Corporate eLearning Development

Frequently in the U.S., when we talk about culture, we are speaking of what we commonly refer to as diversity. For most Americans, the term diversity reflects the socio-cultural makeup of our workplace.  However, when GPI speaks of localization, we are typically referring to adapting educational materials for people in other countries.  Thus, when you submit classroom or online training courses to us for localization, we request information from you about the targeted learners because we use...Read Full Story

Well, here I am sitting at my desk really wishing I was at mLearnCon again this year. It has moved from San Diego up to San Jose for it's second year and I'm banking on it being a whole lot bigger with the ever-increasing popularity of mobile learning. Seeing as I can't be there in person, I'm glued to the backchannel and am once again amazed at the people that can live blog a session and not only does it makes sense, but it has no spelling mistakes! Now that's real skill. Right now...Read Full Story

Anyone who uses e-learning courses will tell you that when running down your check-list of desired  features, one aspect not to be ignored is how easy or difficult it is to integrate your existing learning materials into the course you want to create. An LMS’s ease of integration will speed up course creation and allow you greater flexibility with the kinds of materials you offer your learners. In choosing an LMS, integratability is key. You’re not creating learning modules in a vaccuum. You...Read Full Story

Greetings, worldwide Litmos community!This was going to be a post on the nuts and bolts of Adobe Captivate, but... it's not. A few people have asked me what I meant by choosing an eLearning philosophy (subtle, gently probing, questions like "What are you talking about, fool?"). OK," philosophy" was a bit grandiose. We, the people of Litmos, are nothing like these four guys you see at left.Philosophy? The idea is to pick an initial set of guidelines or principles for development. As long as...Read Full Story

Greetings, global citizens of the Litmos eLearning community!Last time—we talked about authoring tools, and we answered a few common questions about Adobe Captivate 5 and Articulate Studio '09. As we dive more deeply, we'll look at the strengths of each platform. This week, we'll begin our analysis of Adobe Captivate 5.To clear up a question, you can acquire Captivate 5 in two ways. First, it's available as a stand-alone program, for $799.00 USD (or $299.00 USD for a qualified upgrade).Second...Read Full Story

Last week the Litmos Learning Managment System received a great review on B.J. Schone's eLearning and mLearning blog/magazine eLearning Weekly. Many thanks to Eric Matas, the new Managing Editor, for taking the time to review Litmos and for putting together such positive feedback and comments. Eric signed on for a trial with us back in August just before we rolled out our iPad, iPhone and Android support. We didn't know he was considering reviewing us at the time, but when his trial expired...Read Full Story

¡Bienvenidos, Litmos community! Those of you tasked with converting your organization's content into rapid eLearning -- we're looking at you. Previous posts have looked at cross-functionality between Microsoft PowerPoint and Adobe Captivate. The relationship between PowerPoint and eLearning is like an up-and-down romance. PowerPoint brings some cool stuff to the table, but can often gain the upper hand and stifle eLearning creativity. Although importing existing PowerPoint into Captivate is a...Read Full Story

Let me wish you a happy and productive new year from the Litmos blogging team! It's time to continue with our occasional manifesto on how to bring eLearning to your organization (and maximize the use of your LMS). This is a food-for-thought post on authoring tools. Many Litmos clients (and others tasked with magically converting an organization’s assets into eLearning) struggle with process at the outset. There is a seemingly endless stream of information, and quite a high percentage is good...Read Full Story

It’s rolled around again which means it's time for us to ask for your help in securing the Litmos Learning Management System a place in the sixth annual Best of Elearning! Awards. We've been finalists in two different awards ceremonies already this year (NZ Hi-Tech Awards and the TUANZ Innovation Awards 2010) but we're hoping that three's a charm. More than anything, we want to show that in these times of hating-on LMSs, we've proven it's possible for people all over the world to love their...Read Full Story

On April 9, 2011 Craig Weiss of E-Learning 24/7 posted up a product review of the Litmos LMS on his website. I have to admit, I was a little nervous to read it as I've followed his blog for a while now and know just how tough a critic he can be. I was hoping that he liked using Litmos, of course, but more than that we were looking forward to some constructive, 'no holds barred' feedback from an industry leader who has tested and reviewed so many of the LMSs out there. Well, I'm very pleased...Read Full Story
