Capturing responses to a survey of over 4,200 university faculty and college students in the United States, the United Kingdom, India, Saudi Arabia, and Mexico, the…

This month’s questions include best practices for creating content/courses; RFPs/RFIs, Relevance of Learning in 2026. Q: We are new to creating courses and see the terms you use – “content creator” and what others use “authoring tools.” Is there a difference? We have a lot of videos we want to use as separate courses –…

In the past month or so, I recognize and see more and more of AI and how it will become so intertwined with any type of learning system, that what you – the vendor and you – the L&D, Training, CLO, HR professionals, plus C-Suite will drastically change. The question is whether you (the latter…

There’s an old saying that one award is just like another. Wait, there isn’t? Okay, well, a lot of folks, for whatever reason, seem to think that if one analyst goes this way and another goes that way, then why is that? As if we all follow the same methodology and approach? When you train…

This is the time of the year when the deadlines are getting tighter, and people are wondering if they will have to try that new dish from Tommy, a recent hire who told you secretly that he worked at a place that was shut down due to health concerns. Oh, and he was the cook.…

The term Learning Systems is an umbrella term for numerous different types of systems that offer online learning/training, whether for employees, customers/partners/distributors/B2B or direct B2C, a combination of the two, associations, and so forth.

I love Halloween, but over the years, I realized there are two types of people in this world (who celebrate Halloween or similar) when it comes to the 31st. Either the lights are on, and candy is waiting for everyone, or the lights are turned off, and you’re hiding in the back bedroom, so nobody…

As a global learning platform, Coursera aims to help the world’s learners master the right skills to grow their careers. As technological disruption, economic uncertainty, and demographic shifts reshape the global…

The idea of talent management becoming an integral part of learning, with such a high level of intertwinement, made me shudder. I am okay with the fact that talent/performance management, as well as learning, should be separate. TM systems needed learning simply because without it, the substance of workforce development was limited. Additionally, it was…
