The gateway to all of your learning resources, your training portal plays a big part in your employees’ ongoing relationship with their development program. But it’s the homepage where that relationship first begins. It’s where learners form their initial impressions of what’s to follow. And, by influencing…
“See John over there? He’s been with us for almost five years and is a great customer service agent. Grab a chair, sit next to him for the rest of his shift, and ask any questions you have at the end of the day.” This is job shadowing, in short. But is it effective job shadowing? Not necessarily. Job shadowing is successful only when implemented correctly. That being said, job shadowing isn’t about your new hires following around their seasoned colleagues in their day-to-day without a clear goal or a structured on-the-job training plan. Job shadowing demands careful planning and…

There are a lot of really cool things you can do with 360° images in e-learning. You can see some examples here. However, I’ve chatted with a lot of people and the single biggest challenge for them is getting usable images. In most cases, 360° image interactions are exploratory and based on real-world context. In those case, stock imagery doesn’t work. This requires that the course author have a camera or other means to craft the images. However, it doesn’t mean you can’t create an interaction using stock 360° images. Here is a cool site that creates stock 360° images…
