away prototypes.

Multitenancy is a topic that is popping up in discussions around learning management systems. Many people are unsure of whether or not they need it, and some don’t even know what it is. Multi-tenancy is when one organization with different groups, each with their own courses, materials, and needs, uses one central learning management system, but are separated within the system.
