e learning trends elearning 2 0 personal learning informal learning elearning design authoring tools rapid e learning tools blended e learning e learning tools learning management systems lms e learning roi and metrics monday october 23 2017 learning management systems lms never ending conversation two articles are trending right next to each other on elearning learning this week over the past few years i ve been involved in many lms selection processes it s good to see articles that are focusing more on getting more out of their lms without switching to a different provider of course there s still a lot about every lms that leaves users uninspired or even frustrated that leaves us with all sorts of conflicting advice around the lms craig weiss in state of the elearning industry 2017 talks about rapid growth and expanding capabilities meanwhile ben betts says what a lot of us feel no business should want a learning management system clearly the need to deliver and track elearning is not going away frankly i m squarely in craig s camp the lms is not going anywhere learn to get more out of it and hopefully the tools will grow to include greater value without frustrating users if you are interested in the latest thinking and trends on learning management systems you should take a couple minutes to sign up on elearning learning and then personalize your subscription with lms as a topic you ll get great articles from hundreds of sources like the ones above delivered to your inbox posted by tony karrer at 11 00 am 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday october 16 2017 2017 elearning learning mvp awards call for nominations the 2017 elearning learning mvp awards have just put out their call for nominations these awards will recognize the most valuable posts mvp as judged by readers and the well respect judges you can find details on nominations by visiting the page it s personally gratifying to see this happening while i ve not been active blogging is this really my first post since 2015 the community of bloggers continues to thrive and anything that highlights the amazing content produced by the diverse blogging community is great i also am excited that this awards is focused on top individual posts in different categories so instead of the usual top blogs getting the awards i believe a more diverse set of blogs will be recognized and since i m writing my first post here in so long and it s about blogging and the blogging community it s a bit funny to look back at old posts like blogging to peak in 2007 clearly that was not true of course neither was lcb s big question should all learning professionals be blogging although many bloggers will tell you it s one of the top personal learning tools hopefully i ll take my own advice and get back into it posted by tony karrer at 8 30 am 1 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday

share to facebook share to pinterest monday november 26 2012 how khan academy nike training club and sparkpeople motivate users behavior i mentioned in my post online systems for behavior change that i m working on a very interesting project that is designed to lead to some important changes in behavior that has already had dramatic impacts but we want to do even better and so we are studying some parallel offerings and what they are doing relative to promoting specific behavior in their systems ultimately we are trying to design something that will motivate users to take action that we know will have positive impact however there s often this gap between what people know they should do and getting them to actually do it and that s not just with online systems i m reviewing khan academy nike training club and sparkpeople i ve included lots of screen shots of what i m seeing and some thoughts as i m going through them i m not claiming this is scientific in any real way rather i m collecting some thoughts in terms of design concepts i would very much welcome feedback comments on this what else have you seen or used that motivates action in online systems for behavior change what articles have you seen that talk about use of goals badges points community etc for motivating user action khan academy nice walkthrough of your profile but interestingly it didn t take me into it automatically provides an interesting concept in terms of allowing users to earn points to be able to change their avatar similarly it shows you holes where badges would go suggested activities with progress indicator and easy click to access shows recently completed activity and rewards earned tons of badges and explanation of the badges nice statistics i will say that i found the content presentation to be fairly standard it uses very familiar voice language that makes it feel comfortable but there wasn t anything that special or different about it practice was also not all that different and generally was very simple the system does have a good use of progress indicators and it also has very simple consistent format each practice results in rewards and clear indication of how to move on uses longest streak quick answers and total leaves points shows you how to use it in your classroom teachers can setup students in the system so that they can get reports on their progress can see stats easily on your class to determine how they are doing as a teacher this could be a great tool to help figure out where you might want to spend more time the interface is really easy to understand nike training club this happens to be a program that my wife and daughter love its very easy to get into and start using choose your goal then your level then your workout you can see pictures and videos ahead of time or while you are doing it don t forget to plan your music that goes along with the workout during the workout it s easy to understand what s going on there are voice commands that give you pointers and count down just like a trainer would there s a nice summary of your workout at the end you can automatically share your workout with friends the system really excels in terms of stats and rewards sparkpeople quick call to action to sign up step 1 setting goals window expanded based on entered goals to see what your planned goals turned into you can see the specific plan elements and easily change your goals on the same page time to enter a bunch of preferences its not clear how this impacts my experience even after using the system for a while it wasn t clear to me likely it would have put me into additional teams smaller forums described below i ll be honest its way too hard to use food trackers like this for me in this case i tried typing in what i had for breakfast and it didn t come up with a reasonable choice what no normal raisin bran cereal it took me a bunch of tries to find that i needed to type in the brand of cereal first entering the sandwich i made for lunch way too much work for me personally but i understand the value same interface for tracking fitness but so much easier to enter because there are a lot fewer items periodically you get a pop up or other calls to action around the points ugly ad right in the middle i won 3 points i m not sure i buy this aspect of points but i do think they ve done a great job using a menu of actions along with associated points that basically motivate you to do the things that will be good for you to do on the system for example posting in the forums earns you points tracking each food item earns you points maybe this would get me to be willing to spend the time on each item they also use this same approach to get you to try out additional features or refer other people sparkpeople makes heavy good use of streaks as a motivational tool these tie back to points and basically help to motivate daily use of course you get to cheat on most things by going back to previous days and entering values to keep your streaks alive also can earn trophies which i ve been calling badges on other other sites like the other sites its easy to see what badges are possible and to find out what it will take to earn additional badges it s interesting to see that they use both badges and the central points mechanism i wonder if this gets lost a little sparkpeople does a lot of things to get people to interact with other users it starts with automated personal emails and lots of use of community you can see they have teams message boards challenges member tips member pages member blogs member success stories and featured items you could easily spend a lot of time just in the community it also could be a bit overwhelming for first time users so they have done some nice things to help first timers get started this is key as most users do not jump in and start communicating automatically add you into a few teams for example all the people who joined the same week i joined people somewhat automatically share aspects of what they are trying to achieve design aspects there are some interesting common items between the systems badges trophies are shown as gray until its filled in with color when you earn it each makes it clear what is required to earn the item each system offers early rewards and it steps up in complexity from there streaks are used in khan and sparkpeople as additional incentives nike and khan have simple clean interfaces and a fairly limited set of actions the interfaces are very consistent obviously sparkpeople has somewhat thrown everything at the user hasn t worried as much about the look of the interface but has done a few things that stand out to me in terms of design establish a clear goal around weight loss and possibly some other goals it s interesting to me that setting a goal is not much of a part of khan or nike in some ways the broader efforts of nike with nike helps with longer term perspective there s an implicit goal in khan academy in terms of completing content still there s something good about establishing a longer term goal of course then you need to break it down into smaller goals that s something that sparkpeople does really well with points points as a central theme the menu of actions that have points directly tied to them is a great idea this is a good way to provide structured actions that tie back to the central motivational scheme khan also provides points as a motivator interesting points don t really get me much in sparkpeople but in khan i can do simple things like changing my avatar lots of community options and a good job drawing people into the community nike does a little of this with posting to your friends about your workout again looking at nike more broadly they are doing some interesting things around community still the nike training club is somewhat isolated posted by tony karrer at 9 51 am 11 comments email this blogthis share to x share to
