We all know that people love to learn from videos. But retention occurs on a deeper level when learners interact with content. With Adobe Captivate you can create interactive videos by adding informative or knowledge check overlay slides. Additionally, you can create bookmarks in the timeline to direct learners viewing experience by returning them to a specific point in the video and/or provide customized feedback. When you add interactive video, your learners are not only more engaged, but you can measure how your learners experience your content.

Choosing the right content for a diverse workforce of learners is time-consuming and difficult. How do you navigate all the choices out there? What content will resonate with different learning styles and increase engagement? How do you identify the right content for the right audience at the right moment?

It’s hard to find the perfect vendor in the oversaturated learning technology market (700+ LMS vendors alone). How do you know they’ll be the perfect fit without trying a demo? Who has the time to try hundreds of demos? What’s a Chief Learning Officer (CLO) to do? You need a cheat sheet. This guide will help you narrow down the musthave learning technology features to drive business growth. At the end of the day, you don’t need the perfect piece of learning technology, you need the right fit for your business. Unfortunately, learning technology traditionally focused on only one business segment—employee education. But today, companies use education to build their brands, foster communities, or generate revenue. That’s where traditional learning technologies fall short: they won’t deliver results for these new business models. There are three broad categories for education in the corporate learning space: Training companies and associations sell education programs to individuals or businesses to help them master professional skills, sometimes demonstrating mastery through a certification or credential. Extended enterprise is your network of learners who are not employees but require training on your products or services to be successful. This includes customers, channel partners, contractors, or franchisees. Employee education programs train the employees working for your business. This may include internally developed or off-the-shelf courses (or both). With this guide, you’ll be able to identify the non-negotiable features your business needs to be successful.

The transition to digital learning had always been promised, however, the timelines have been accelerated due to Covid-19 crisis. Digital learning has also started to redefine the structure of the Learning and Development teams. In recent research conducted by CLO Magazine, 72% of the respondents said they had increased the use of learning platforms and 67% had increased frequency of communications and collaboration. Remote learning can be a nebulous territory as several questions crop up. How exactly are learners accessing the training? How much time do they have to spare for the training? Can part of the training be delivered in asynchronous mode? The role of L&D has also undergone a shift in tandem with these changing trends - as the learning teams now need to be more digitally savvy than ever to identify not just the right content but also the right delivery mechanism.  

A skilled facilitator can make or break the success of a hybrid learning event. Hybrid learning - classes that have a mixture of in-person and online audiences -- is the new norm for many organizations. Facilitators are being asked to accommodate learners in multiple locations at the same time.  

For Learning & Development teams, they're the most important weeks of any employee's tenure: The first two, when knowledge transfer is critical for getting new hires up to speed, And the last two, when it's imperative to preserve a departing employee's institutional knowledge
