e-learning

This post is going to be somewhat different than in the past, specifically a result of the argument of the effectiveness of learning styles and if they even exist.  When I noted this week’s topic on LinkedIn (i.e. the previous week), I received a lot of views and a lot of comments, with well over…

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…

The old adage, take time to smell the roses, I always found odd.  I mean I understand its “meaning”, but I thought to myself, who has the time, to just sit back, relax and well, smell flowers – besides say my late Diego (dog) and now sometimes Cali (dog) who I think is really smelling…

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).  …

There isn’t any way of saying this, the Pandemic will impact all of us, no matter where we are located in the world.  No one can say when it will pass or when we can get back to some level of normalcy.  This post isn’t about the virus and what you should not do, or…

I am fine using handy wipes as a disinfectant for everything when I board an airplane (don’t forget to wipe down the seat belt).  I’m fairly confident that the folks who created handy wipes, never thought someone would use it as part of their air travel, for wiping down anything someone touched, prior to you…

Trends are funny.  People readily assume that a trend must be interpreted as a positive or that the person presenting what will become a trend as the gatekeeper to that trend, and thus, either the person who created whatever that trend is, or must have some level of scientific data to support it. Micro-learning started…

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…

I love forecasts. Forecasts that always pick the weather wrong or forecasts for the future that either hit partially or never, but you dream, that maybe, just maybe that LaserDisc you bought for $10 might be finally hitting its stride, 30 years later. In late 2009, I did my first forecast on this blog.  Then…
