Reinforce learning by harnessing the power of interactive video! Increase engagement and provide opportunity for learners to test their knowledge by incorporating interactions and questions at pause points during an interactive video.  

Who you are and why the rest of the world should want to do business with you is one of the most important keys to your success--it’s all about your personal brand! But like anything else, care must be taken to ensure that it is properly developed, maintained, and refreshed as needed.  

You’ve worked endless hours (including nights and weekends) prepping for this training session. You’ve set up the room (physical or virtual), welcomed participants and successfully started your session. Then it happens. The dreaded "problem children" start to emerge.

Coupling instructionally sound content with appropriate graphics helps in providing an incredibly amazing learning experience! It instills a new life to the content you are covering in an eLearning course.

Did you know that 35% of all U.S. adults visit YouTube first to learn something new*? Video continues to grow in popularity as the preferred medium for learning.

Many experts estimate 90 % of top performers have a high EQ (Travis Bradberry) and according to workplace strategies for mental health stated 91 % of managers & leaders stated they needed to improve their emotional intelligence.

You have something important to teach people, but they're not paying attention. And surveys have shown that only 25% of course material actually improves learners’ performance. Why aren't people learning from or engaging with your coursework? Turns out, it's likely because you're not letting people fail enough. In this session, award-winning instructional designer Scott Provence discusses the surprising studies and research that shows how we actually learn more when we get things wrong.  

We face today with uncertainty and volatile work environments. Workers have to emotionally adjust to new remote conditions and rapid changes in work expectations or learning static content. The usual information-dump method - does not help better performance or empower workers to face today's challenges. Furthermore, the platforms that support this method are restrictive and confining Thus learners’ learning quickly becomes irrelevant to the business demands.  For example, as we remotely train about policies, products, skills and processes and compliance topics, the "content and knowledge only" type of learning is no longer sufficient.  

The global pandemic has clearly made a significant impact on Learning & Development teams for organizations around the world. The acceleration of long sought programs to virtualize educational experiences is at the heart of most responses to the epidemic.  We asked eight hundred CLO's and Directors of Learning how their organizations were handling the virtualization in the context of the pandemic.

Creating accessible online courses provides an opportunity for people with disabilities to learn successfully. Additionally, developing compliant courses reach a larger more inclusive audience, and it can be a legal issue. In the US, Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 requires that government and educational organizations make learning accessible (including eLearning). eLearning developers need to take into consideration creating eLearning that is accessible to people who are blind or visually impaired, deaf or hard of hearing, physically disabled, and developmentally disabled.

Budgets are tight in this new pandemic economy. If you’re in charge of training a sales team, you know how hard it is to justify any new investment in your program these days.

You can’t do your job if you don’t know what’s going on.  So, you gather your team for a mandatory staff meeting.  Maybe they grumble and complain about how this impedes their autonomy, or maybe they gleefully prepare dog-and-pony slides in which they play the hero. Either way, you end up sitting through a meeting where each of your team members answers the unasked question of "how’s it going" in his or her own way, and you’re left to decode what’s really happening, what problems they’re glossing over, and what results you can actually expect next week, next month, and next quarter. 

In this session, we'll discuss how you can use the flexibility and functionality available to you in the online environment to effectively design corporate learning experiences. We'll focus on best practices and tools you can use to take your content to the next level and motivate your employees to engage with the professional development opportunities that are available to them. By exploring how to make the most of the learning experiences you're offering your employees, you can empower your teams to grow and adapt to a continuously changing work environment. Encouraging employees to upskill in this manner results in a boost in engagement and an increased skillset that can be directly applied to an individual's work and benefit the organization as a whole.

In this webinar, a PowerPoint crackhead shares his mania with all of you.   It’s an addiction, we admit the need to do everything more quickly, with fewer moving parts, and less manual repetition. Let PowerPoint do the heavy lifting for you! Microsoft spent billions of dollars streamlining the Office interface to be fast and efficient, but not too many use any of the really cool features. 

Are you looking for creative ways to maximize virtual classroom tools, and get ideas to create interactivity and engagement in your virtual classes? Join us in a 30-minute "sprint" encore presentation by Cindy Huggett to gain new ideas and a fresh perspective on using virtual classroom platform tools. You’ll leave with several ready-to-use activity ideas that can be immediately put to use in your own classes. Note that this session is limited to the first 400 registrants!

Gamification is a hot concept in the e-learning world. We know we have to engage and keep learners learning. We know people struggle to find time to take classes, go to conferences, and generally engage in professional development. And we know that easily more than half of the workforce was raised in a gaming culture. So it seems like gamification is a one-size-fits-all solution.

You have some amazing presentation material and handouts that you generally use for the face-to-face training and now you need to quickly convert them to eLearning courses.

With work from home and social distancing, email prospecting has become more important than ever and how you write your emails has changed significantly. Remember the rule to put the call to action right at the front? Not any longer. How about the rule to forget what your second-grade teacher taught you? Now you have to remember it!  

Sales training and enablement is tougher than ever before. Whether your sales force is across the street or across the country, you’re working overtime to support your team.  

Forget Photoshop and pricey stock photography—you already have everything you need to create professional looking image-centric slides in PowerPoint.

US companies spent 15 billion on sales training in 2018 according to LinkedIn’s State of Sales Report. For companies who didn’t focus on management training to make that training stick, they likely lost up to 13.5 billion of that investment to the Forgetting Curve- where up to 90% of new information is lost within a week of their training ending.

In this webinar, Clark Aldrich will discuss his new book, Short Sims, A Game Changer.   Short Sims are quick, engaging, "learning to do" online learning content.  They are how online learning may have evolved if PowerPoint had never been created.

Do you need to quickly convert your traditional classes to the virtual classroom? Are you wondering how to translate your classroom activities to the online environment? Are you looking for creative ways to maximize virtual classroom tools? And get ideas to create interactivity and engagement in your virtual classes?
