Stories = Engagement = Learning

InSync Training

Storytelling has a long history as one of most fundamental communication methods. From paintings on cave walls to Egyptian hieroglyphs, to the first words ever written on papyrus with ink, people have been telling and listening to stories. We love to HEAR stories, too! As children, we all begged our parents for “one more story!” And many of us remember the morals of those stories even now as adults.

Gaining Accreditation for Your Online Course

LearnDash

You offer an online course and award certificates but they don’t really carry any weight until your program is accredited. Certificates are great in online courses – and let me clear the air on one thing: you don’t need industry accreditation in order to offer them. People will still be happy to earn them and even print them off. But what if you do want the certificate to mean something more?

We have nothing to go on, and we’re usually under tight deadlines with limited resources so we resort to what everyone else is doing: bullet points and cheap clip art.

Human Capital Analytics — Now

Human capital powers activity in commercial business and in government. It is estimated that the cost of human capital can be nearly 70% of annual operating expenses. In spite of the importance of this capital (the people and the cost to support them), real financial analysis of the impact of variable outcomes is seldom conducted. The performance of an organization varies with the performance of its human capital.

Using WordPress for Your Classroom

LearnDash

In the United States the school year is just about to start. If you are a teacher, why not use WordPress to supplement your classroom? Many schools already have a learning management system in place, but the truth is that they are really clunky and no one really wants to use them. Because of this it isn’t uncommon for teachers to set-up their own classroom specific sites to share details and news relating to their subject, and WordPress is proving to be a great choice.

In the L&D world, e-learning today can sometimes be seen as the poor cousin to instructor-led training.
