"Getting by" calls for answering some age old questions in a brand-new year. As the American economy continues to try to recover, many workers begin to wonder if another round of layoffs will occur in their companies. While jobs are being added in the government sector, the growth of new jobs in the private sector has been slow.  Businesses, even those doing well, have shown a reluctance to invest when there are so many uncertainties.  
I’ve come to realize over the years that some of life’s best lessons are learned in some rather strange locations. One of the oddest places at which I’ve "gone to school" has to be the ice show at Busch Gardens in Tampa, FL. The teacher was a performer named Albert Lucas.
It’s probably occurred to you that the comedian’s art and the trainer’s art have a lot in common. Over the years, I’ve worked with Disney Institute and Disney University and their trainers a number of times. And on these trips, I take advantage of the opportunity to learn from them, as well.
Small bites content is small, standalone, useful and accessible content. More importantly, it is learningcontent needed instantly for a micro task or activity at work. 
Have you heard these urgent requests before? "Can you make it quick, please?"  "Can you tell me how I can improve immediately?"

We know bite-sized video works to deliver highly effective, targeted learning content and resources to employees.

In today’s workplace, leaders and their teams have far too many shifting or competing priorities to manage effectively.  Challenges of all kinds can keep them from achieving desired results: inability to identify top priorities, constant distractions, pressure to multi-task, rambling meetings, email overload, 24/7 mobile technology, the inability to say "no," and many others.
Research shows that 84% of organizations are spending less than 5 cents of every learning dollar on exploring, acquiring and deploying informal initiatives, yet modern learners prefer informal methods.
There is a whole classification of eLearning development tools that install themselves as new ribbons in PowerPoint.
Feedback is a powerful intervention for improving human performance. Everyone gives and receives feedback every day in the workplace. Given appropriately, feedback can enhance a person’s motivation, competency, and self-image. Given inappropriately, feedback can leave a person feeling resentful, patronized, confused, stupid, and ashamed.
In nearly every organization, leaders are being held accountable to do something they cannot do-motivate others. Leaders can't motivate people, because people are already motivated. The question is not if a person is motivated but why.  
How do you make off-the-shelf content more engaging for your learners? You’ve got the content, but how do you get learners interacting with new concepts and applying them to their real jobs as soon as possible?
Coaching is a powerful and underutilized technique for improving human performance. Every manager can coach others to achieve mutual goals.  Coaching serves different purposes including building competence, encouraging teamwork, securing trust, setting expectations, and measuring success. Different contexts can benefit from different approaches to coaching.

The comparison between training games and videos (or lectures, or textbooks, or e-learning, or webinars, or any other training technique) is as meaningless as comparing apples and oranges.
Motivation is the energy that accelerates behavior. Often trainers and instructional designers devote a lot of effort in designing reward strategies, convinced that finding the right reward for the right participant will endow the participant with the motivation to learn. Many of us think of motivation as a "carrot and stick" kind of enterprise, with the mechanism influencing motivation located externally. This chapter will help trainers to choose whether to use reward strategies, and if so, how to use them wisely, with a greater understanding of the consequences of their choices.
Whether you deliver online or in-person training, there is nothing more powerful than managers who support training with well delivered coaching.
In this session, you will learn how to link a learning content strategy that relies upon bite-sized video to organizational objectives. The specific elements of a video strategy each guide a range of choices from how to incorporate the power of storytelling through video to achieve these objectives to decisions about specific video types, styles and delivery tools.

Yes! You can make your technical elearning fun and exciting. How do you accomplish this?  Discover  the "Beng, Beng and Boink Learning," (BBBL) design approach. Most technical training and design aim for the perfect world. The trouble starts when learners are unable "to make" sense of the training because they can not touch, feel and manipulate the content.  The BBBL method is a metaphorical theme surrounding learning by problem-solving, diagnostics and troubleshooting. It’s essential in trial-and-error and discovery learning.
