October was quite a busy month. For me it started in Chicago with The HR Technology Conference and ended in Orlando with Masie’s Learning 2016. And for such vastly different events, I noticed a common recurring theme: content.
For years, technology providers have been hard at work developing slick, modern, intuitive platforms that incorporate features for all kinds of learning: video, informal, social, collaborative, experiential, etc. There has recently been a renewed focus on the user experience as well, as providers try to deliver the same type of technology experiences at work that people are used to at home.
But what goes inside all of these shiny new “experience” platforms? The one thing that may have been left behind is perhaps the most critical. Much of the content companies are dealing with isn’t designed for these types of experiences. Very often they are SCORM packages, ILT courses, or some other clunky, proprietary format.
