Effective Listening Video

Recently, I was about to ask a question. I suspected that I wouldn’t be given the answer that I was looking for, not because it was an awkward or difficult question, but because I felt the person I was speaking to didn’t really listen to what people were saying.

Effective Meetings

Meetings come in all shapes and sizes. Ones to plan, to consult, to resolve problems, and it’d be difficult to describe what ‘a typical meeting’ is.

We do know, however, that they are a vital part of the way many people do business, they’re invaluable for getting to know people and team building.

I’ll do the math(s) A look at elearning costs

When people think about using video for training, they often say that it’s too expensive.

Maybe it used to be, but I don’t think it need be anymore.

Because there’s something else that needs to be put into the equation, and that’s the time users spend taking part in a course or watching a training video.

How to use Music with Training Videos

Music and training videos can work well together, but they can also work against each other.

This blog will look at our latest videos for training and why we built them the way we did so as to avoid some of the common pitfalls.

New Online Data Protection Course

What if we did things differently? Well we did.

Let’s start at the beginning. A lot of people handle personal information and it’s important that they do so correctly. Not just because there are regulations that say you must, but because this information is personal and often sensitive.

Learning Styles – Boom and we’re live… a podcast with Raf Dolanowski

Last month Raf Dolanowski ( Raf Dolanowski Consulting) and I finally got together to record a podcast about Learning Styles. We’d had several exchanges on LinkedIn threads and decided to talk it out.

The podcast is available on Anchor here.

Constructive feedback and criticism

Do you want some constructive feedback?

Er, … no thanks.

Why not?

Well it’s not feedback, and I’m not sure what you mean by constructive.

People often talk in terms of feedback when it isn’t really feedback. It’s just criticism. So do you want some constructive criticism is still no thanks.

Videos for Trainers and Presenters

We’ve been busy over the summer making our products more affordable to different groups of users by increasing the number of ways you can now access our training videos.

One of these is what we call Trainer/Presenter. We noticed that some of our customers use our explainer videos in presentations, either within an organisation or as a real-world example, and we have tailored our content accordingly.

Go Ahead – Embed

For us, embedding video is the way to go. Uploading a training video into your elearning and running it from a normal server just isn’t the best option anymore.

I know it’s a popular way of doing things, but for us it’s the difference between an old Nokia phone and a smartphone. Yes, the Nokia had its uses, but the smartphone allows for a far superior experience.
