“The secret to success is to be ready when your opportunity comes”
For some time now, L&D has struggled for recognition within the ecosystem of an organisation, often struggling to find a seat at the boardroom table. Shackled by the belief that a classroom training session was just an excuse for a day out of the office and restricted by the monotony of click-next compliance training. Whilst CEOs crave the holy grail of demonstrable business impact and return on investment, …
Nothing quite spells the end of summer like the obligatory first day of school photos, followed by the rush to get into London to attend the annual and now increasingly “must attend” event, LearningLive. The conference has grown from strength to strength in recent years and the ability to talk to senior decision makers from L&D and Human Capital Management is particularly invaluable.
….@NetexLearning are set up and ready to go at #LearningLive. Come and speak to
In part one of this blog series I explored the changing digital landscape affecting L&D professionals today and relevance of traditional learning methodologies to the modern learner, if you missed this article you can review it here. In this follow-up piece, I want to start to take a look at how specific approaches are disrupting the status quo within the digital learning sector and re-engaging our learners.
At Netex, we like to think we are unique, for many reasons! …
I am going to start by asking the readers a question, based on the assumption that most of the audience will be involved in L&D and more specifically Learning Technologies in some way or another:
What happened the last time you were at a social event and you were asked the very British question, “So what do you do?” Invariably when I say eLearning, the response falls into one of two categories:
or perhaps “Good things come in threes”, or maybe “Three times a charm”?
But I am not here to merely quote random sayings associated with the number three! I want to look at how the combination of three elements can be utilised to produce engaging learning programmes, that really work. We as L&D professionals are under even more pressure than ever to deliver learning solutions that deliver impactful business results. But in a world of Facebook, What’s App and Twitter, …
What a show Learning Technologies 2016 turned out to be for Netex. Sandwiched between exhibiting at BETT and our own event “i-lovelearning 2016” in Madrid on February 12th, this certainly is a busy time of the year for us. But not only is this a busy time but hugely exciting too, with two new solution launches at Learning Technologies, we arrived at the show with a huge sense of anticipation…
LT16 was billed as one of …
We recently ran a session at the eLearning Network event (#beyondclicknext) in London. During our session we looked at our new Smart Content solution, which utilises learning analytics to transform the use of digital content in the classroom for both teachers and students alike. By decoupling the content from the LMS and giving teacher real time information and projected outcomes, we can promote the concept that “Content is King” and give teachers the tools to really embrace digital content as …
These are exciting times for Netex, we’re about to see the culmination of months of hard work by our developers and product team with the release of a new range of solutions. To celebrate these efforts and to have a night out at a swanky London venue, we held a launch event at the uber cool IceTank venue in the heart of London’s Covent Garden on Wednesday 7th October.
We invited clients, partners and industry experts to our first …
Summer (or the concept of…) will soon become a distant memory. Social media feeds now see pictures of beaches replaced by the obligatory shots of children in their new uniforms stood in front of doors. As our minds turn back to education and the term-time ahead, it got me thinking about how does education prepare the students of today to be the workforce of tomorrow…
There can be no doubt that children nowadays are most definitely digital natives! Just take …
As thoughts turn to mince pies, mulled wine and turkey dinners, perhaps it’s also a good time to reflect on the changes we have seen in 2014 but for the purposes of this blog, we’ll restrict these to Learning Technology changes!! Maybe slightly more interesting, how these advancements compared to what we might have predicted at the start of the year. Like any industry, when January comes along, we look at trends and innovation for the year ahead. In fact …
