Recent learning trend reports tell of a move from push models of learning to a pull model. But what does that actually mean? And what do you need to do to make sure your learning pulls people in and even achieves that elusive 'viral' quality? Push and pull are terms that are very familiar to web content strategists and marketers. However, many …
How one ‘aha’ moment led to a whole new normal. Neuroscientists who've been studying creativity and insight for the past ten years recently located the part of the brain where the ‘eureka’ moment takes place. Here's what it looks like on a scan.

'You can't drive change, but you can inspire change'. This is the mantra that’s stuck in my mind when I think about this year’s Employee Engagement Summit. That, and if you not only inspire but empower employees – they will create a change for your business, from the inside out. Seems kind of obvious but it’s not necessarily inherent to all businesses. …
How do you create learning that works and that people want to use? Start by getting to know your audience by talking with them and using data that informs you about what they do, like, and learn. Only once you’re under their skin can you design for them. But with learning audiences in their 100s and 1000s, you’ll need to pull that knowledge into a …
Social media - when done right can be your gateway to reaching thousands of people in one tweeting swoop.

Every year at Kineo, we interview a group of our customers – taking a slice of the market and sharing those insights back with you. This year’s Learning Insights 2015 report, has loads of nuggets. But rather than recap them all here, I want to dig into the one that I’ve been thinking the most about, which was our very first question. We asked, 'What’s …
Changing people's behaviours and forming new habits is not easy. Even with an amazing, motivating, inspiring learning intervention, old habits can creep back and noble intentions to change be forgotten. Alas, do we give up? No. Instead, go for a campaign approach to beat the forgetting curve, take learning deeper, and form new habits.
I always look forward to reading Kineo’s annual Learning Insights report . Combined with other similar annual reflections (e.g. Towards Maturity Industry Benchmark), such publications provide an insightful assessment for me on where learning is, where it is going and how can I navigate there. Peel back the layers Learning is an ever-changing …

The cliché goes that good things come in small packages. But can microlearning – where learners build their learning in short bursts – deliver the same depth as longer modules? Here are some thoughts on what microlearning needs to do to deliver richness alongside convenience, whether part of a program or as standalone nuggets.
The eLearning Guild always puts on a great show, and this year’s Learning Solutions 2016 in Orlando, Florida was no exception.

Our focus this year was the launch of ManagementPlus , our new solution geared towards developing skills …
It’s a content jungle out there. If you want to check a fact, get a video tutorial or see if someone has answered your burning question, what do you do? Just google it. Even those of us old enough to remember getting the Encyclopaedia Britannica volumes off the shelf to help with homework think nothing of googling when we’re stuck for a solution. …
Analytics. Fills some with joy, and others with data dread. If you don’t come from a technical background, the idea of data analysis can bring on the need for a holiday. But data is key to understanding your audience and improving your offering. If personalisation is on your radar, data should be too. Here's five top data tips for getting started.
We're in the great age where content is more aligned with what learners are asking for. They want short, sharp, multi-device content on the go, right? But content that's easy to swallow doesn't necessarily make better learning. Might we confuse short content with time well spent, and forget to provide deep learning that sticks?
When you’ve put lots of time, energy and imagination into designing excellent L&D, don’t you want to shout about it? Wouldn’t it be great to have an award that’d help you celebrate and get recognition? The Princess Royal Training Awards is a new honour for employers who have created outstanding training and skills development programmes.
They say that behind every great leader is an equally great other half. We think the same can be said of apprenticeship schemes. We love to create innovative elearning solutions that keep learners truly engaged but it’s important to remember that no matter how good the content is, the system powering the delivery of that learning can make or break …
