Learning objects cover a single learning objective, while acting as autonomous units that can be leveraged across multiple courses. One of the main advantages with e-learning and the delivery of online training is the opportunity to serve learning objects (compliant with SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, AICC and Tincan) that reflect the needs of your training objectives.

When designing and delivering content, we need to balance five elements of the learner experience: technology, design, people, place, and time. In order to achieve this balance, we need to focus on the learner experience. We need to define and leverage how learning is structured, including when it is taking place, where it is taking place, and how it is being delivered.

Learning and development (L&D) professionals have been dealing with problems measuring the effectiveness of their programs for decades. Does this sound familiar? First, you schedule people out of the operation to attend a class or complete an eLearning module. Then, to get to level 1 (reaction) measurement, you have to send them a survey and hope they respond.

eLearning courses are effective only if they reach the learners. eLearning trainers put in maximum effort to create courses that resonate well with the learners. While the trainers take extreme caution in how the content is delivered, one important factor that needs to be considered is the language of the course delivery. Though English is considered the global language, learning in one’s native language helps the learners to understand better than in any other language.

That’s an analogy someone shared with me several years ago to explain Design Thinking, and it has resonated with me ever since for two reasons. Firstly, it exposes the solution-first approach that pervades the corporate sector; and secondly, it challenges our obsession with perfection.

When you’re new to eLearning, you might find yourself spending a lot of time learning how to use your very first eLearning authoring tool or how to design your slides. In fact, you can get so distracted trying to master these things, that it becomes all too easy to forget the importance of also mastering your instructional design skills! And one of the best ways to master this skill is to check out some of the great instructional design books available.

If you’re new to selling online courses (or selling anything, really), you may not know what sales funnels or pipelines are, not to mention what the “buyer’s journey” is all about.

Come “nerd out” on e-learning with us! Learning management is a big industry with many players, most of which are venture-funded. The industry is also quite “cut-throat” which makes it difficult for the bootstrapped offering to compete. Our learning management system is one of a select (very) few offerings that started without venture capital and has steadily grown organically through word of mouth and by offering a solid product with vision-oriented development.

Once your organization has made a decision to use Moodle as your chosen learning management system (LMS) , another big decision lies ahead. Do you host it yourself or rely on a Moodle hosting services partner to guide you? Many factors play into this decision. Keeping a large project like a Moodle implementation in-house can be overwhelming, time restrictive, and, believe it or not, can end up being more costly than outsourcing to a Moodle hosted provider.
