e-learning

It is often a challenge to find the pioneers of instructional design for not only e-learning, but also the days of CBT (Computer-Based Training) and before that when we had LANs and WANs with text driven content that went out to the masses. Anyone who grew up during those days, remembers when office computers, and…

This quarterly addition focuses on the reskilling vs skilling question, educational institutions and e-learning, what to look for in a consultant when seeking learning technology and/or learning systems; and what I see as relevant when looking at a learning system. Q: I read that you are a proponent of the idea of reskilling over upskilling.…

Vendors are a clever bunch of folks. Whether they are selling learning technology, content/courses, or even learning systems. I saw this firsthand at LTUK. Those who have Gen-AI in their system, platform content/courses, and technology are noted very visibly. Some who didn’t even have it pitched it at those vendor sessions on the floor. Lots…

Happy days are here again, oh happy days are here again; blah blah, blah blah ..BLAH. I would sing the rest, but as you can see, I forgot the words, plus I’m lazy to look them up. Anyway, the day is here – the launch of FindContent.io, my newest platform, to help YOU find the…
