e-learning

When your car needs repairs, who do you go and see? Likely a mechanic who has the knowledge and expertise (you hope) to solve it. When you have an issue with your lights at your home, who do you call? An electrician, who has the knowledge and expertise, oh and skills to solve it. Your…

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…

Leadership development is always (at least to me) in the top three reasons folks use a learning system. Number one is developing skills – current or future (albeit that is a bit misleading) – this part of the skills angle is taught through assigned learning. Number two is content tied to your job role, and…

I moved several months ago. I didn’t know what to expect in my town. I fell in love with the mountain views, having the extensive property in the desert. I was anticipating the summer, the intense heat (which actually isn’t that bad), I knew what I thought I knew. Then the deer started to appear.…

I’m sure it happens to you.  There you are at work, when you ask yourself, how would Plato handle it? What would Peter the Great do in this situation with your missing lunch, that was there just an hour ago waving at you in the fridge? Perhaps in the next few weeks you will visit…

I have the most important shirt of the past four decades.  The shirt that announced on that terrible day, the turkey drop of WKRP in Cincinnati.  Who can forget the live feed of Les describing the ill-fated promotion.   If you have forgotten, no worries – here it is   While Ben Franklin was turning over…

I’ve written in the past about MCP (Model Context Protocol) for learning and training (via learning systems), albeit a link to a highly confusing and yet the best version of explanation on the net. MCP, which I will use going forward, is best in explanation to something everyone else can relate to. Let’s say back…

There are two parts to this story. First, EdTech stands for educational technology, which refers to online learning in higher education and K-12/primary education. It has never meant to represent corporate, despite vendors and some of my fellow analysts thinking otherwise. Secondly, vendors in the EdTech sector (and there are those who play corporate too)…
