It has been several years since I last added my top 10 tools for learning as part of Jane Hart’s annual survey. Some of these are my personal learning tools; others are what I use to create learning for others. You can vote for your top 10 tools for learning until August 26. These tools aren’t ranked, but they are categorized based on whether I use them to create learning for others or as a tool for my own personal development.

Even if you’ve taught in the classroom, teaching online presents new challenges. If you’re preparing to teach your first online course, you may be wondering how online teaching differs from the traditional classroom. After all, the materials and the lesson plan seem like they should be broadly similar, and that moving a course online would be a relatively easy step.

Are you using gamification as part of your L&D strategy? SMART! According to multiple studies, gamification strategies have been proven to increase engagement, improve knowledge retention, and get stellar results, but what if your results just don’t hit the mark? According to instructional designers interviewed by The Game Agency, some errors are very common when implementing gamified learning.

My dad used to regale me with this tale of his best friend, who told his new employer when he started: “If you see me with my feet up on my desk and it appears I’m sleeping, I’m not. I’m working. I’ll still do the work of 2 other engineers.” And he did! I love this story, because it brings out an element that we seem to be losing, the value of taking time for reflection.

We’ve all been there. You’ve been given a pile of dry content and asked to create a compelling eLearning course. You’re determined to create something more engaging than the same old course that learners quickly click through, but how do you take this “boring” content and create something relevant and engaging?

When would you use Twine instead of Storyline or other tools for building branching scenarios? An attendee at one of my recent presentations asked me why I’d bother creating something in Twine rather than just storyboarding directly in Storyline, especially if I was using character images. Whether I would use Twine, Storyline, Rise, or something else depends on the project and the goals.

What makes a great eLearning strategy? There’s no simple blueprint guaranteed to work; but there are recurring themes. The reality of L&D programs is that training needs to be repeatable, scalable, and uphold learning standards. Simultaneously, programs are often more engaging when personalized to the learner. Striking a balance between these demands can be a challenge.

What is a Learning System without content? The answer – an empty shell. While building out an online training program, it’s important to focus on the content. If you don’t have automatic content lined up, you’ll need access to a great content authoring tool.

I recently mentioned that one of the problems with research is that things are more interconnected than we think. This is particularly true with cognitive research. While we can make distinctions that simplify things in useful ways (e.g. the human information processing system model*), the underlying picture is of a more interactive system. Which underpins why it makes sense to talk about Learning Experience Design (LXD) and not just instructional design.

For long, organizations outsourced services expecting to reap the benefits of decentralization—namely, speed, agility, and cost-efficiencies. However, many pure outsourced operations risk devolving into siloed functions with opaque vendor governance and inefficient administration. Before the sourcing organization knows it, their L&D is beyond their control.

It’s no secret that the indication of AI has drastically changed most industries. But with every advancement, there are new hurdles to overcome. Recent research suggests that AI may introduce prejudice and discrimination into decision-making processes, leading to unequal chances. Given that HR and recruiting often use AI, this has the potential to become a serious problem.
