Premier Portal for Professionals Since 1995, Covering Technology-Based Education
We know the processes and demands of L&D and HR are changing — as professionals, we hear it everywhere. The skills gap is growing, technological advancements are displacing workers, AI continues to change the way teams operate, and the list goes on. And all the while, expectations for learning leaders continue to grow. But here’s the […]
Organizations spend billions of dollars each year on leadership development. Yet research has shown that many of these programs don’t seem to work — they fail to help individuals develop the sorts of dynamic, collaborative leadership skills needed for today’s work. Harvard Business Review
Competency-based education (CBE) is an approach that evaluates the mastery of learning from a performance basis, rather than a seat-time basis. A CBE learner can capitalize on his or her experience from educational settings, work environments, or avocational background to demonstrate proficiency through prescribed academic and industrial outcomes. Utilizing a case study approach, this paper […]
Research on computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) has traditionally investigated how student-, group-, task-, and technological characteristics affect the processes and outcomes of collaboration. On the other hand, cognitive load theory has traditionally been used to study individual learning processes and to investigate instructional effects that are present during individual learning (e.g., expertise reversal effect). In […]
The training resource management system, also known as a training management system, has quickly become a primary layer in the learning tech stack. Focused on the optimization of critical instructor-led training (ILT) activities for corporate L&D departments, training companies, and extended enterprise, training management software is a back-end solution that helps training organizations reduce operating […]
We seem to have a natural tendency to procrastinate. And while we hate feeling watched, it does improve our performance. Not so much for stress levels and corporate comfort.

Association for Talent […]
The primary way L&D can make an impact in this age of automation and AI is by leading what either is now (or soon will be) a massive need for upskilling and reskilling. At various times, different roles in an organization have the opportunity to step up and be heroes—whether by performing what they regularly […]
One of the challenges in teaching leadership knowledge and skills is the limited opportunity to apply theory into practice. Bringing real life dynamics into the classroom is often time taking and demanding. As a result, teaching of leadership often emphasizes theories primarily through lectures, personality assessments, and case studies of CEOs (Ferris, 1998; Antonacopoulou, & […]
A great deal of literature in leadership studies focuses on “what” to teach in regard to leadership (Komives, Lucas, & McMahon, 2013; Northouse, 2014), “how” to effectively teach leadership (Collinson & Tourish, 2015; Rosch & Anthony, 2012), the educators “who” teach leadership (Jenkins & Owens, 2016; Seemiller & Priest, 2015), and even “where” leadership can […]
