Instilled LXP launches in Australia
Last week I foreshadowed the launch of to the Instilled LXP in Australia. Later I had the privilege of hosting that launch and wanted to share a recording of the event. Instilled is a foretaste of the way eLearning is heading – a democratised, crowd-sourced way to have staff share knowledge in seconds and supported […]
LXP – rethinking online learning
This week I had the pleasure of launching an entirely new eLearning concept – the Instilled Learning Experience Platform (LXP). It really was not until I first saw the Instilled LXP in June this year that I realised just how dated our entire eLearning approach has become. To understand LXPs, it’s important to remember that […]
Gotta love trainers’ ingenuity!
I have to take my hat off to everyone who just completed the latest xAPI Cohort – all 650 of them! They spent 3 months “together” online for an hour a week from all over the world and learned every aspect of xAPI. What I loved most was the ingenious projects the “teams” undertook. It […]
xAPI in the real world part 2
Last week I gave some practical examples of xAPI in use. It was really well received so I thought I’d offer some more this week. This one is by GVM’s xAPI collaborators and is timely – it’s launching this week to a national Audience across the USA. (Go team!) The USA’s Department of Health chose […]
xAPI in the real world
This week I was asked why anyone would use xAPI. I’d just finished explaining that: At which point I’d lost my practically minded colleague in fog of esoteric data analytics. In part for his benefit, not to mention that of my broader audience, I thought I’d better provide a case study or two showing that […]
Are you getting typecast?
I know I am not alone in that I take great care when I hire staff; I conduct multiple interviews, set practical tasks and sometimes undertake personality profiling. I will bring my best ‘people people’ to observe each candidate closely. Like most employers, I have my favourite questions and also like most, they apply irrespective […]
Is xAPI right for me?
I am often asked whether our organisation has xAPI capability as part of a requirement for us to be engaged and when I confirm that it does, I’m then asked “so what is xAPI?” It’s a slightly funny situation I must say… Do you have it? Oh good. Err… what is it? With this blog […]
xAPI is NOT the new SCORM
I was recently reviewing a tender for an LMS. In it, was a question that does not have an answer. Pity the poor vendors attempting to respond! That question was premised on a complete misunderstanding of xAPI. – “Is the LMS both SCORM and xAPI” compatible. Well… no. I have heard this a bit and it […]
When we invent names for the obvious…
I have been thinking about the term “70:20:10”. The term itself is new and has its origins in a study in 1996 undertaken at the Center for Creative Leadership in North Carolina. In just over twenty years since then, that study has spawned a term to describe the way we learn and an increasing awareness […]
It’s not the online medium that’s the problem, it’s the attitude!
Ultimately all education and training is about knowledge transfer. Part of this is the movement of information from one party to another but knowledge is far more than information. Knowledge is about curation, assimilation and application of information to enable appropriate action within a specific context. The traditional art of knowledge transfer is teaching and […]
