Interactive. Immersive. Innovative/ Creative/ Different. Effective. Fun. All of the above. These words get thrown around a lot. Frankly, it troubles me when they’re used incorrectly because it leads to misunderstandings. It’s important to realize that these can mean one thing to you and your association and something different to an eLearning vendor or instructional designer.

You all KILLED IT! Last week our conversation centered around the twitter chat. How twitter chats, in general, may be improved and I have to say the response was great. I loved having your voices added to the conversation, including those of some of chat moderators; an unanticipated bonus! This from Doug , was my favorite – talk about taking ownership. “People are coming to hang out with me for an hour.

In an insightful article, Ken Majer (full disclosure, a boss of mine many years ago) has written about the need to have the right culture before executing strategy. And this strikes me as a valuable contribution to thinking about effective change in the transformation of L&D in the Revolution. I have argued that you can get some benefits from the Revolution without having an optimized culture, but you’re not going to tap into the full potential.

The culture-change bandwagon appears to be off and running at a fast pace. Companies are jumping on because they are desperate to compete, create new services, and get products to market faster. They have automated the simple and routine tasks and now they want to be more productive with a smaller workforce. My fear is that in the rush to change they will overlook the hard work of preparing and supporting employees through the transition.

A continued bane of my existence is the ongoing requirements that are put in place for a variety of things. Two in particular are related and worth noting: accreditation and compliance. The way they’re typically construed is barking mad, and we can (and need to) do better. To start with accreditation. It sounds like a good thing: to make sure that someone issuing some sort of certification has in place the proper procedures.

With the instant access to information that the wonderful world wide web offers us, plagiarism has been a serious byproduct.

There is probably no doubt that learner engagement is paramount, for the success of any course. In a face-to-face training, the instructor/trainer interacts directly with learners and ensures that they are tied up in the course. However it’s altogether a different ball game for self-paced eLearning and online courses, which lack human touch. I think, interactivity and interactions can play an important role there.

If you are an instructional designer then you may have a variety of clients or customers. If you are selling courses, then the support you provide for your customers is perhaps different than the support you would provide if you are designing custom elearning solutions. In either situation most people start by simply using email, but this solution isn’t really scaleable.

When people create a course that they intend to sell the one thing they are most concerned about is that someone will come along and steal their idea. It’s safe to say that everyone has this thought go through their head at some point. In fact, in every consulting call I have done with LearnDash customers this is a consistent sentiment. While it is understandable to feel protective over your course, you actually should look forward to people imitating you.

Someone famously asked Henry Ford if he had talked with customers for their opinions before creating an automobile for the masses. Henry Ford, wisecrack that he was, quipped “If I’d asked what people wanted, they would have said faster horses.” That attitude may have flown in the day and age where doctors were still attempting to cure maladies of all sorts by zapping the bejesus out of their patients with raw electricity, but today’s customers are better informed and much
