Last year, model and cookbook author Chrissy Teigen put in a grocery order with a shopping service. She ordered 5 limes. She received 5 bags worth: 200 limes. Teigen’s response to this overabundance of limes was both good-natured and delicious; she made key lime pies, documenting the event on Instagram. But the fact remains that […]

Once again, it's time to start worrying about a new generation coming into the workforce. In fact, the worrying has already begun.

With the latest research showing that "Americans check their phone on average once every 12 minutes" (yes, that's 80 times a day) as reported by the New York Post, it's no wonder that all eyes in corporate learning are also on mobile. Almost literally, "all eyes" are staring at phones a large percentage of the time in […]

The L&D industry is being disrupted by new technologies...like every other industry. But what does that mean? It's easy to talk about other industries and relate how what happened to them might happen to us. It's also easy to simply ignore that anything is changing at all. Or worse, we see change coming and do […]
Earlier this year I attended CES2016 (Read more here, and here.) and discovered some very cool new tech. One of my favorites was not ready to ship until February. And once it arrived I was not disappointed. The Training and Development industry talks a lot about mobile learning in the sense that mobile devices are […]

Let me start with full disclosure: I am a big Tim Ferriss fan, and have been since The 4-Hour Workweek. As I see it, he is the ultimate learning and development professional. Every single podcast he releases is a 2+ hour soft skills learning experience. And his other show "The Tim Ferriss Experiment" will blow […]
The L&D industry talks a lot about mobile learning. But what about mobile training? With as much as we focus on the learner these days, its equally important to focus on the instruction. Many will argue that you can't/shouldn't deliver entire classes on mobile devices. Let's put aside the notion that "courses" are wrong, and that […]

How do I turn my current live classes into e-learning? This is a very common question from many new LMS customers. Many companies adopt an LMS expressly to overcome the challenges they have with live training. When customers ask me this question, I first ask them if they are sure they should take their classes […]
Another way to think about it is where learners are in their development. We use formal learning when they’re novices, and don’t know what they need or why they need it. Once they’re on the job, when they’re practitioners, they know what they need and just want access to it. The role of performance support […]
Mobile isn’t a fad; the uptake is undeniable and the ubiquity is obvious. Given that you can no longer ignore mlearning, the question is what are you going to do about it? The short answer is that you need a mobile strategy, but to get there we need some context. The first thing to consider […]
Most of the major eLearning development tools (Articulate, Captivate, etc) will tell you about developing once and publishing to many devices.

Just dumping your existing eLearning courses into this format will not yield very impressive results. If you’re creating […]

Mobile Designed Solutions are learning experiences designed specifically for the capabilities of mobile devices. What is Mobile Enabled eLearning? […]
In Part 1 of this series I explained some common design issues with mobile courses. This part discusses the technical aspects or the parts that can cause your course to just not work. Test, test, test - This is more of a solution than a problem, but unless you know for sure you can't expect all […]
