Random ramblings that might, or might not, relate to training, learning, development, and management

Author: andrewjacobslnd

An L&D Manager, determined that Learning and Development should be an integral part of business activity. Too often managers ask for training as an afterthought, and, since L&D haven't been involved in the design, it fails. Let's get L&D included as an intrinsic part of business practice; we need to demonstrate its value, successes, and how it adds to the business performance.

I mentioned yesterday that we’re getting design wrong for asynchronous learning. There are some core principles to be included in the way we need to think about design – the first of these is interaction. Interaction covers a few relationships and each need to be addressed differently when we design for asynchronous learning support. The… Read More Asynchronous Interaction
