There is a fundamental problem that exists in the typical business workplace today. Chances are that you or someone in your office is already painfully aware of it. We’ve seen an explosion in the number of people whose jobs are directly related to their expertise, and for whom ‘what they know’ has become a kind of ‘insurance’ plan. Have you ever heard a colleague proclaim “If I’m the only one who knows how to do this, ‘they’ can never fire […]
We all love to laugh. We’re wired that way. In fact researchers believe that laughter itself is a social behavior. The crux of the theory is that laughing is in fact a social bonding mechanism. The grunts and guffaws we make when delighted and surprised are a physical manifestation of the sudden emotional shift from alert and stressed to amused and relieved. Conventional eLearning wisdom says, avoid humor – it’s far too dangerous. You won’t have to look hard to […]

Could I poke it with a stick if I saw it? I’m originally from Wyoming. I mean that I was born in Wyoming. For those of you in the broader world, Wyoming is a rural state in the US known for its deep roots in the American West. With nostalgic links […]
Mobile Learning has become a hot-topic and therefore has been seriously laden with marketing and hype. The excitement is very understandable, but it also makes finding information about how to actually create mobile eLearning solutions (mLearning) all the more difficult. Today’s post is intended to help you cut through the hype and get down to the business of creating actual training content that can be
I just finished reading this amazing book today and I’m glad I did! I love the way Dr. Jimenez narrates the book in the form of a story which is full of events, observations and experiences. It’s like he is teaching how to create scenario-based learning courses in a scenario-based book! 🙂 Everything he talks about in the book has a small little story associated with it. I also like the cool titles he uses for the chapters, which go […]
After you’ve been creating eLearning for a while you’ll no doubt begin to find humor, or the potential for humor in the content that you develop.
