Enhance Digital Learning Experiences with Video

B Online Learning

I love a good vid. In this age of Netflix, Stan, Foxtel Now and YouTube, you can be pretty much guaranteed to find something you want to watch that is engaging and entertaining. Pretty much any interest you have can be ‘googled’ and located not only for entertainment purposes but also for learning. Want to learn how to build a deck? There’s a vid for that.

Stories = Engagement = Learning

InSync Training

Storytelling has a long history as one of most fundamental communication methods. From paintings on cave walls to Egyptian hieroglyphs, to the first words ever written on papyrus with ink, people have been telling and listening to stories. We love to HEAR stories, too! As children, we all begged our parents for “one more story!” And many of us remember the morals of those stories even now as adults.

Gaining Accreditation for Your Online Course

LearnDash

You offer an online course and award certificates but they don’t really carry any weight until your program is accredited. Certificates are great in online courses – and let me clear the air on one thing: you don’t need industry accreditation in order to offer them. People will still be happy to earn them and even print them off. But what if you do want the certificate to mean something more?

Webinar: Elevating eLearning Design

eLearning Brothers

Bullet points. Stale narration. “Click next” instruction. Long audio lectures. Yawns. We all know what boring eLearning courses feel like. We all hate them. The real question is, why do we keep producing them? The answer is that most of us haven’t seen better examples. We have nothing to go on, and we’re usually under tight deadlines with limited resources so we resort to what everyone else is doing: bullet points and cheap clip art.

Human Capital Analytics — Now

Human capital powers activity in commercial business and in government. It is estimated that the cost of human capital can be nearly 70% of annual operating expenses.

Clark Quinn

When you’re creating learning experiences, you want to worry about the outcomes, but there’s more to it than that.

The latter may be more of a stretch, but I’ll make the case. When you typically talk about learning, you talk about two goals: retention over time, and transfer to all appropriate (and no inappropriate) situati

In the United States the school year is just about to start. If you are a teacher, why not use WordPress to supplement your classroom? Many schools already have a learning management system in place, but the truth is that they are really clunky and no one really wants to use them. Because of this it isn’t uncommon for teachers to set-up their own classroom specific sites to share details and news relating to their subject, and WordPress is proving to be a great choice.
