3 Tips for Emerging Platform Makers

 There are a number of emerging platforms fighting for their place under the Sun. And I’m not necessarily talking about Ubuntu Mobile, Firefox OS, Sailfish and Tizen – Windows Phone and BlackBerry 10 could use some boost, as well. Here I want to share my thoughts what’s needed for these platforms to succeed.
Before proceeding, let’s clear one thing first – the new platform must have the basic covered, including a great email client, HTML5-compliant web browser and mobile office suite. Here’s what’s next:

1. Integrate with popular web services
As more and more users are “moving to the cloud,” it’s essential to have appropriate apps that “correspond” to these services. I’m talking about such popular web apps like Evernote, Box.net, Dropbox, GMail and web-based project/task management services like Remember The Milk, Asana, Nozbe and others.

Gmail support pretty much sucks if you’re not using Android and iOS. I remember speaking with a “BlackBerry guy” who wanted to convince me that I’m managing my email in a wrong way and that I should adopt BlackBerry’s way of doing so. I truly believe this kind of attitude brought BlackBerry to the place where it is now… though it’s giving its best to get back to the game.
GMail users can you imagine managing your email with the “Archive” option? BlackBerry thinks that’s not needed even though I selected GMail as my email provider.

2. Awesome social networking support
Go beyond Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. Makers of emerging platforms should pitch folks behind apps/services like HootSuite, Pinterest, Fancy, Quora, GetGlue, Banjo, Gogobot, Circle, Waze, Pocket, News360, Flipboard and Pulse News (to name the few) to make native apps for their platform. Social gets you exposure and buzz so you better be able to allow your users to join the conversation. And besides, jobs involving social networks are one the most demanded (and most paid) these days, so you (BlackBerry) can’t claim you’re focused on business customers when people in select industries can’t use your phone to get the job done. Try posting to two different Facebook Pages with your Z10 to get a feeling what I’m talking about.

One more thing – side-loading of Android apps is not enough (this is BlackBerry-specific). We need to be able to access social apps from the “Share” menu to be able to quickly share stuff from a web browser, email client or news reader.

3. Assist and pay developers to port their apps
BlackBerry and Microsoft are already doing this, but there’s still room for improvement. HootSuite, which is one of the most popular social networking apps, is still not available beyond iOS and Android.

Companies making new platforms should create a department to assist developers and even pay them (if needed) to bring apps to their platform. Moreover, they should be offering free devices left and right to get attention in the current two-platform world.

Interesting times are ahead of us…
During the second half of this year the first devices running new platforms will be released. It will be interesting to watch which of them will succeed and which will share the destiny of webOS. We’ll make sure to bring you the most interesting tidbits so stay tuned

What You Need to Know About Mobile Learning

Every few years it seems that there’s some hot new trend in the world of training.  Right now it appears that mobile learning is all the rage.  The world of mobile gadgets is converging with an always available wifi network.  This gives us instant access to all sorts of information which fits in well with on-demand training.
Since this part of the industry is so new to many of you, I thought it might be best to hook up with an expert in the industry to learn more.  So I called one of my mentors and a real pioneer in the elearning industry, Dr. Werner Oppelbaumer, to pick his brain.  I asked for his thoughts on mobile learning and where he thinks we should be focusing our attention.

It seems that every year or two the training industry hypes some sort of technology or trend.  Currently, it appears that mobile learning (or m-learning) is the hot thing.  However, we tend to over-promise and under-deliver.  Is this just a fad or is there more to it than that?

M-learning is not a fad.  We have been doing some very detailed studies and have discovered that many people are mobile.  In fact, every three seconds there is someone on this planet that is moving from one place to the next.

We’re not quite sure how long this trend will last, but it definitely presents some opportunities and challenges for the industry.  At the same time, there is always an element of hype that surrounds these newly discovered trends.

So, considering that mobile learning is not a fad, how do we separate the hype from what’s of real value?

Good question.  We find that most people are distracted by the sexy technology and lose sight of how ineffective it actually is.  Take something like the iPhone for example.  Considering that the world’s population is approaching 7 billion people, only selling 17 million units can hardly be called a success.
In fact, their sales dropped 24% in the last quarter.  The way I see it, the iPhone is just a fad.  My guess is that this time next year we’ll be talking about some other gadget and the iPhone will probably go the way of the CB radio.

We feel the key is to get the most out of all of these technologies without focusing on any one specific one.  For example, all of the mobile devices have things in common, one of which is a small screen.  This presents a problem when trying to push out effective m-learning.
With the small screens you are limited to just a few bullet points.  To remedy this, we’ve developed the m-Goggle which will allow you to magnify the screen’s resolution.  It’s something we’ve been working on since the 1920’s.  We’ve had the solution for years, but had to be patient and let the rest of the industry catch up to us.

These goggles give you the best of both worlds.  You can leverage the mobile devices that everyone has and still have room for the bullet points that are so critical for effective elearning.  Our studies have also indicated an additional side benefit.  We found that when men wear these goggles while traveling it is much easier for them to communicate to woman that they are single.

 
What advice would you give someone interested in learning more about this industry and m-learning?

I always advocate caution.  Don’t get caught up in the fads.  Instead focus on what’s important.  The best way to sort the important stuff from that which is trivial is to look for a letter before the word “learning.”

My motto is, “With a letter, learning’s better!”

For example, “e-learning” means it is important.  The same with “m-learning.”  Remember, if it has no letter, then it’s most likely a waste of time and not worth your energy.
If you can’t find a letter, then the next step is to look for a number.  Something like m-learning 2.0 is really important.  It has a letter and a number.  Be cautious of trends without numbers.  That means they’re not evolving.
As far as the future of mobile learning, I put together a simple presentation of some of our forward thinking mobile learning technologies.  You are free to share them with the blog readers.  I am excited about where the industry is going and the opportunities it will present to all of us.

I want to thank Dr. Oppelbaumer for his insight and sharing his time.  He agreed to monitor this blog post and answer any questions.

Practical Ideas for Using Twitter in E-Learning

Twitter’s all the rage.  Some people love it.  Some people hate it.  But many people really don’t know much about it or don’t do much with it.
I’ll have to admit, I have mixed feelings about Twitter (and much of the other social media).  On one hand, I really love to play around with all of the new social media tools and am excited about what’s going on and the potential for learning.  On the other hand, much of their value is exaggerated.  A lot of this social media stuff can be distracting and a waste of time.  But that’s not so much the fault of the social media tools as much as it is their newness and not quite knowing what to do with all of the them and the content they create.
For me it’s all about context.  I am bombarded by so much info that I tend to tune out quite a bit.  I like to focus on the more practical information that I can use.  For example, the Articulate twitter page is a good resource for Articulate users since it provides news, tutorials, and links to helpful tips and tricks. 
While I do follow people, I tend to focus on topics and keywords.  This helps me get more pointed information and not be bombarded by a bored tweep who’s retweeting and posting links every 5 minutes. You know who you are.
With all that said, Twitter is a useful tool.  It can also be incorporated into your elearning courses.  Today I’d like to share a few ideas to whet your appetite.  However before I share some tips, it’s probably a good idea to explain some Twitter basics.  So I asked Dr. Werner Oppelbaumer to share some of his insights regarding Twitter.

Click here to watch Dr. Werner’s presentation.

In addition to Dr. Werner’s brilliant insights, here are some additional ideas about how to use Twitter.

Follow the Subject Matter Expert

Suppose you’re doing a course on organizational leadership.  Inevitably, some learners will have questions of the subject matter expert (SME).  You could incorporate a subject matter tweet that lets people ask questions or follow the SME after the course is complete.  Consider it a post-course consulting tool.  It also humanizes the course and makes it seem more personal, which can contribute to its perceived value.
Here’s another idea for those in the education world.  Create a twitter account for a famous person who represents the topic you teach.  Then have the students follow the tweets.  For example, it would be fascinating to read the tweets of someone like John Adams responding to some of the debate in Washington D.C. today.  Or keep the tweets in context to the historical character’s time.  Perhaps you can teach about the D-Day invasion via the tweets of a soldier crossing the channel and storming the beach at Normandy.  You could even include media using sites like Twitpic and Twitvid.  What a great way to make history come alive!
Another angle is to have each student represent a historical character and then they have to tweet and follow the other student characters of the time.  Based on their tweets, it would be a great way to assess their level of understanding of the subject you’re teaching.

Follow the Subject

You can assign and follow tweets via a hashtag.  What you do is something like this:

I look forward to September and watching the Seattle #Seahawks play.

Someone tracking #Seahawks can now see my tweet.  If you wanted people who take your course to continue the conversation or keep on top of a particular subject, then use a hashtag. 
Let’s say you were teaching a course on fire safety.  The hashtag could be #fs or #fire.  Then anyone can track the hashtag and stay up on the latest info.  Of course you want something that is both somewhat unique and short so you don’t take up all of your characters.
Once you have a course hashtag, you can use Twitter to provide additional content after the course.  You can also use it to get your learners to respond and provide feedback.  They could add some thoughts or tips that they learned.  They could also go back to their jobs, apply the course information, and then comment on how it worked for them.  This helps you make adjustments to the course content and it’s a good way to get an extra level of evaluation that’s more than the standard “smile sheet.”

Build a Community

There’s no reason why you couldn’t use Twitter to help facilitate a community of practice.  The real value in social media is in community building where you’re able to connect people who share similar interests and get them to exchange ideas.  And Twitter is great for that.
Have the learners use Twitter to share their thoughts.  For example, instead of giving them an assessment, make the assessment their Twitter stream.  They need to reflect on what they’re learning in the course and then share that with others.
Another way to get them involved is to have them share links and other information relevant to what they’ve learned.  Even if the course content is proprietary, there’s no reason why they couldn’t go out and look for other thought leaders or groups in the same industry to build on what they’re learning in your course.
For example, if I were teaching on the Truth in Lending Act, I’d have them look for some news stories about lending relevant to the Truth in Lending Act.  Or perhaps have them do some research on why we have a Truth in Lending Act.  Or share their thoughts on what would happen if there was no Truth in Lending Act.
To build the community use hashtags or sign up for a site like Twibes where you can create communities around mutual interest.  Two things to consider.  First, not everyone will jump on the community bandwagon.  That’s fine, you only need a few enthusiastic learners.  Secondly, Twitter kind of started as a microblogging tool.  If you want better organized conversation it might not be the best tool to use.  In that case, you could look at a chat application or a forum where you could have threaded comments.  They tend to be easier to follow.
Those are just a few ways you can use Twitter.  Of course, this doesn’t work for everybody.  Some of you are behind corporate firewalls and don’t have access to Twitter.  However, if you do have access to Twitter (or an enterprise equivalent) then these tips might come in handy.  If not, then change Twitter to wiki or some other social media tool you do have access to and see if these ideas work for you.
What are some other ways that you can think of blending Twitter with your elearning courses?

Practical Ideas for Using Twitter in E-Learning

Social Marketing Tactics to Improve SEO

Every online marketing department, no matter how large or small, is now implementing various strategies for SEO and social marketing. The really smart ones, however, don’t ever forgot how integrated the two really are. Social marketing campaigns are all about the creative sharing of content, and great content can mean great SEO. By employing many of the current SEO trends in every social marketing campaign you create, you better your chances to make both efforts a smashing success.
So what aspects of SEO should be considered when executing smart and effective social marketing strategies? There are many savvy tactics, but at the heart of every one sits a personal strategy to connect with and truly engage your audience. Below are some invaluable and current methods to make your brand memorable to both your customers and search engines.

SEO – The Numbers Don’t Lie
A recent study presented by SearchEngineWatch shows just how critical it is that your business land on the first page of results for your keywords. The good news: if you’re smart about your tactics, you don’t have to pay for top placement. 85% of clicks land on organic links, as opposed to paid features, which means the majority of users gravitate to sites that used brains, not dollars, to get their attention. The more alarming news: 53% of those clicks hit the first organic listing. This means if you’re not on the first page, and darn near the top, you will likely be overlooked.

Make SEO a Multi-Pronged Approach
Most of us already incorporate SEO best practices into our website marketing strategies. But by making SEO a top-of-mind consideration in every marketing effort, you up your chances at a high ranking. Your business website, local directories, blogs, and social media profiles should all work hard to carry out your SEO goals. The more consistent they are in word choice, tone, style and engagement, the better.
Why? For starters, it’s a numbers game. The more quality content you have on the web that consistently and accurately reflects your brand, the better. Social media can arguably generate a vast majority of your content, so be consistent with your keywords in all your Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Pinterest and LinkedIn shares, and you’re well on your way.

Social Marketing and SEO – Create a Perfect Marriage
The first step in weaving SEO tactics into you social media is to ensure all your profiles are complete to the last detail. Create a vanity URL that best expresses your brand (and remember, with sites like Facebook, you only have one chance to lock this in – choose wisely.) Try and make all your URLs as consistent as possible too. Then, make sure the About sections and related areas have content that is readable, accurate, and full of your targeted keywords and style. If the social media partner allows it, don’t forget to backlink to your business’s site as well.
There is often a tendency for businesses to overlook these details, placing generic sentences that indicate there’s an assumption no one will ever read it. Here’s a tip: Even if few users ever will read this text (which may or may not be the case), search engines will. Make every opportunity to share information and content about your business matter.
Likewise, never leave the geographic details on social media sites blank either, especially if you service a physical area or group of areas. Customers will likely be searching for you in a given area, and these stats placed on various social sites make you that much easier to find.

If It’s Not Engaging, It’s Not Social
You already know you need quality, shareable content on your social media pages. The difference between something that earns a handful of Likes, however, and content that actually engages your customers means everything in online marketing. Your social content should not just aim to gain a few eyeballs, but to encourage viewers to keep coming back. Engagement, therefore, is far more valuable than just content that people read, “Like”, and leave. One-off Likes don’t create enviable conversion rates – engagement does. Engagement means asking questions your customers actually want to discuss, offering discounts or deals that they act on immediately, or supplying viral videos that incite users to watch and share, among others. Each of these social events also helps your SEO. The more people engage and share your content, the more search engines view that content as valuable. Much of great SEO is about establishing consistent authority, and social media is an obvious opportunity if you work to authentically engage the masses.
Of course, creating regular engagement with your brand requires you to regularly engage with your customer. It is absolutely imperative that you not only post content on a consistent basis, ideally similar times each day/week, but that you respond to your social fans in as close to real-time as is conceivable for your business. If someone actually takes the time to comment or ask something on a social page of yours, a speedy response is integral to keeping that customer engaged. And again, if people are reading, sharing and engaging with your content, search engines are noticing.

Consistency is Key
One core strategy to consider regarding the integration of your SEO and social campaigns revolves around tone and voice. If possible, it’s a very good idea to let one person become the voice and face for your brand, so that users can engage with an actual person, rather than a generic logo/ideal. People trust people more than they trust companies. It’s also easier for one person to stay mindful of keywords, content consistency, and release schedules than it is for a disjointed team.
Look at Google – they have no shortage of employees, but it’s Matt Cutts that often speaks front and center for the mega-business with regards to SEO. Although he gets plenty of slack, he does an outstanding job of maintaining a friendly and approachable image.
If you do have an online ambassador, make sure he or she not only understands your business inside and out, and can create a friendly and likeable persona, but that he/she can also handle the onslaught of negative commentary that is often unavoidable in a public space. As we all know, the internet can be a very cruel place, so your representative should stay positive in the face of some friendly (and not so friendly) feedback.

The Big Picture
Every piece of content and every last reply, tweet and post you create, should all share a common goal and message from your brand. How you engage with your audience is and always will be up to you – you know your customers best. Good marketing strategies consider every nuance of the customer, and now, those executions must bear in mind successful SEO strategies as well. The good news is, they are not mutually exclusive. People love quality, consistency and credibility, and so do search engines. By carefully monitoring the success of all your social campaigns in terms of traffic, audience engagement, and SEO rankings, you can create a multi-pronged strategy that improves each critical aspect. It’s the true definition of a win-win.

3 Visual Design Tips for Effective E-Learning

At a recent elearning conference I ran into my mentor and elearning thought leader, Dr. Werner Oppelbaumer. He was showing off examples of elearning courses and offering tips on visual design for elearning.
While he was swamped as usual, I was able to steal a few minutes of his time and talk about his latest Werner Labs project and asked if he had any tips to share for the blog readers.

I really appreciate all you do to push the science of elearning research forward. It helps the blog readers and anyone who wants to learn how to build elearning courses.
As you know, one of the main issues people have is a lack of resources and time. Your conference presentation on building PowerPoint presentations and elearning courses seems to fill that need. Can you explain more to the blog readers who couldn’t attend?

Each day there are thousands of PowerPoint presentations and many of them are not very good. On top of that, most elearning courses created with PowerPoint are not very good. That’s not going to change any time soon. But what we can change is the time it takes to build bad PowerPoints.
So we created a system where anyone who creates a bad PowerPoint can upload it and share it with anyone else who needs to create a bad PowerPoint. On top of that you can mix and match your bad PowerPoints to create custom-designed bad PowerPoint files.

It’s our new Collaborative Resource Automating PowerPoint system. Bad content is going to be created anyway; we just make it easier to do so. That will be a big time saver for most organizations.
We’ve already signed on many large corporations and government agencies.

I’m interested in seeing where that goes in the future. Let’s switch topics. You gave a presentation on visual design for elearning. Afterwards, people were buzzing about what they learned. Can you share your tips for the blog readers, too?

Sure. The presentation covered three key areas of graphic design for elearning.

• How to build better elearning in your organization
• Get past low-value bullet point elearning courses
• Apply NEW research to your elearning courses

I’ve included my presentation below.

How to Handle Ornery Commenters

You’ve heard of that clothing line called “Life is Good,” right? That Jake character has it goin’ on! His glass is half-full, and the dude just keeps on keepin’ on. Everyone should be like Jake.
But there a lot of folks out there who are the antithesis of that guy on the t-shirt who just smiles all day long. There are the haters. The meanies. The bullies. Those who just didn’t get the right cup of coffee this morning.
The deal with responding to the Anti-Jakes is this: The goal is to neutralize their comments and to attempt to turn their negativity around. Then again, depending on the circumstances, sometimes it’s best to just walk away from the bully.

Well, there’s that.

Consider a few of the following strategies to coming up with the best response to the poster who just woke up on the wrong side of the bed:

Consider Mean Comments from Personal Connections

• Get Some Real “Face Time.” If there really is a good friendship involved, and someone is just having a rather rotten day, push through it – and have a face-to-face chat. This online communication lacks a lot: facial expression, tone of voice, eye contract, volume, etc.
  There might be a possibility of a misunderstanding, or – gulp – maybe it was a joke! Do a little bit of investigating before you banish someone from your feed or contacts list. Maybe the person who woke up on the wrong side of the bed is you. If so, grab some coffee. And, you know … Carry On.
  
• Silence is Golden. If it’s a personal comment from someone you actually know, the best response is silence. Don’t respond. Let the comment just sit. Anyone observing this “exchange,” if it’s on a social media website like Facebook, will simply see that you’ve taken the high road. And, quite honestly, the people who had venom spewing from their fingertips will just look like idiots. That’s okay. Let them. Because, well, --- they are.
  
• Delete. Erase. Buh-Bye! If it’s Facebook comment, and you truly don’t care for this person any longer, bid farewell. You don’t need the tension in your life. First, you can delete the comment (on Facebook, for example, click that little “x” in the top right area of the post. Poof! It’s gone.) If that doesn’t do the trick, consider de-friending. Or for Twitter, simply stop following the feed. Dismissed!
  
• Cyber Bullying is Dangerous: This one isn’t targeted toward only snarky teenagers. The “safety” of being alone at a screen and not having any boundaries can create a free-for-all atmosphere. The bottom line is that cyber stalking and cyber bullying can be downright dangerous. If you’re starting to feel afraid, it is imperative to involve adults, teachers, and parents. Police intervention may even be necessary.

Consider Comments from a Post on Your Professional Website

A negative comment to your professional website is actually an opportunity to let your problem-solving skills show. If you want your business to continue to thrive, handle these negative comments with grace and dignity.
Doing anything else could cost you your business, so listen up:

• Make it Right: If a disgruntled customer has posted a negative review about one of your products or services, this is the opportunity to correct the error and show the rest of the shopping world that you stand by your business. Take this negative and spin it right around into a positive.
  
• Respond Quickly – and Follow Up: If at all possible, correct the issue, offer a sincere apology, and then make a quick phone call or send an email to check in and make sure the customer is pleased. This extra bit of personal service, especially at a time when everything is automated, this extra effort will go a long, long way.
  
• Golden Rule: Yes, this one still holds true. Treat the person exactly as you’d want to be treated: with respect, patience, honesty, and action.
  
• Then Again… If you’re dealing with someone who is simply casting the line out and waiting for anyone to take the bait? These folks are called “trolls” – and if all they are trolling for is some attention? By all means, don’t give them the attention they crave. Don’t engage. Your blood pressure will thank you.

Don’t give them the satisfaction, especially on social media.

They really should come up with a “Shhhh…” button, shouldn’t they?
You know how they have the “like” button on Facebook? Who is going to be the first one to come up with the little face with the perpendicular first finger held up over the little cyber lips? Yes, that’d be a good day at the office right there. It’s not threatening, not mean, and the truth is, sometimes people just need to be told to settle down a little bit. In the social media world, this could be perrrrfect!
Remember, keep it positive. And like Jake, just spread some good karma. It’ll come zinging right back at you!

5 Tips to Clean and Speed Up Your Filthy PC

Our computers rarely run as fast as we want or expect them to. Whether you're a Mac or Windows user, it's maddening to sit in front of a taunting hourglass or spinning circle of death, especially when you have work to do.
In the spirit of spring cleaning, we invite you to clean the dust bunnies out of your PC (literally and digitally). Here are five easy ways to get started.

 

1. Organize Everything

Your computing experience could seem slow if you spend eons clicking through endless subfolders or waiting for search to retrieve files. The first step toward a smooth-running PC is to remove human error.

That means setting up an intuitive filing system for your documents to make sure they're always where you want them, when you want them. Clearing and reorganizing your dekstop is an incredibly cathartic experience and will leave you with more peace of mind. Have fun with it — maybe use a grid wallpaper to organize icons precisely before switching back to your usual background.

 

2. Cut Out the Unnecessary

Run disk cleanup. It will free up space on your hard drive and improve the performance of your computer. Picture your PC as a hiker with a heavy backpack — you can help him move faster by unloading all the unnecessary junk you've accumulated — temporary files, duplicate files, downloads — as well as the crapware and trialware that came installed on your machine.

Check out PC Decrapifier to get started culling the herd of useless files bogging your PC down.

 

3. Fight Back

This is a simple proposition but an easy one to overlook: Invest in programs that target spyware, adware, malware and any viruses your computer might catch. This is about finding the right antivirus software for you.
If you do a lot of web surfing, for example, you might need some serious muscle to back you up. Or do you prefer a simple, unobtrusive program to keep your system running?

The Internet is flush with lists of decent, free antivirus programs. Whatever you choose, don't forget you have it — scan as often as possible. Yes, it can take hours to do a full system scan. So set it up to work overnight, while you're asleep, maybe. Getting into a cycle like this will keep your PC running healthy.

 

4. To Defrag or Not to Defrag?

As you use your PC, files get scattered across the system in bits and pieces: fragments. Defragmentation brings them all back together. And while this may not have a noticeable effect on your system speed, it's good to make sure your files are all in one, correct place.
Unless you're using a solid-state drive, you should probably defrag about once a month just to be on the safe side.

 

5. Start Over

There may come a time when your best hope is just to save all your data and wipe your hard drive, then reinstall Windows. This is the scorched earth option. But don't forget to back up all your data beforehand, so you don't lose anything important.
You may want to choose this time to upgrade to a newer operating system, like Windows 8. You should also double-check that you're running the most recent version of your software. If you aren't updating Windows constantly, you can set your PC to do it automatically.
Do you have some PC cleaning tips you'd like to share? Let us know in the comments section.
