How often have we heard our clients lament about the main function of the Learning Management Systems (LMSs) – that they are largely concerned with the management of learning rather than the process of learning itself? Very often, if you ask me. However, after having seen a number of LMS implementations across various industries, I am of the opinion that an LMS can be smartly used to deliver effective blended learning that focuses primarily on the process of learning.

'En primer lugar, permítanme felicitar a quienes trabajaron en el desarrollo y lanzamiento de Articulate Storyline. Embarcarse en el proyecto tan ambicioso de desarrollar una aplicación como Storyline, desde cero, no es una tarea sencilla. Sin embargo, si existe una compañía que puede lograr eso, definitivamente es Articulate. Siempre he admirado a Articulate, incluso cuando trabajaba para Adobe como evangelista de productos como Captivate y también, eLearning Suite.

Social technologies now play a big part in everything we do, and it is quite clear that many knowledge workers use a variety of social tools and networks not only to help them get work done, but also to learn efficiently while on the job. We also know that this informal, social learning accounts for 80% or more of how people learn in the workplace, so it is not something to be dismissed as irrelevant or trivial.

Dov Seidman argues that principled leadership is a determining factor in developing and sustaining a successful organization. In the new edition of his book, How: Why How We Do Anything Means Everything , he reports the findings from his company’s survey of 36,280 employees in 18 countries. In an interview with Art Kleiner, editor-in-chief of strategy+business , Seidman is quoted as saying: We found that all the companies fit into one of three general categories.

by Jennie Ruby    Do I need a comma after "In 2008"? That is one of the most frequent questions I am asked in grammar classes. The answer I must give is that the comma is usually optional. For seekers of definitive answers with which to mow down the opposition, this "optional" nonsense is an unacceptable situation. So for them, and for you, if you are seeking definite answers, I must dig deeper.

When I started talking about mobile, I thought it was interesting adjunct to desktop computing. In fact, in my early (2000) article on mobile learning, I said “Soon there will be essentially no distinction between mLearning and elearning.” And I admit that I was wrong. At least partly. Let me explain. It depends on how you define elearning.

Not too long ago I wrote a post about my initial reaction to Articulate Storyline and its relation to Adobe Captivate. The post itself attracted a lot of attention, many of the comments passionately defending Storyline. It seems one thing is abundantly clear since Storyline has come onto the scene: the comparisons between the two programs is at an all time high.

One never knows when validation to an idea might show up, or for that matter, show up in such an unrelated way. Then again, maybe what first appeared unrelated was meant to shine the light on something that truly is relevant, though subtle in its presentation. So what did all that philosophy mean? I am forced to blame this observation on my cat, Gracie, more specifically; her umpteenth unsuccessful attempt to catch a bird.

by Kevin Siegel    I received an email from a Captivate developer asking if it was possible to remove the white space that appears between the browser toolbars and SWF when a lesson is opened within a browser. In the image below, notice that there is white space above the SWF (just below the browser's menu bar).    Admittedly the space that appears above a SWF isn't huge and it's not something that I had spent time thinking about.

Social learning a lot of us hear a lot these days — we know, vaguely, what it is, and we know that it’s happening, whether we like it or not, every day. And yet the vast majority of our money and energy goes toward formal training programs, not these social, off-the-cuff initiatives. Why is that? For one, formal training is what we know best, so it makes sense that learning and development professionals gravitate toward it.

The survey includes a question about the types of learning methods and media that respondents have experienced in the past year, which gives a useful indicator of trends.
