I’ll bet you’re not surprised to hear that the answer is "it depends". Let’s look at a possible scenario. We’ll use as an example a growing company with 500 employees that needs an eLearning module on regulatory compliance that all employees must complete. The three options they explore are to build it themselves, to purchase a generic library course at $20.00/learner or to have a custom content developer build a highly interactive course module just for them for the cost of $15,000. They reject the first option because they wisely recognize that they lack the skills and resources they need to do it well. So, for option two the math looks simple. 500 X $20= $10,000. Clearly less expensive than option three, right? Yes, for year one, but remember, we said that they are growing so let’s say they add 100 employees a year for the next 5 years. That’s an additional 500 and an additional $10,000. So now the total investment in the library course is $20,000 and growing each year. Meanwhile the custom content is still $15,000.
But "wait", you say, "regulations change. The course will need to be updated" You are right but our experience has been that on average the changes, when they do come are quite small, costing less than $500 per update. So let’s say that over the course of the five years the module needs to be updated twice. So the total investment in the custom course is $16,000. They’re still ahead.
Now let’s say that all employees need to retake the module every two years. Hold on now, the math gets complicated:
Learners
Catalog
Custom
Year 1
500
$ 10,000
$ 15,000
Year 3
700
$ 14,000
$ 3,500
Year 5
900
$ 18,000
$ 3,500
Total
$ 42,000
$ 22,000
So it looks like, in this case, things have tilted toward custom content from a price standpoint alone. (There are lots of other benefits to custom content but we’ll cover them elsewhere) I guess I should explain what the $3500 is under custom in years 3 and 5. That is the cost of refreshing the module. It’s more than just minor updates. It’s building a couple new interactions or a new scenario. It’s replacing a video message from the CEO. It’s that kind of thing. We surely don’t want people having to take exactly the same course over and over even if there are two years in between completion.
I admit that this is a simplistic scenario and there are a number of variables that are not accounted for. For example, most catalog providers offer sliding scales for usage and for length of contract. That said, I believe the point is a valid one. Custom content requires more upfront money but in many cases is less expensive over time.

One of the most common types of travel is taking a road trip, which is a trip by car or other vehicle using roadways in a given country to travel from destination to destination.
Road trips can be of any length, but usually they are relatively long, involving travel on interstate highways or expressways, and can involve staying at hotels, camping, or taking shifts while driving to reach the final destination.
One of the common things people do on road trips is to take photographs along the way, and here’s 30 road trip photographs to inspire you:

Comprehensively defining eLearning can be a challenging and daunting prospect. But in his article, "Starting an eLearning Program - Here Are The Basics," (2015) Ted Stoecker does just that. In addition, Stoecker makes the world of eLearning accessible to organization leaders and managers who are looking to increase the effectiveness of training. He also addresses other important aspects of eLearning programs, such as cost, user-friendliness, and some of the challenges faced by organizational decision-makers who are grappling with the dynamic arena of employee training.
eLearning is a phenomenon of the technological age. Even so, this technical approach to training may seem futuristic. In fact, we are increasingly dependent on technology to learn new information, or to augment information that we already have. Broadly stated, even those of us who were trained by shadowing a senior employee have used more modern methods to augment what we’ve learned at the workplace. A large percentage of the general population uses mobile technology, and uses mobile devices to query, and obtain, information. This is even more pronounced when one considers Millennials: an entire generation of people for whom technology is simply part of the fabric of daily living. So, while employing an eLearning program for training a new generation of employees is a must, it is fast becoming vital to effectively training our existing workforce as well.
eLearning can be used to provide the information that is common to the entire industry of Logistics and Warehousing. Federal and State regulations, health and safety guidelines, general equipment operations and other standard operational practices can all be taught using training programs customized for that use. The eLearning program can also be customized for organization- or even department-specific needs. Such is the flexibility and adaptability of eLearning.
Rather than creating and developing an entire department within your organization to address this aspect of training, talk to an eLearning specialist about the programs and methods that work best for you and your organization. The original article was posted on the P&O blog, an e-learning resource for the distribution and manufacturing industry. To read the whole article on how eLearning can enhance the effectiveness of your training programs click here.

One of the most popular types of applications, both web and mobile, are music applications. People love music, and especially being able to listen to it anywhere, anytime, whether they are on the go, or at their computer.
As such, it’s important to have a creative app interface that is friendly for both mobile, web and desktop, and that gives access to the music features users want. This challenge makes music app design a great study topic for designers.

What is Millennialish? Well, let’s be honest: we made that one up. But when we say "Millennialish,", we mean more than just the language of Millennials. It’s a worldview — a mindset — of an entirely new generation that is now entering the workforce.
Let’s face it: those of us who have been in the workforce for a while may have noticed that there are some new kids on the block. Those of us who have been paying closer attention may notice that they’re… rather different. And it’s not just the violently purple, green, cobalt or red hair. They dress differently, they communicate differently, they think differently. They use English words, yet it sometimes seems like they’re speaking another language. They "BTW," "IDK" and "LOL" their way through the day, connecting through phones and devices more than they seem to connect in person. Apparently it is even possible for these folks to "ROTFL." These are the young people of the Millennial generation. And they’ve been creating quite a stir in the professional journals since they started entering the workforce. In case you need it, a dictionary of text messaging abbreviations is available here.
Meet the Millennials: the next generation of young folks who are the new-hires of the present and the future. This series, "Do You Speak Millennialish…" looks at the training issues that arise when 2 distinct mindsets coexist in the same workspace. We’ll look at some of the potential barriers to realizing training objectives and goals that can come between people from either side of a generational divide. And we’ll discuss the impact of recognizing, and creating space for the new worldview that Millennials represent.
Here’s an interesting point: the need to classify Millennials as Millennials is a terribly un-Millenniallish thing to do. Categorizing and classifying societal groups of people in a population is a practice common to previous generations. Millennials themselves tend to be far more cosmopolitan, accepting and community-oriented. This is a generation that grew up surrounded by the world-wide web: the world is literally at their fingertips. Their upbringing included internet access to an entire planet’s cultures, religions, ideologies. Most Millennials in the workforce are profoundly unconcerned with age, sex and gender, dress codes, ethnicity and religion, and other distinctions which helped define the world for us more senior types. Being accepting is a common value for Millennials. Community, innovation and creative ways of looking at issues is a practice far more common than with previous generations. And this allows for a level of individuality and personal self-expression previously reserved for the likes of Cyndi Lauper, Cher, and Prince.
Those of us who are Gen-X and older may still think of cellphones and tablets as "gadgets" and "toys." And we have varying degrees of a love-hate relationship with our devices. Millennials, grew up with internet technology the way the rest of us grew up with light switches. It’s part of the background of life. Whether it pertains to work, play, leisure or personal interest, almost any piece of information can be obtained from the internet, instantly accessible by one device or another. Most Millennials cannot conceive of a time when people didn’t communicate globally, and instantly.
This all has a profound impact on learning in general and eLearning in particular. In this series, we’ll check out how "traditional" training methods impact this new generation of employee. And we’ll explore the vital role of technology in training, both for Millennials, and for the workforce at large. We’ll look at matching the content and delivery methods of eLearning to the attitudes and mindsets of the Millennial employee. And we’ll also take a look at the "why" of developing innovative ways to train all employees.
In the next blog post, we’ll talk about how our time-honored, traditional training methods affect the Millennials in our workforce, and the impact that effect has on our organizations. We’ll also look at creating eLearning systems that speak to, and incorporate, Millennials’ core values. We’re looking forward to discussing training and eLearning for Millennial with you.

Have you ever watched one of those really great documentaries? You know, the kind where you’re pulled into the material, even if you may not be terrifically interested in the topic to begin with? Then you suddenly find you’re able to have a really intelligent conversation about the topic later. How did that happen? It’s simple: you were entertained, and the creators captured, and held your attention.
That’s one of the ways that eLearning works. Learning is fun and engaging, even entertaining. You retain more. And it’s effective.
Think back to your first day on your first job. You might have participated in an orientation, during which management addressed you as a new hire. You might have gotten a tour of the company. You would have been given handbooks and manuals, and reviewed those folders throughout your orientation experience. You would have sat through lectures about policies and procedures. You might have been one of several people in that batch, or you may have been a single new hire for your specific position. Having completed that part of the training, you would then "shadow" someone for a period of time, then eventually take on the full responsibilities of your job. And you would have gone through the process dutifully and confidently — perhaps even stoically — hoping that you would eventually feel comfortable with your coworkers and colleagues, and with your new position and accountabilities.
If you’re a Millennial entering the workforce, you would find the above scenario frustrating, and in a word, boring.
And boring almost inevitably leads to employee turnover. Which costs. A lot!
Resources that are spent hiring, training and developing new employees often walk right out the door because the employee is not satisfied with his or her experience of that company, and they leave. That experience begins on day one of training.
Consider that the Millennial generation has no qualms about seeking employment elsewhere if they don’t experience immediate satisfaction with their job. And satisfaction to this new generation means: a personal connection to what they are doing, a company that shows it cares, interactive learning, and way to discuss their training socially. Embedded within these core values is a need to trust their employer, and to be well-informed about the company with whom they are working. In addition, Millennials are resourceful, independent and adventurous.
So how does an employer effectively harness the power of eLearning for a new generation? It’s actually very simple: find out what Millennials need, and address those needs.
First, present the material in an engaging, even entertaining way. eLearning blurs the line between entertainment and training. This is not to say that everything is a sitcom. But, communicating the content in everyday language allows for a space of relatedness between the organization and its employees. Many eLearning systems employ scenarios or real-life situations as teaching tools. Learners experience and participate in the training rather than simply "downloading" the information into their brains.
Next, break up the learning content into bite-sized chunks of information, rather than a huge lump of lessons or lectures. Vary the presentation. Only a few people from any generation learn effectively if presented with an hour-long lecture. Different characters, changing screens, even changing background music, can all enhance and enliven the learning experience.
Further, make room for interactivity. Allow for learners to discuss the material. Learners can review the material independently, and also as a community. Include "knowledge checks" in the Learning Management System so that learners can track their own progress. This gives each person the experience of personal involvement in their training process.
Along the way, be aware of the flexibility and informal nature of eLearning. This provides a low-pressure, highly effective way of learning important and vital information for all employees, not just Millennials. In turn, this means that all employees can receive ongoing training as the company grows and adapts to a changing world. Additionally, creating ways to engage your learners gives the impression that the organization cares about what their employees are learning, and how they are learning it.
People respond very positively when they know that their organization cares.
In our next blog post, we’ll talk about how eLearning benefits people by developing skills and skill sets. We’ll look at eLearning in terms of personal and professional growth.

Doors are an important part of architectural and structural design, as well as for functionality of buildings. Doorways are openings in a wall, usually large enough for people to pass through, that can have a moving divider that can open or close.
Doors come in all shapes and sizes, such as wooden, wrought-iron, or even fiberglass for vehicle doors. Most of us rely on doors on a daily basis to provide added shelter, safety, and protection.
Doors and doorways work conceptually and visually well in photography, and can make a great focal point:

One of the best ways to promote an event is using flyers. Flyers catch people’s attention, and they can be taken (either as a whole, or with a tear off) as a way of being a reminder at a later time.
To have a truly effective flyer marketing campaign, the flyer needs to be eyecatching and well designed. But not all of us want to have a custom design done, which can be expensive and time consuming.
To get you started, here’s 10 eyecatching free event poster PSDs that you can download and use.

Dolls are models or replicas of humans or other characters, often used for display or as toys. Dolls can range from looking like toys or almost caricatures, to incredibly realistic and lifelike in appearance.
Dolls have been around for centuries, and have been used as toys for dress-up for most of that time. Dolls have also occasionally been thought to possess power, such as through the idea of voodoo dolls that can transfer pain onto a person.
In this post, we’ll look at 30 mesmerizing doll photographs:

Retro design, or design that is based on using elements from previous years and reimagining them in current design, is an incredibly popular design style for web, print and other types of graphic design.
While many people think retro design are simply designs from the past, in truth, retro design relies on design principles, techniques, and styles from the past but utilizes them with modern design to create a wholly original effect.
In this post, we’ll look at some inspiring retro web designs:

When most of us think about the beach, we think about a sandy, warm, relaxing and serene destination that is fit for a vacation postcard. Not all beaches in the world are like this, however.
Beaches are formed where the ocean or another large body of water meets land, and can be either sandy, rocky, or grassy, and they are found around the world both in warm and cool climates.
Beaches do have a certain scenic, relaxing feeling to them regardless of where they are located, and they also make for great destinations for photographers looking to capture the idyllic moment:
