e-learning

Welcome. Welcome to the annual Turkey Awards. Last year’s 2018 Awards were all the rage.  Truly coveted by those in the know, who know, they really shouldn’t be in the e-learning industry.  In 2018, we also had the Worst Awards (after all, way too many best out there), but for 2019, the Turkey Awards combine…

Hummingbird. For whatever reason, I have a hummingbird that is a feeder snob. They won’t use the bigger container of nectar, oh no, they want the small one – made for one. When it is out, I swear it gives me a look multiple times from my window, waiting for a refill, as if they…

I’d love to tell you that the forecasts below are all happy stardust and puppies, but the fact is, well they are not.  A few have the potential to switch from a negative to positive, others well, it comes down to a variety of variables, now that we are all in this together (the Pandemic).  …

Some of you are thinking, why is he using “2” and “C” as the title of the piece?  Well, why not?  I mean, when you consider that “communities” in learning systems are roaring back (although in all honesty, they never left), as though it is some whiz and wow thing, having a “2” to represent…

Learning Technology: LMS, LXP, LMS/LXP, Skills Platform, Learning Platform, Authoring Tools, Third-Party Content Providers, EdTech (K-12, Higher Education). E-Learning tools. EDP, and the list continues. Trust. Customer support, technical support, meeting obligations presented before or as part of the signing, promises unfilled, survival one minute, sale the next, consolidation (albeit the numbers are very small),…

It’s that time of the year. Spring is just around the corner (okay for me), and your pets (if you have any) are demanding table scraps and not the stuff you feed them. This week’s blog covers a few notes from around the industry, some thoughts I have about various e-learning and learning technology, including…

Remote workers.  Deskless workers.  Regardless of the preferred term, your employees, your customers are likely working from home.  They are not coming into your office or some other facility.   And with that, becomes a challenge for L&D and Training.  The Good Old Days  – As in early Feb. 2020 Let’s look into our crystal ball…

In preparation for this post, which is likely to stir emotions on both sides (supporters of assigned learning vs those who are not), I went about and did an exploration of various sites on the web. I stayed clear of academic journals and academic articles, because academics are not the ones taking the online learning…

It was finished. All I had to do was click publish, but then something happened. Dinner. Afterwards, I started to question the post.  Too many times I find that when talking about content, 3rd party content providers, content driven strategies from learning system vendors (which is quite hot) and marketplaces place more of a general…

Everyone knows that support in the learning system space as a whole is below average. Sure there are vendors who do an exceptional job, but the fact still remains that the number one reason, people leave one learning system vendor for another is support/service. This isn’t new. It has been the same issue for nearly…
