Hello, Litmos community! I have some exciting news I can’t wait to share – news that might just inspire you, too! We just completed a migration project where we rebuilt every White, Green, and Black Belt module in the Dojo – the Litmos customer training center – using our own... more
Some of the scariest monsters aren’t found in haunted houses and graveyards. They live inside your training program! From Frankenwhine to The Content Mummy, these L&D monsters roam among us, hiding in plain sight to wreak havoc on your corporate learning initiatives. Who you gonna call to battle the creatures... more
In March, many college students were on spring break when they got an email from their schools: pack up your dorm rooms and go home. When classes resumed, they were digital. In-person classes were hastily converted to remote formats, policies were changed, and professors quickly learned to use whatever technology... more
In L&D circles, employee engagement is always a hot topic. And it should be because at its core it’s about securing your most valuable asset as an organization – your people.

Learning and development pros come in all shapes and sizes, and often from very different backgrounds from an instructional design and even philosophical standpoint.

The label “micro-learning” refuses to die. You’d think, like most hype-driven buzzwords, it would have faded away. Its very persistence suggests, instead, that there’s some legitimate appeal. And, given that I’ve been an advocate of (and blog at) learnlets, I should agree. So, why am I resistant? And, more importantly,... more
In 2009, an SRI team working for the Department of Education led by Barbara Means, reported for the first time, that eLearning was superior to face-to-face. This is in contrast to the work that Kulik and Kulik had been doing that showed that Computer-Based Training was no worse than face-to-face... more
I’ve written before about learning experience design, but I want to take it a bit further. I think we can, and should, go for an aspirational goal, one that stretches us. I want us to work on “transformation.” So what do I mean by transformation? One way to think about... more
