Perhaps the mystery and hyperbole that surrounds so many new technology based solutions is inevitable. Perhaps people are intimidated by the “newness” and fear investing on the “bleeding” edge. Perhaps they have had their fingers burned in the past. A cynic might even argue that there are vested interests in the form of specialist consultants [.].
Experiencing eLearning
JULY 13, 2012
I am still very much a novice in mobile learning. I’ve known for quite a while that mobile was a topic I’d have to learn more about eventually, but to be honest, it isn’t something most of my clients are talking about yet. I suspect I am one of the only instructional designers left in the world who doesn’t own a smartphone. I believe my current phone is what is called a “feature phone”; I can download some games and I am able to access the web (although I don&

When it comes to mobile learning myths and misconceptions abound. The mlearning domain is still new to many, so this confusion is to be expected. These myths are holding back widespread adoption of mobile learning in the workplace. Here is a list of the more common ones I come across. Also contrast with a list of myths we posted on this blog a couple of years ago. 1.

Several excellent blog posts have recently come to my attention that, when combined, provide a how-to for creating a learning culture in organizations. One of these posts appears in Jane Hart’s blog, Learning in the Social Workplace. In this post , she writes that workplace learning is: Structured learning experiences (e.g., training) and informal learning experiences (e.g., communities of practice).

'For all the mind-boggling stats we read about the video revolution, like how we are publishing video to YouTube at the rate of 72 hours every minute, and consuming over 3 billion hours of video each month, as well as other stats you can see here , video as a medium hasn’t really evolved. For the most part it has remained a fairly passive experience.

My Internet Time Alliance colleagues and I constantly talk about the need for continuous learning and how we all need to direct and manage our own learning – here’s one of my articles that I wrote in 2007. So I enjoyed the recent article in the Washington Post by Joyce E. A. Russell (that included a nice little cartoon) and which made the point very clearly about the need for continual learning. “With today’s more complex business environment, learning is not just a nice thing

It's such a small thing, but as a long-time Captivate user I have always been disappointed with the fact that there was no way to group slide objects. Sure, you can select multiple objects by [Shift]-clicking, but you have to repeat the selection process every time you want to do something to related objects. In a word, that's annoying! As with many Captivate shortcomings, grouping is now available in Adobe Captivate 6.

Why should you keep on learning? You have a college degree, maybe a terminal degree such as MBA or Ph.D. You have a job that you know how to do and you’re good at it. You get a regular paycheck, and, if you’re lucky, have a long-term contract and stock options. Other than your supplier’s new products and services, what is there left to learn? Learning and work have merged.

The world of work is changing rapidly, exposing critical skill gaps across industries. Business and HR leaders are feeling the pressure to upskill employees—but many don’t know where to begin. The best place to start is with a clear, organization-wide view of existing skills. Tools like assessments and competency management software provide that visibility, helping you identify gaps and opportunities across teams and individuals.

'I love Mobile and everything that it represents. I like the physicality of touch, the idea that nothing gets in the way of me and my content, no keyboard, no mouse, no stylus, no usb ports for a microphone or webcam to connect to, nothing but touch. I enjoy the simplicity of mobile. Some of my favorite apps, such as Clear, Snapguide and Snapseed have one thing in common, they are simple, innovative and yet they do amazing things without much effort from me.

It’s now three weeks after mlearncon and for me the power of project TinCan is still sinking in.

“How can I convince others about the value of social technologies in an organisation?” That’s a question that I am often asked. I usually say that a good way to start is to demonstrate the value of social media for you professionally – after all if you can’t show how you use it effectively for your own professional practice, how can you help others to understand the value of social technologies for them!

Of late, I’ve been both reviewing eLearning, and designing processes & templates. As I’ve said before , the nuances between well-designed and well produced eLearning are subtle, but important. Reading a forthcoming book that outlines the future but recounts the past, it occurs to me that it may be worthwhile to look at a continuum of possibilities.

Clients who already use paper-based materials for distribution or in an instructor-led environment often ask us how we can enhance the learning experience for participants.

It’s probably easier to push toothpaste back into a tube than convince sales professionals to attend classroom training. Sounds like an exaggeration? Not in my opinion! In my previous job with a life insurance company, I noticed that most sales professionals actually dislike training. In most cases they used to attend classroom training sessions only because it was a mandate passed down by senior managers.

It doesn’t matter what industry an organization is in, they all have the two same objectives: Increase revenue. Decrease cost.

As new challenges emerge, organizations look for new solutions and more often than not, end up bolting on a new system or software. Very often, the new system may be able to address some of the challenges faced, but in a very disjoint manner. Not only is such an experience frustrating for the end learners, but also for training administrators as the system is inefficient and can prove to be counter-productive.

In an insightful piece , Harold Jarche puts together how collaboration and cooperation are needed to make organizations work ‘smarter’, integrating workgroups with the broader social network by using communities of practice as the intermediary. This makes a lot of sense to me, and I was inspired to take a look at the practices within those categories.

I tailed my previous blog post with the question: What is the SII of your organisation’s intranet? By “SII” I mean Social Intranet Index – a metric I have proposed to measure the degree of social functionality afforded by the platform. From 1 through to 10, the SII represents an increasing level of sociability. I posed this question to 23 intranet managers from around the world, and they kindly rated their respective platforms against a 10-point likert scale.
