In the eLearning space, a phrase that I see used a lot – to the point of overuse – by designers and developers is their ability to ‘create engaging eLearning experiences’. But what does that really mean? Well, according to dictionary.com the word engage is defined as: “To occupy the attention or efforts of (a person or persons)” That sounds reasonable and is definitely something we should be doing but why is there still so much poor eLearning around if so many claim to be able to cre

There will never be less regulations, less tax changes or less FASB pronouncements. This is why many CPA Firms find themselves in the difficult position of wanting to be more strategic in their growth and succession planning, but finding that the pressures of running the Firm day-to-day are simply too much.

You’re busy. You have deadlines to meet, errands to run, and occasionally some “down time” where you try to squeeze in something fun or relaxing. If it’s your job to create training then you do that a lot too. But how often are you a learner? We can talk about putting ourselves in the learner’s shoes all we want, but the best way to “be the learner” is to actually be one.

Digital revolution affects education too, changing the whole learning process in so many ways. The word “e-learning” doesn’t sound unfamiliar to many of us these days. Moreover, most of us associate it with not only technological progress but also with big opportunities. But is e-learning really as effective as it seems? Or it cannot replace classical education (at least at this point)?

The traditional multiple choice questions we use in assessment are often abstract and measure only whether people recall facts they heard in the last 5 minutes. Converting these questions to scenario-based questions can increase the level of difficulty, measure higher level thought, and provide relevant context. Example Question.

Online courses being a “solo” effort are slowly become a thing of the past. The most effective programs strive to create a sense of community. For a number of years the biggest downside to online courses has been that they take a lot of self-motivation. You start off eager to learn but over time it is easy to lose interest. Like many people I have experienced this as well with a handful of the online language learning programs out there.

While very new as science goes, it’s been around as a term for at least 60 years, when biologist Ralph Waldo Gerard included it in a paper to describe his work with the human nervous system.

So, one of the two things I did last week was attend the eLearning Guild ‘s Realities 36o conference. Ostensibly about Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR), it ended up being much more about VR. Which isn’t a bad thing, it’s probably as much a comment on the state of the industry as anything. However, there were some interesting learnings for me, and I thought I’d share them.

Like most of you, I get a lot of requests for a lot of things. Too many, really. So I’ve had to put in policies to be able to cope. I like to provide a response (I feel it’s important to communicate the underlying rationale), so I have stock blurbs that I cut and paste (with an occasional edit for a specific context). I don’t want to repeat them here, but instead I want to be clear about why certain types of actions are going to get certain types of response.
