Conducting an eLearning Tech Audit
Getting all the different technologies working together seamlessly to support your eLearning efforts can feel like a daunting task, but it’s far too important to let it slip off your radar screen. When things don’t work well, it causes stress, anxiety, unnecessary complications, and inefficiency. That’s why a periodic eLearning Tech Audit should be on […]

When Should eLearning Happen?
If you want your eLearning efforts to really pay off with big impacts, employees need to be able to engage it when they’re at their most focused and productive. Obviously, that can’t always happen because we also want employees to devote their most productive times to the important work that needs to be done in […]

eLearning’s Hang-Ups
If you’re a regular reader of my articles, then you know how often I point out that although eLearning is one of the hottest topics out there, it’s utilization rate still remains surprisingly low. You’d think that in today’s digital era that more than 27% of instruction and training delivered to employees would be all […]

Is Emotional Intelligence Really Valued? The Case of Women Leaders
While women continue to gain ground in leadership positions across sectors from politics to business, in reality, women still occupy far fewer leadership positions than men in countries around the world. In 2014, for example, women occupied only 4.6% of Fortune 500 CEO positions. Research on the subject of gender and leadership consistently shows that […]

De-escalating Anger in the Workplace
Most contemporary workplaces—even those where employees are free to dress down and skateboard around the office—are high-stress and complex environments. As a result, no matter how “chill” the work environment may be, people are bound to lose their cool from time and time. Anger may arise when a worker doesn’t feel like their ideas are […]

Creating Blended eLearning Experiences
In my previous article, The Government’s Take on eLearning Effectiveness, blended eLearning fared well in the US Department of Education’s meta-analysis of 45 different studies of eLearning from the last decade. But what does it really take to create effective blended eLearning experiences? To get this right, it’s useful to choose a model or framework […]

The Government’s Take on eLearning Effectiveness
There’s no doubt that eLearning is a hot topic these days, and even the government is interested in more closely examining it to determine its effectiveness for delivering educational results. An important study by the US Department of Education several years back did exactly that, conducting a meta-analysis of 45 different studies that looked at […]

Boosting Emotional Intelligence
For many years, emotions were something that most people assumed were best checked at the office door. After all, bringing emotions into the work environment was seen as an unnecessary intrusion. Today, there’s a growing recognition of the fact that emotions, when managed well, may in fact support our work and even have a positive […]

Empathy Training and Why it Matters
As more organizations take emotional intelligence or EQ training seriously, there’s a growing appreciation that empathy is an integral part of the workplace. Empathy, after all, holds the potential to open doors and perhaps more importantly, to keep doors open. But what is empathy, what is empathy training, and why does it matter? Defining Empathy […]

A Model for Effective eLearning Design
Here’s how not to go about designing eLearning: Take existing instructional content and map it onto the technology you want to use. While this kind of repurposing occasionally makes sense, it’s putting the proverbial cart of delivery method choice before the more basic and essential proverbial cart of pedagogical and instructional issues. This runs the […]
