The 5 W’s Of Creating a Training Implementation Plan

By Sanjay Nasta  |  January 13, 2022  |    |  2

Planning a Training Rollout to Better Equip Your Team. Here’s How to Get Started. A training rollout is a series of trainings offered to a targeted group to help achieve an organization’s training goals.  Planning a training rollout is a complex task, but necessary to project success. There are several items to consider when creating a training rollout. They are best framed by the famous 5 W’s: Who, What, When,[…]

8 Lessons Learned for Converting In-Person Training to Virtual Training

By Dallas Richard  |  September 2, 2020  |    |   

Some training presentations, team meetings, and event brainstorming sessions are ‘simple’ enough to move online for a virtual meetup. However, recreating a training experience that is both engaging and effective online typically requires more than uploading a PowerPoint deck to your video-conferencing platform, or building in time for participant questions.  Well before the reset to “work-from-home”, learning designers and HR professionals often struggled with how to take an existing, effective[…]

The Accessible “Zoomversity”

By Kevin Gumienny  |  June 21, 2020  |    |  1

Is your virtual training accessible? Many of us, by now, have mastered the art of virtual in-person training (sometimes known as “Zoomversity.”) But now we need to consider—is our virtual training accessible? Can it be used by people who have disabilities, such as those related to vision, hearing, mobility, or cognition? I recently presented on the idea that online training needs to be accessible—whether “live” virtual in-person training or training[…]

Online Training in the Time of COVID-19

By Kevin Gumienny  |  April 27, 2020  |    |   

This seems to be a boom time for elearning. With stay-at-home orders, social distancing, and the explosion of work-from-home, online training has experienced tremendous growth in popularity these last several weeks. Online training, of course, isn’t new—it’s been around for over a decade. Examples include the one-hour self-paced, self-study course and the instructor-led, video-based, take-it-on-your-own-time courses from universities, LinkedIn Learning, Skillshare, and numerous other providers. Is the sudden popularity (by[…]

How to engage all your learners when faced with moving training online?

Still Making Knowledge Accessible

By Sanjay Nasta  |  March 25, 2020  |    |  1

2020 has already been a year of surprises.  The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting us all: our employees and their families, our neighbors, our colleges and universities, business communities, public servants, and our daily way of life. As we all strive to keep our homes safe and sustain our businesses, we are deeply grateful and inspired by all the selfless individuals in the front lines to care for those who are[…]

A Look Back (and Forward) at Ed-Tech Trends in L&D

By Kevin Gumienny  |  January 31, 2020  |    |   

This year starts a new decade (or ends one, but let’s not restart that argument). It is a great time to look ahead and see where the influence of ed-tech trends on learning and development might take us (or where we might take learning and development).  Before looking forward, looking back offers some caution. Audrey Watters has an article on the 100 Worst Ed-Tech Debacles of the Decade. It is[…]

Technology Drivers & Elearning|Takeaways from DevLearn 2019

By Kevin Gumienny  |  November 22, 2019  |    |   

Last month I was at DevLearn in Las Vegas. As usual for a really good conference, I left with a stretched mind and new perspectives (and, as is regrettably common in a conference, there was little about documentation, or templates, or any of the other themes that I’ve recently been discussing). One thing that caught my eye was what seemed to be a recurring theme of technological determinism. That is,[…]

Effective Elearning and the Template Dilemma

By Kevin Gumienny  |  October 15, 2019  |    |   

Do you use templates when building elearning? I’m a big fan of templates (as I am of other methods of standardization). I love the idea of having a set of optimized formats for content. Plug and play, everything works with a minimum of fuss and bother. But templates can be problematic. Designers and developers want to develop new and more interesting ways to present information. They want to explore better[…]

Should My Training Team Use a Style Guide?

By Kevin Gumienny  |  September 13, 2019  |    |   

Yes. Until next time, Kevin Okay, perhaps a bit more explanation. A style guide is just one form of documentation that I talked about last month. And I’ve mentioned style guides here and there in the past. I’m a big believer in style guides. This admiration isn’t universal. Several people I’ve met think they’re too restrictive. Shouldn’t the designer have the ability to use whichever font, whichever color, whichever layout,[…]
