Training That Connects to the Learner’s Experience
An important part of good course design is ensuring that your learners can see themselves reflected in the course materials and all of the visual assets used in its development.

Colleges and Universities: Lecturing doesn’t Work
One of the prominent learning shifts we’re seeing as of late involves colleges and universities.

However, at that first eLearning conference, I realized everything I already knew about teaching/learning methodologies was still true. I just now had a different set of tools to use […]
