If you are developing eLearning content for your employees or students, there is something you need to pay more attention to and that is the importance of storyboarding. All great eLearning courses on the internet have one thing in common: they integrate effective storyboarding in the development phase of designing the course. In order for the course to be a success, you need to view the storyboard as the primary foundation of your eLearning course.
Have you ever seen an eLearning course or demo that seemed to know what you were doing? Maybe you entered your name on the first screen and saw it displayed in the course. Perhaps you made a decision early on and a character in a scenario remembered it later. Or maybe the course recommended follow up resources based on the concepts you had trouble with.
If you are creating a course using LearnDash then it can be helpful to “look over the shoulder” and watch someone walk you through the necessary steps. The reality is that software is great but everyone will have questions at some point. Maybe it is with regards to a particular setting, or perhaps about the best way to go about configuring a course.
This is the first part of our guest blogger Susan Bassett's two-part blog post. The second post will be published Tuesday, February 27, 2018. I’ve been presenting online since 2001. I’ve always felt a certain sense of excitement when working with top-notch trainers and producers in creating active, energetic online sessions. Terrific online professionals make choices about how they present which results in transforming distracted, impatient, and overwhelmed attendees into engaged learners.

Let’s face it—most ethics and compliance training programs aren’t winning awards for engagement. But that doesn’t mean they can’t be effective, captivating, and maybe even enjoyable! Join learning design expert Brian Richardson for a dynamic session on how to breathe new life into your ethics and compliance training. We'll explore innovative strategies to bring traditionally dry topics to life, making them resonate with learners and drive tangible change.
The current training model can no longer keep pace with the speed of business and the continuous nature of change. It is time to give it an overhaul. Here are 10 issues associated with current training approaches and some brief pointers about how they can be addressed.
How can an organization experience continued success, if it doesn’t equip its workforce with the right skillsets and knowledge? Short answer: it simply will not. So, you would think it’s a no-brainer: provide the right training for your employees, and as a result, they will be more effective in their jobs and drive company success. Unfortunately for most organizations, across a variety of industries, this is not the reality.

Quizzing isn’t just about assessment. It also helps build retention and strengthen recall. Quizzes are an essential component of any online course. And by “quizzes,” I mean something distinctly different from a midterm or final exam. The purpose of exams is usually to assess learner understanding, quizzes can be viewed as more of a study aid—something to help learners practice for exams.

This blogpost can be read in Dutch on Ennuonline. Video is an important online trend. The tool of this month is therefore a video tool: the 1 second video app. Video is already important in online marketing, and learning and training follows this trend. I can hardly imagine an online course or MOOC without video. The classic way to produce a learning video is to hire a professional filmmaker ask them to record and edit the video.
Virtual reality (VR)! Why is this such an exciting topic? It’s new and up and coming; and its made some amazing improvements within organizations already. It’s a versatile product, being exposed to social environments such as the Olympic Games, to creating simulated “life like” courses for continuing education. Dan White , CEO of Filament Games , shared insights on who VR will impact the most, what some of the challenges are in today’s technology, and where it has already made significant impro
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.
Want to cut down on distractions and multitasking during your course? One of the inevitable battles online instructors face lies in retaining learner attention. Teachers in traditional classrooms face this burden too, of course, but in-person classroom experiences provide a more focused learning environment. Learners can drift away, sneak peaks at their smartphones, or attempt to covertly browse the Internet, but few will be so brazen as to do it in an obvious way.
It’s no secret that technology has evolved tremendously over the past decade, and it’s not stopping anytime soon. We live in an era where people are constantly seeking a faster, better way of doing things. I admit that I seek small learning nuggets during my commute, while waiting for my coffee to cool, or when I’m on-the-go. And while I intend to indulge in longer-form video, articles and online courses, I never do get around to them.
Blended learning’s flexible, adaptable design possibilities make it an excellent option for corporate learning. Learners have the opportunity to engage with resources in all their moments of learning need , and instructional designers have the ability to address each learning objective authentically. Comprehensive programs quickly become complex. How do we expect learners to navigate the experience thoughtfully and completely?

Join WILL’s experts for a nationwide webinar covering compliance requirements, with a special focus on these key state mandates. We’ll guide you through developing and implementing effective prevention policies, building a compliant plan, and delivering the required annual interactive training.
Instructional design is becoming a booming profession as the education market continues to grow, particularly in the online space – and with more opportunity comes increased competition. No more than 10 to 15 years ago the instructional design profession was one that had demand but not as much visibility as the typical career tracks like engineering and healthcare.

by Kevin Siegel, CTT+, COTP. During our live, online Articulate Storyline Beginner classes , we teach students how to import and record voiceover audio. The most common question we get about voiceover audio is “Can Storyline convert text to audio files?” The answer has always been "no." However, “no” became “yes” thanks to a recent Storyline 360 update. If you select the Insert tab on the Ribbon and click the Audiotool (located in the Media group), you’ll find Text-to-Speech.

Join David Worrell, accomplished CFO, finance expert, and author, for an engaging, nontraditional take on reading financial statements.
In early 1999, Sugata Mitra and some colleagues sunk a computer into the opening of a wall in New Delhi, India. In the nearby slum poor people were desperately struggling to survive. The screen was visible from the street, and the PC was available to anyone who passed by. The computer had internet access and a number of programs available, but no instructions were given for its use.
Research indicates companies that prioritize high-impact learning can show up to three times greater profit growth over a period of about four years.¹ High-impact learning happens naturally in organizations with a continuous learning culture. According to Deloitte, a continuous learning culture “places the employee at the center of a new vision that treats learning as a continuous process, not an episodic event, and as a company-wide responsibility, not one confined to HR.”².
We have over 100,000 cutout character images in the eLearning Brothers Cutout People Library. With that many characters to choose from, I admit that sometimes I have trouble choosing a cutout person to use. After all, I’m the sort of person who experiences decision paralysis picking out an outfit each day—should I wear this pair of dark skinny jeans or that pair of dark skinny jeans and which of my 20 sweaters from Loft???
The CompTIA A+ Certification is the base-certification for the entire IT industry. The certification is required by various agencies within the US Government as well as many State and Local Governments.

Based on comprehensive survey data from diverse healthcare providers, the 2025 HIPAA Benchmark Report delivers actionable intelligence for modern compliance programs. This report examines how organizations are restructuring HIPAA Privacy Programs to address emerging regulatory requirements. Through analysis of staffing models, program operations, and breach management protocols, it provides a clear picture of current best practices.
My core point here is straightforward – we have a mandate to treat workforce performance as a continuum from Point-of-Entry (onboarding and 1st learning) to Point-of-Work (sustained performance competency). Therefore, it makes sense to me that any assessment efforts undertaken should include the downstream, post-training PoW; hence, the need for a holistic Learning Performance Assessment (LPA).
I was answering some questions about a previous post of mine on AR, and realized I have made some unnecessary limitations in my own thinking. And I may not be the only one! So I thought I’d share my thoughts on a broader view of augmented reality. Now, most people tend to think of Augmented Reality as visual augmentation of a scene. This typically done with a camera that registers what you’re seeing, and then adds information to the visual field.

Over the years, I’ve looked at a lot of learning technology. And I see a dispiriting trend. There seems to be little learning science of late. What I see are marketing driven decisions, even when there are claims to science! And I think this is a problem. First, I generally resist the ‘let me show you our product and give us your opinion’ That’s free consulting, and a very rude ask!
