Present-day digital design offers unlimited options to all those who want to use their imagination and create something unique and with great impact. Infographics are top trend of the day since they have been around and powerful for quite some time it’s safe to assume, they will be riding the popularity wave for a while.

Some of the most common causes for a not so great deployment of a new micro-learning program are: hasty planning, failure to meet expectations and inability to sustain the long-term goals of the individuals and the organization. Let’s explore how L&D professionals can overcome these challenges.

Since corporate training is mainly focused on providing essential information and developing relevant skills, it needs to look into what it takes to overcome the (otherwise very natural) forgetting curve and work on delivering memorable modules.

If the LMS is still the central platform for all having to do with corporate formal learning, an LRS and xApi are basically the intertwined tools that can harness the potential of all informal learning people do while at work or in their spare time.

Learning Analytics are obviously the future. Not all companies may be prepared for it just yet and that’s why this particular approach is optimal. The crawl phase is easy to implement and will give an authentic feel of what these new technologies are and what they can do.

Knowledge transfer is never an effortless process that happens spontaneously within an organization. There are many factors that work against it, but L&D professionals can create training materials that can support learners in overcoming all of these roadblocks.

Corporate learning often resembles this sort of artificial design meant to incorporate a little of everything and leave little or no room for personalization.

Making a mobile-friendly e-learning interface is all about maximizing the platform and minimizing clutter. After all, aside from medium-specific considerations, there are not many differences between learning via desktop computer and learning with a handheld device. Check out a few things that you have to consider if you’re aiming to make your e-learning interface mobile friendly.

As the year is coming to a close, there is one thing concerning corporate learning that holds specialists’ attention and that is the road it seems to be taking in the following year. It’s obvious that like all things digital, e-learning is subject to constant transformation, upgrading and becoming increasingly user-centered. Let’s just say 2019 will be a great year to be (and learn) online.

Delivering good-quality training has become more of a challenge than it used to be and L&D departments are being asked to do more with limited resources. In this context, outsourcing training or buying off-the-shelf programs has a certain appeal. This practice is a stable tendency for today’s organisations. The key to doing it well is careful planning, attention to detail and an unrelenting attitude towards quality.
