If you were unfamiliar with L. Frank Baum’s Wizard of Oz and read a description of the elements of the story, you’d likely see a list something like the following: a haunted castle with flying monkeys, a poppy field. a tornado in Kansas, a village populated by wee folk. a forest of talking foul-tempered trees. a cornfield with a sentient scarecrow. and a yellow brick road (YBR for short).

Culture happens. I know, it sounds like a bad bumper sticker from the ’90s, but it’s true: Your organization has a culture. To be successful, that culture will need to be one where learning is valued. Growing and sustaining that kind of learning culture starts with leadership.

At the recent LearnTec conference, I was on a panel with my ITA colleagues, Jane Hart, Harold Jarche, and Charles Jennings. We were talking about how to lift the game of Modern Workplace Learning , and each had staked out a position, from human performance consulting to social/informal. Mine (of course :) was at the far end, innovation. Jane talked about how you had to walk the walk: working out loud, personal learning, coaching, etc.

An increasing number of subject matter experts are sharing their knowledge in a variety of ways. One of them is the creation of learning content. Facilitating this is the core role of my company Easygenerator. We provide a hassle-free authoring platform for them to share knowledge effortlessly. We know that the software must be so intuitive that anyone can log in and, without any training, can start creating learning material.

Clients often come us to develop their learning solution saying they already know what they want. They want gamification. We ask what they mean by gamification. They say they want the training to be a game. And why do they want it to be a game? Because they want it to be fun. We hear this all the time - even from some colleagues. For training to engage learners, it must be entertaining.

My daughter is in kindergarten this year. It’s been so much fun to watch her process of learning to read and write. During their unit about animals, my daughter wrote some facts about fish. A fish moves with its tail and fin. Its covering is called scales. Fish do not have eyebrows. How fish move, what kind of covering they have…and their lack of eyebrows?!?

We often take for granted that people know how to learn. After all, we all had to learn while in school, right? But that can be a dangerous attitude to take when it comes to corporate training initiatives. School curricula are built on theories about how children and teenagers learn (and how much time they can dedicate to learning). Have you ever considered whether adults learn in the same way?

Instructional design, as is well documented, has it roots in meeting the needs for training in WWII. User experience (UX) came from the Human Computer Interaction (HCI) revolution towards User Centered Design. With a vibrant cross-fertilization of ideas, it’s natural that evolutions in one can influence the other (or not). It’s worth thinking about the trajectories and the intersections that are the roots of LXD, Learning eXperience Design.

What is power? Looking at the standard definition we see this: “ the capacity or ability to direct or influence the behavior of others or the course of events “ However, the word, “power” often triggers negative emotions of a person or process leveraging against us. Negative power words surround us. This said I find “power” an interesting concept when it comes to working within organizations.

If you are looking to improve your employee retention rates, implementing an effective onboarding plan might be the answer you’re looking for. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, 3 million Americans quit their jobs every month (1). Poor onboarding experiences and unclear expectations are some of the top reasons for employees to leave their positions within the first six months (2).

There are a lot of mistakes you can make when building a course, but there’s one in particular that I see repeatedly. This mistake happens to people that you wouldn’t expect it to happen to. It happens to experts, to teachers filled with enthusiasm, and to people overflowing with excitement to teach their topic. Passion and enthusiasm are a huge advantage because they are contagious feelings that pass on to students.

Micro-learning is so hot right now. But I’m not going to deliberate over its definition. If you’re into that, check out Shannon Tipton’s Microlearning: The Misunderstood Buzzword and 7 Deadly Myths of Microlearning. Nor am I going to try to convince you to jump on board, or abandon ship. Instead, I’m going to consider firstly how micro-learning might be used in a corporate training context; and secondly, pivot towards something slightly different.

“Never design anything without first writing the learning objectives.” We all know this. It’s a useful rule, but only when the objectives are useful. And there’s the problem — conventional learning objectives can work against us. They’re our friends, but not always. What do I mean by “conventional learning objectives?

Customization is crucial for an effective LMS strategy. A one-size-fits-all approach no longer works for diverse and dynamic organizations. Customizable LMS platforms allow tailored learning experiences that meet specific company needs, boost user engagement, and seamlessly integrate with existing systems. Customization also supports scalability, adapting as an organization evolves, ensuring long-term investment value.

Students of today are very different from those in the past. Is education changing to keep up? Probably not fast enough. I was an online student 16 years ago, and sometimes I still see online content that is stuck back in 2003 when the most successful online learners were highly motivated and were able to read to learn. Back then, we read everything in the class, from e-textbooks and lectures to discussion board posts.

One of the most important lessons I learned when I first started designing and developing eLearning courses was the importance of building performance-based eLearning interactions. However, this wasn’t a lesson I learned quickly. When I first started as an eLearning designer, I remember being constantly reminded of the importance of making my eLearning content interactive.

Oprah was the keynote speaker at the Association for Talent Development, International Conference and Expo (ATD ICE) this morning and she dropped the mic on all of us. I wish I could say that everyone got a car, but I guess that is not what the universe had in mind for me today. What the universe did have in mind for me, was to awaken my spirit. I’ve just now gotten back to my hotel room after the keynote, because I wanted to hammer out some work before I went back to the expo hall.

What would happen if we used the same technology on our employees? The results have been outstanding!
