While many L&D professionals believe that the learning landscape will never return to pre-COVID conditions in terms of their learning strategy, investment, and resourcing, most agree that the pandemic has changed the approach to training and performance support—forever. An even smaller group (which includes me) thinks these changes are for the better. And, even IF […]
Using Microlearning for Performance Support
Performance support has always been an important part of a successful workplace. Even as far back as 1990, Gloria Gery wrote a landmark book that defined EPPS (Electronic Performance Support Systems). And yet, 30 years later we are still talking about it as if it is a new concept. Even the earliest computer-based training (CBT) […]

Old Stand-And-Deliver Training Vs. Digital Learning
A decade ago, I went to my first eLearning conference and I was convinced that I knew nothing—everything I had ever know about teaching/learning had to be tossed aside. 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 […]
