In a period of financial difficulty, such as the one being experienced by the entire world right now, the key to survival of most companies is in seeking out solutions with the maximum of benefits with the least of loss from the company itself. This usually translates into sourcing out resources that is projected to yield the most in terms of results for the company, without the company having to shell out too much to acquire it or accrue a large expense in the production of the favorable results. For some companies, this would necessarily mean downsizing their existing workforce and retaining only those that are particularly indispensable, or those who are able to function in multiple capacities, so as to preclude any slowing in production and operations, even if the workforce has been cut in half in number. There companies, however, that frown upon this practice, and see the massive laying off of employees as not only unjust but also a very unwise move on the part of management, since the greatest resource of the company is being compromised in removing such a large portion of the work force, namely the employees themselves. While these forward-thinking companies do… Continue reading
One of the most pressing issues in any learning environment is the variation of learning speed among the participants of the learning program. For their part, trainers cannot expect all participants to learn at the same rate, since there are always problem areas and certain factors that may either benefit a learner or actually impede the learning process. Trainers and educators, however, are limited in their ability to remedy this situation in the way that the curricula or training program must be seen to the end and accomplished according to the plotted schedule, which precludes them taking time out of the regular schedule to guide the learners that are taking longer to learn the modules than the others, allowing them to catch up with the rest of the learning group. In some instances, instructors and educators who have a sense of duty take time out of their own schedule to train the learner who cannot keep up on their own time, just so as to allow the learner the benefit of being able to catch up to the others. Not all trainers, however, are as altruistic as this. Most will not give any notice if any member of the… Continue reading
Outsourcing business functions has been a common practice among companies of different sizes from small enterprises to those belonging to the Fortune 50 club. While this move could really improve the operations of companies, it could also bring some disadvantages when it comes to employee training and development. Since a company’s workforce is dispersed, the distance and time difference make streamlining the training approach and overall instruction methods more challenging for the training department.

The world has completely turned and the hinge was the internet. It has truly created so many opportunities for people and industries to develop in ways that were once unimaginable. One good example of such a development is the rise of elearning solutions. These tools are software or programs that help people who are too busy or pressed for time to learn online.Elearning on its own has such a wide definition since it has also a very wide variety of applications. Elearning can also be spelled as e-learning and it was derived from the phrase “electronic learning.” It refers to different fields of technology based learning. Basically, with the help of the internet, not only is learning made more accessible and easier for a lot of people, it also helps speed up the learning process since the medium is made more animated, interactive, and illustrative with the use of the right technological know-how. At the most basic level, elearning can simply be described or defined as learning with the help of electronic technology. Any one who wants to take advantage of this kind of system would do well to think about what specific type of TEL or technology enhanced… Continue reading
Are elearning solutions effective in teaching the humanities? Could this mode of teaching where in the teacher is either far away or completely absent, be a complete experience of learning? How could students possibly learn much about art for instance? What we can learn is limited by the ambit of our experiences and of the media that we are exposed to. Usually, the best media that creates a deep imprint on us is good Literature. However in order to appreciate good literature, we must in turn have already seen what we have read at work in our own lives, even for just a glimmer of this sight is enough and literature will awaken and deepen that glimmer of insight. But if we have not at all seen any part of ourselves or our lives in the text, then the text will never come to life. And this is applicable to teaching as well. What is taught in any humanities classroom, especially if these things have something to do with the profundity of human experience (I am speaking primarily of literature, philosophy, psychology and the arts) but such human profundity of insight can be seen in every humanities subject such… Continue reading
