Disclaimer: This post is not about the “feedback funnel” that’s used in sales or customer relationship management. If you’re looking for that I’m afraid you’ve come to the wrong place. But you’re welcome to stay and see what I consider to be learning development’s “feedback funnel.”. Here’s a little secret. There are few things as frustrating to a learning and development (L&D) team as hearing, “We’ve got a global change” when a project is in final review.

At its core, a common scenario isn’t that difficult to craft: tell a story, ask the learner what they want to do about it, and let them know how they did. To craft a meaningful scenario, however, there are four areas—four ‘Cs’ to be specific—that you need to strategically design. Choices. Consequences. Connections. Corrections. Are you maximizing all of them?

Blended learning provides a thoughtful solution to outdated, formal training.

In spite of its popularity though, blended learning isn’t descriptive enough to help us move towards more purposeful instructional design.

Certainly you can use the Skin Editor to remove the playbar completely from a project. Alternatively, if you don't want the playbar to be available during a quiz, there are Quiz Preferences for that.

Whether it’s in the hallway of a university, hanging in a local coffee shop, or just on the wall of your family’s kitchen, cork boards are a tried-and-true method of displaying information in a conspicuous and accessible place. They’re public enough that everyone who needs to see it can, yet intimate enough so that those who aren’t implicitly affected by their announcements by being in the building aren’t.

If creating a course were easy then everyone would do it. The ones that see their course through to the end have something that the others don’t have. It’s not a specific skill or even expensive resource.
