Certainty Based Marking and how it improves employee training

Spaced Repetition, gamification and microlearning: a glossary of terms
E-learning has done a huge amount to reduce the cost of training for businesses, make it easier for them to deliver and make it more convenient for employees to do. As it has exploded in popularity over the last 20 years or so, though, it has also spawned a whole raft of new learning approaches,

Can micro- & e-learning help with continuing professional development?
With a few exceptions, training is not something that should be done once and not revisited.

How eLearning content complements an LMS
In the realm of business, the realm of learning and development comes with its own set of specialized terms and expressions. While these aid in effectively communicating concepts for those in the field, they can bewilder individuals lacking expertise, leading to misuse. Two often interchanged terms, “e-learning” and “learning management system (LMS),” hold distinct meanings. This confusion arises due to some overlap and their increased usage in the internet era. To distinguish the two, it’s crucial to note that an LMS focuses on managing learning processes, whereas e-learning pertains to the actual delivery of learning materials. Here are more detailed definitions: – E-learning: knowledge acquisition using computers or similar tech – Learning Management System: software for overseeing, tracking, and reporting learning programs An LMS is one facet of e-learning and requires content to manage effectively. This is where e-learning content plays a vital role. Though an LMS can handle various learning formats, it shines in e-learning content management.

Our Five Favourite Exhibits From The Museum of Failure
Each and every day we find ourselves engaging with other people’s great ideas. We marvel at the simplicity of an idea and how well it works. We hope for inventions to address certain issues we all face. We just love a good invention. They help make life that little bit easier and, from the wheel to the smartphone, we wonder what we’d do without them. Inventors and developers spend their lives imagining new solutions and ideas and rethinking established inventions for a new use. Take someone like Trevor Baylis. Inspired by seeing a documentary in 1991 about the spread of AIDS in Africa and the need to educate and inform huge numbers of people of its dangers, he set about finding a solution. Radio was already the main method of communication across the continent, but with limited access to batteries it was largely ineffective. So, Trevor holed himself up in his garden shed to develop his idea. Pretty soon, he came up with his solution – the wind up radio. After initial rejection from suppliers, who didn’t automatically see the huge benefits of such a device, he finally secured a manufacturer. His invention eventually swept across Africa, where it is
