How to Build Your Leadership Bench – Mentoring

Infopro Learning

Leadership Bench Crisis. During the recent recession, there was limited investment in the development of younger, mid-level workers. This lack of focus on growing the leadership bench resulted in a serious skill gap in many workforces. As organizations begin to recognize their talent predicaments, many are developing strategic talent pipelines and are taking a second look at the value of mentoring programs, either formal (a structured process) or informal – letting mentors and mentees design the

Showing Some Love For Captivate

Adobe Captivate

I started my career back in July 2015 when I had no experience of developing elearning content, and had never heard of Adobe Captivate before. At first I was in a state of panic, as the word developer filled my stomach with dread, as I can’t code to save my life. But I wasn’t to worry.

The Knowledge and Learning Transfer Problem

Performance Learning Productivity

During a meeting at Cambridge University around 30 years ago I was thoroughly chastised by a Cambridge academic. I’d used the phrase ‘learning delivery’ when describing computer-supported collaborative learning ( CSCL ) approaches. CSCL was one of the hot pedagogical approaches of the day – when network-based learning was in its relative infancy. “Charles, my dear fellow”, said the Cambridge man, “we may deliver milk, but learning is something that is acquired, never delivered”.

Look Out! Here Comes the Smart LMS

If you were born after 1970, you might not even remember a day in your working life when the Learning Management System (LMS) did not exist. Early iterations of the LMS first started appearing in the 1970s to support a truly disruptive innovation that we now call “eLearning.” Since then, these two learning tools have grown up together, each evolving as the other pushed the envelope a bit further, creating an iterative path to innovation.

Quality assurance: are you about to make or break your digital learning?

Quality assurance has had a slightly murky history. It’s a part of the production process that is often poorly defined, and has sometimes been seen as little more than a necessary but annoying hurdle to be rushed through before a course is released into the wild. At Kineo, we have always resisted this way of thinking and have embedded quality assurance throughout every stage of what we do.
