From analogue clocks to digital smartwatches that measure everything from heart rate to blood oxygen levels; even your entire home can become ‘smart’. The list is endless. One thing that seems to be stuck in time is how organisations carry out their learning and training programmes. With the technology and skills available today, the journey to eLearning can be a simple one; and even more so if you follow a step-by-step plan before implementation. Here’s how to do it: http://www.soundidealearningmanagement.co.za/home/index.php?ipkArticleID=300 http://www.soundidealearningmanagement.co.za/home/index.php?ipkArticleID=300 As you may know, there are three different learning types: auditory, visual and kinaesthetic. Kinaesthetic learners are people who learn best when they are more hands-on during learning process – they prefer interactive methods of training. The needs of learners with this style of learning can be achieved in eLearning through interactions such as click-to-reveal where they’d click on an item to reveal information, matching, drag-and-drop and many others. Interactive videos, however, supply endless possibilities when creating eLearning not just for kinaesthetic learners but also visual and auditory. http://www.soundidealearningmanagement.co.za/home/index.php?ipkArticleID=299 http://www.soundidealearningmanagement.co.za/home/index.php?ipkArticleID=299 The driving force in the current digital disruption is the nation-wide lockdown. This digital disruption has transformed many industries: from the corporate industry where employees are now working remotely; to the restaurant industry where using delivery apps like UberEats is the new normal. Somehow change didn’t come as fast as expected in the world of education. In this article we look at ways in which companies, learning and training institutions as well as schools can make the most of elearning in the era of social distancing. http://www.soundidealearningmanagement.co.za/home/index.php?ipkArticleID=292 http://www.soundidealearningmanagement.co.za/home/index.php?ipkArticleID=292 Animation has great appeal and potential, especially when used in combination with strong learning and teaching principles. Don’t be mislead into thinking that animation will detract from learning. It’s the same thinking that happened when at first colour images were added to textbook http://www.soundidealearningmanagement.co.za/home/index.php?ipkArticleID=289 http://www.soundidealearningmanagement.co.za/home/index.php?ipkArticleID=289 As a company starts to grow and expand with branches across different regions, training becomes more difficult. A company can spend a fortune on training individuals throughout the years as training is needed or as new employees join the company. http://www.soundidealearningmanagement.co.za/home/index.php?ipkArticleID=283 http://www.soundidealearningmanagement.co.za/home/index.php?ipkArticleID=283 We are living in a time where the use of computers dominates our lives; however, many jobs still do not require their use. In cases like this it is difficult to integrate all workers into the company’s learning management system but Sound Idea Digital has the solution to this issue. http://www.soundidealearningmanagement.co.za/home/index.php?ipkArticleID=266 http://www.soundidealearningmanagement.co.za/home/index.php?ipkArticleID=266 People have different ways of learning. In fact, there are three styles, namely: kinaesthetic, visual and auditory. In order for kinaesthetic learners to learn effectively they need to be hands-on and involved with their learning material and content. Visual learners need visual stimuli in the form of pictures, videos, graphs and diagrams. The use of voice overs, videos and other forms of audio will benefit auditory learners greatly. Sound Idea Digital’s Collective Mind LMS takes all kinds of learners into consideration through blended learning. http://www.soundidealearningmanagement.co.za/home/index.php?ipkArticleID=258 http://www.soundidealearningmanagement.co.za/home/index.php?ipkArticleID=258 A learning management system without eLearning content is as useful as scuba gear is to a fish. It is important that users have access to content that is readily available. Having access to an authoring tool to produce your own courses could prove to be a major advantage: you manage the length of the courses, the content as well as the learning outcomes. The Collective Mind Learning Management System comes with a built-in authoring tool to facilitate creation and management of course material. http://www.soundidealearningmanagement.co.za/home/index.php?ipkArticleID=270 http://www.soundidealearningmanagement.co.za/home/index.php?ipkArticleID=270 Creating eLearning courses from scratch can be a time consuming task. It requires gathering information, building it into a course and uploading it as a SCORM file to the Learning Management System before learners can be enrolled to it. Sound Idea Digital has the solution this; through third-party provider integration, we can bring ready-to-use e-learning material to your LMS. http://www.soundidealearningmanagement.co.za/home/index.php?ipkArticleID=269 http://www.soundidealearningmanagement.co.za/home/index.php?ipkArticleID=269 Psychology says that reinforcements or rewards play a major role in learning. It would be completely pointless, not to mention demotivating, to do something without some kind of reward. Adult learning, also known as andragogy, places emphasis on motivation in order to effectively learn. It has been proven that feelings that are slightly rewarding, like light competition and games or playfulness are best for learning. Sound Idea Digital’s learning management system; the Collective Mind LMS comes with a gamification feature to keep learners constantly motivated. http://www.soundidealearningmanagement.co.za/home/index.php?ipkArticleID=257 http://www.soundidealearningmanagement.co.za/home/index.php?ipkArticleID=257
