Your Organization’s Website: Design it Yourself with LMS Perhaps you own your own business which has nothing to do with web design. If so, you already understand the value of web design skills. This is because you ve probably spent a pretty penny on designers to design your site for you, as well as to maintain it. Each time you want to announce news, a new product, or any other topic on your website, you have to contact your web designer, and write another check. Why not learn those skills yourself? Why not design, maintain and update your own company website? Not enough people who consider themselves "non-tech-savvy" are taking advantage of online courses which could save their companies thousands of dollars. Intensive online courses in Dreamweaver and other web design editing and management tools are quick and affordable, and allow learners to go at their own pace. Some online courses include online classrooms, which include threaded messaging systems through

LMS Insurance Licensing Online Courses Insurance licensing exams aren t a walk in the park. Taking a pre-license exam online or a preparation course is a great idea for anyone studying for these exams. Through LMS platforms and other accredited education providers, studying for insurance licensing exams can be simple, cost-effective, and convenient. You can learn how to sell more life insurance, insurance sales training, and securities licensing, all while sitting in your pj s drinking coffee. There are plenty or state-specific and self-paced courses online. Securities licensing is one service that clients often request, and one which is more useful than you might think. But it isn t easy. Gaining a license to sell securities requires sponsorship from a broker-dealer and a great deal of studying for the licensing exams. Take your time choosing a sponsor; this process can take a long time, but there are many companies to choose from, and it s worth shopping around for. Preparat

How to Train the People behind the Skills Many organizations suffer the consequences of poor training in the simple procedures of soft skills. An organization s success depends not only on hard technical skills, but its members ability to work together effectively. Success can be jeopardized by factors such as inter-staff politics, personal agendas, lack of energy and commitment to organizational goals, and poor communication. How can your organization avoid these dangers and achieve actionable outcomes with LMS online training? The purpose of any kind of training is the acquisition of skills. So what kind of skills are teachable? What skills can you expect to nurture in online training? The truth is that all skills, both soft and hard, are teachable-and critical to an organization s success. Soft skills, or "people skills," are utilized in both professional and personal life, and include all the procedures involved in effective communication. These include listening, engaging i

Online Training and Actionable Outcomes and Results One of the big issues around online training is perception that measuring and monitoring the effectiveness and substantive results of this training can be elusive. In other words, turning the training into an actionable outcome is the difference between a pretty screen that your learners will stare at, and a meaningful translation of what they just learned into accountable result. The question is, is the result of Online training a measurable outcome? To answer this, you must first ask yourself a series of questions. Who is the target audience? How will the training be used? What specific result are you trying to effect? What will be done with the results, and who how will you measure them? Once you know the answers to these questions you are better equipped to decide what types of outputs you would like to see as a result of this training. So as important as it is to develop a great online training course, it is just as important

Enliven Gaps and Sunk Time with LMS Podcasts Why all this audio training craze? Last week, due to my own personal discovery of online tools (which are available to anyone seeking knowledge or the means of providing it), I was able to complete a book that would have otherwise taken me about two weeks. That s if I worked for about 2 or 3 hours a day, in the traditional sit-at-your-desk-and-read style. However, with my audiobook of Don Quixote, I completed the task in just 4 days. LMS online training courses could benefit from this kind of methodology. Book I of Cervantes masterpiece is about 500 pages, or 18 hours of audiobook. Instead of spending each night reading the old text, I took advantage of my 45-minute bike commutes downtown every morning and afternoon. I listened to the audiobook while I cooked, while I cleaned my apartment, while I bought groceries. My daily chores and commutes suddenly became interesting and relevant to my life, and they seemed to go by faster. In j

Quantity Control in LMS Training Part of successful performance management is your ability to empathize with your trainees and be realistic in the kind of LMS online training administered. When I say "kind" of training, I don t necessarily mean considerations like which LMS platform you choose, whether or not you utilize previously established training methods, the options of online or in-person or a mixture of both, or any other basic decisions regarding training. What I mean is the style, form, texture, and resources your training employs, and what how these choices are reflected in the day-to-day training activities. There are many causes of failed training initiatives, which are obviously a huge waste of organizations time and energy. Many of these causes are related not only to the quantity or length, but also the texture of the training. Let s face it: management often has a difficult time in gauging the appropriate amount of time to devote to training. One common mistake

Don’t Go with the Flow–Create it–and Watch Performance Soar How can you create a positive atmosphere in your workplace and provide LMS training that is effective, stimulating, and prompts a sense of "flow" that boosts performance? In Csikszentmihalyi s studies, he found that one major preoccupation that prevented people from enjoying what they are doing is how they appear to others, or what others might think about them. As Doctor Phil has said many times (love or hate him, he has some great things to say about human behavior), one thing that unites humankind is the fear that we don t measure up. Everyone feels this way at one time or another, and the kind of workplace and training that are present in a person s life have a great deal to do with the strength of this feeling. It can affect performance in ways that managers don t even imagine. If a worker feels underestimated, unchallenged, or bored, he or she is unlikely to perform to the optimal capacity. Achieving a sense of flow

Putting Flow in Your Workflow Motivating employees and ensuring that they are satisfied and fulfilled in their tasks isn t an easy managerial task. How does one create a sense of dynamism in the workplace or in an LMS training program? In 1991 Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi wrote his groundbreaking book "Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience, in which he described the work he had done on the "flow" and human motivation. The idea of flow is like the state of being "in the zone" or "in the groove. " Flow is a feeling of total absorption, fulfillment, and skill during which the person forgets normal and/or temporal concerns such as the ego, food, and time. It s the optimal state of intrinsic motivation, in which the person is fully engaged and immersed in what he or she is doing, as if playing a sport or reading a good book. In the "flow," people feel completely involved and focused. A state of ennui, boredom or depression is prevented by being in the flow. So is the agitation of anx

3 Managerial Behaviors that Contribute to Employee Turnover Why do so many great employees leave their jobs and join different companies? The problems that lead to quitting share two major characteristics: first, they are preventable; and second, they often begin with management. In order to prevent the large expenses involved in hiring and rehiring, with all the advertising expenses, resource management, headhunting, loss of time and productivity, and LMS employee training, make some simple changes in your management. A few adjustments in areas like management LMS training and management relations with employees can make a world of difference in employee turnover. Three common management behaviors which contribute to employee turnover are improper handling of challenging situations, not taking time to address matters of concern to employees, and morale-killing actions taken by management. First, the improper handling of situations is a common way to lead employees to their next jo
