Each day, we experience the pain caused by unethical leaders. We don’t have to look very far to see examples of the erosion of basic ethical principles. What is considered the right and wrong way to conduct business is being challenged every day. And, the costs are staggering—monetary cost, damage to people, destroyed brand image, decreased performance, and lower productivity . . . the list goes on. In order to avoid these hidden costs of unethical behavior, organizations must commit to developing both the leadership character and the leadership skill set of their leaders. Unfortunately, we tend to only address the issue of ethical leadership at the executive level. This alone is inadequate. Beginning at the supervisory level, L&D needs to build managers’ and leaders’ character, empowering them to recognize improper actions and take steps to confront and change unethical behavior.

You probably didn’t think too much about needing marketing skills when you took on a training role!  However, for a training program to be utilized within an organization and see any ROI, it must be communicated!  Ultimately, both marketers and learning professionals want their audiences to take some specific action.

This webinar describes the differences, role, and benefits of serious learning games, simulations, and gamification. You will learn: The difference between stand-alone compared to imbedded solutions.   The instructional and organizational standards required for a sustainable offering not a one-off event.   How to demonstrate what is required for your solution to be certified.  

Are you using video in your training? This session is for you! We'll cover the legal requirements for making training video accessible, the benefits of captioning, and how to get started with captioning.

Organizations continue to use engagement studies to measure the workplace cultures. Workplace engagement studies provide a keen insight to the organization and what's occurring but equally as important what managers can do with the results to coach and drive top talent.

Regardless of economic times, funding for learning and development is always at risk. Mitigating the risk of losing resources requires a shift in thinking to one that focuses on results rather than the activity of learning. It requires a design mentality where the basis for programming begins with the Why? and the end game is not the evaluation, but the optimization of results.  

You want your managers and leaders to coach more. You know coaching is a foundational skill, one that drives both engagement and impact. When you have a successful coaching culture, teams are stronger, and results are better. But if you're like most organizations, you've struggled to get your coaching culture to flourish. In this session, you'll roll up your sleeves and blow up some of the old rules. 

Adobe Captivate or Articulate Storyline? Which is the tool for you? Both tools have great features and raving fans. Both tools also have "quirks" and critics. So how do you decide? In this session, you'll watch the same three slides built in both authoring tools so you can see for yourself how they compare.

Reports from learning specialists suggest they get excited because their microlearning lessons are shorter, faster and easier to produce.

With change, the only constant in many organizations, helping others build resilience through uncertainty is arguably one of our most important competencies as learning professionals. With seismic shifts in the world, organizations have to adapt and get ahead of changes that include:

Your organization pays a lot of money for technical talent, both salaries and certification/technical classes.  With career emphasis on coding instead of people, you may have very talented technologists who struggle to work with others. Unfamiliar with emotional intelligence and people protocol, your talented technical people may be in trouble for speaking harshly to customers and peers. It’s critical that these valuable people learn to communicate, influence and connect. You can teach that!

Today’s eLearning authoring tools offer a host of features and functions but, despite this, learners are often clicking through dull, disengaging courses. It doesn’t have to be like this! 

When you ask learning and development professionals their favorite aspects of the job, rarely does learning tool evaluation top the list. Doing a full evaluation takes time, money, and resources away from already busy schedules.  And yet evaluating learning tools is a critical step in ensuring learning is happening in your organization.

Join Adobe eLearning Evangelist Dr. Allen Partridge for this lively conversation about the latest trends in training & development. Based on recent studies and research the session will explore what people are doing in organizations around the world, and how organizations can achieve great results with modern learning programs.

You wouldn’t trust YouTube with a video that held your personal credit card information. But right now, a quick YouTube search turns up 815,000 videos for "internal meeting," 310,000 more for "product roadmap," and 168,000 for "confidential training". Hopefully, none of those are yours.

In this session attendees will learn how combining video and eLearning can create effective simulations that upskill and change behaviors. Attendees will experience first-hand award-winning video-based simulations as well as poorly constructed simulations. Attendees will then break down the anatomy of the simulation, piece by piece. 

So you've started creating responsive courses using Captivate and want to take it to the next level?
