The 8LEM: 8 Learning Events Model.
The 8LEM: 8 Learning Events Model.

Our colleague Karen is currently on maternal leave, and yet she still finds the time to send her lonely co-workers in the office interesting reading materials. Today, she presents the 8LE model: the 8 events of learning. The 8LEM is a theoretical reference model by researchers of the Université de Liège.

The Most Overlooked Requirements when Choosing an LMS
The Most Overlooked Requirements when Choosing an LMS

Choosing an learning management system for your company can be quite the ordeal. Having +300 possibilities to choose from might seem like an advantage at first. That impression quickly turns when you realise there are even more requirements to base your choice on.

About the Learning of Organisations
About the Learning of Organisations

The concept of the Learning Organisation often seems lost on people. They see it merely as an organisation where the individual members are motivated to, can and will learn. As president of ECLO - a former pan-European think-tank about learning organisations - for several years, this confusion is one that I love to clarify.

NLE2017 learnings - AI & VR: here to stay
NLE2017 learnings - AI & VR: here to stay

WITH FREE DOWNLOAD - Artificial Intelligence is here to stay. At least, that's what Donald Clark tried to convince us of last Tuesday in Den Bosch. Even though I agree that all these new technologies will have a large impact on various aspects of life including learning, I'm sure certain people will deem them as fads. So without trying to convince everyone of using technology, and more specifically artificial intelligence and virtual reality in learning; what elements should we definitely take into account?

What is Gamification?
What is Gamification?

Gamification is HOT. Even though the numbers date from 2015 they clearly show that both organisations and its learners as well as Learning Professionals are very interested in Gamification for different reasons. The optimistic projections in terms of market growth and expected revenue however warn me that this might be a trend that overdraws day to day reality of organisations. Being a Gamer and Learning Professional myself, Gamification therefore immediately triggered my interest but at the same time the caution to approach this trend critically.

The Three Things You Can Learn from Comic Conventions
The Three Things You Can Learn from Comic Conventions

Last weekend, I visited FACTS, Belgium's largest comic convention and one of the only places where geeks can truly be themselves.

One of the things I like most about FACTS is that it's basically one giant learning fair with smiles and funny costumes and people continuously praising each other. There is very little fear, and a lot of personal growth.

Why Typography Should Always Be One of Your Concerns
Why Typography Should Always Be One of Your Concerns

"I don't really care about fonts. Just pick one." He said. So naturally, the urge to use Comic Sans or Windings came creeping up.

We were working on a new style guide and my colleague wanted to use the default MS Office font, to which, of course, I disagreed. Arial and Verdana are legible types, but they are also average. Did we want to be average?

The Unfortunate Reputation of Compliance Training and How to Tweak it
The Unfortunate Reputation of Compliance Training and How to Tweak it

I came across an interesting article last week about compliance training and how to set it up in a more adaptive approach than most organizations are used to. As you might know, Compliance training, unfortunately, has a bad reputation: one more boring procedure that needs to be read and understood and signed off for completion.
