Can’t get enough Chips
How do you keep up with technology? It moves so fast. And then there are the ups and downs. I was struggling during the week to get good internet speed and spent 1 hour on the phone to a very helpful technician trying to track the problem down. Then I read this article about a…

Teaching intuition – is it possible?
The great challenge of training is not training skills or knowledge but behaviours, attitudes and personal attributes such as integrity, professionalism, creativity and intuition. Some of these examples can be approached from a skill and knowledge platform for example training participants in creativity techniques or exposing participants to theory and research on ethics and integrity…

Viral Training, is it possible?
I just liked this video (see below). I am puzzled by the whole viral thing though. Why does one video gets more hits than another? Some of my own training videos have had a lot of hits (nothing really compared to a viral video) while others have had very little and I can’t work out…

Training in five years will be significantly different!
This just popped up this morning. It s always a good idea to keep your eye on other fields as they will have an impact on training and education. One of them is unfortunately Politics and currently I am disgusted with the ridiculous infighting of our so called leaders. Another field that will definitely have…

Another one bites the dust!
I heard the rumour months ago but Kodak has now finally declared bankruptcy. How could this happen especially when they created the first digital camera. Unfortunately they didn’t keep responding and changing to the changing world of photography and film. Now they do not exist. Could this happen to training companies? Could this happen to…

Plethora of elearning sites
Love that word – plethora. In this case it is a fitting word. There are a plethora of elearning sites popping up all over the world. Running training onsite, or off site or as in this case through video coaching. Check this one out, Coachy. It is brand new and just getting started but it…

The new year and new ideas – skillshare
The skillshare site has been flagged as a must watch startup online company. Interestingly it isn’t about elearning but a site which links learners with learning programs that they are interested in and which are near to them. Check it out. It isn’t opened in Australia yet but……. Would you use it?

The New Year of training or more of the same?
Who really knows what will happen this year? All the predictions, 50/50 at best I would estimate. Most of the education and training predictions will most likely be less that 50/50. They are generally wrong. What are you going to do this year? What are your plans? What are you going to do different? What…
