Twenty-twenty has certainly been an eye-opening year. After months of stay at home orders, travel restrictions and social distancing, businesses are starting to wonder what their organizations will do as we approach a phase of viral response that will likely include multiple waves of varied states of alert according to the threat levels across multiple geographies. Corporate learning and development teams were quick to respond to initial changes in the working conditions of employees, but most of those responses were short term modifications to adapt quickly to the new conditions. Many have observed that a post-pandemic world may well be shaped differently. Organizations have significant financial incentives to explore shifting employees to partial or full-time remote status. The rapid eLearning industry was built on the notion that persistent, on-demand training materials could lower costs and improve access to learning content.

If you’re managing a distributed team, you know getting everyone on the same page to drive productivity is more important than ever. But depending on where you are, this could be difficult. In some states, stay-at-home orders and other restrictions are being lifted, while others are a long way from in-person meetings.

For many, the need to train employees using video has dramatically grown in importance. But for those being asked to implement it, video training can present challenges winning the support of stakeholders and producing learning that is performance-focused. 

Now more than ever, trainers and students need to know their virtual interactions are protected and secure. Join us for this webinar in which our Adobe Connect Evangelist will share best practices to keep your virtual trainings and classroom secure.

One of the biggest myths in the L&D world is that "we must train workers." Workers are inherently learners. If they are not, we would see massive job failures. In fact, workers are also relentless learners. They fix, solve and improve work issues every minute of their work day. 

In this session, attendees will gain insight from practitioners who will share their perspectives on using video to drive skill development programs. Skill development programs require: Access to and absorption of knowledge, proof of comprehension and/or demonstration, practice and mentorship, and stick-to-it-ness in order to effectively apply skills to new areas.  

For the fourth year, Training magazine and Wilson Learning Worldwide have teamed up to conduct the Annual Leadership Survey, which focuses on creating effective leaders and preparing the next generation of leaders.

Adding interactions is an integral part of building eLearning courses. These interactions can usually be triggered on a hover, click/tap, or drag. From these, the most used trigger is a click. Also, for making your courses accessible, you are required to limit yourself to using click-based interactions and refrain from including hover- or drag-based interactions.
