The tech industry and science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields have a long and rich history… of being male-dominated. But despite such little representation, there’s no denying the indelible and incredibly large impact women have had on the industry and history.  Ada Lovelace, widely considered to be the world’s first computer programmer, wrote the first algorithm intended to be processed by a machine. Her work laid the foundation for modern computing. Rear Admiral Grace M. Hopper developed the first compiler, which led to the creation of the programming languages we use ..read more

Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock for the past few months, chances are you’ve caught one or two (or seventeen) conversations about artificial intelligence (AI) and ChatGPT. It’s a hot topic thanks to recent public releases of some deeply impressive (and for some, concerning) AI systems. In the art world, prompt-driven AI tools like Midjourney can create stunning visuals on demand. And text-based ChatGPT can output words, poems, essays, and even decently written code. AI and machine learning (ML) strategies have been quietly employed in many pieces of technology for decades. But this expl ..read more

E-learning content has come a long way since it first made an appearance on the digital scene. In the early days it resembled its physical counterparts (e.g. course catalogs, digital textbooks). Then came online videos. Social media exploded in the 2010s and you got microlearning, digital-first tools, and learning management systems. Today, digital “content” is less of a neat, packaged product and more of a full blown day-to-day experience. As a consequence, it’s more important than ever to have a comprehensive and nuanced e-learning content strategy. We ran a webinar on this exact topic, ent ..read more

Customer education refers to the process of providing information, resources, and training to customers to help them realize the full value of your products or services. It includes courses, peer supported learning, product tutorials, webinars, user guides, FAQs, and other resources. Educational content can be designed to both acquire and onboard new customers and to engage and retain existing ones. If you think this sounds incredibly important and useful, congrats! You’re absolutely right. Customer education can provide massive benefits to organizations with: Complex products that are frequ ..read more

Are you hungry? We sure hope so, because we’ve just finished preparing a big, wholesome batch of fresh data, locally sourced from over 1500 workers in France, Germany, Italy, and the UK. This research explored the factors that most impact employee turnover, as well as the role learning programs play in employee retention and attrition. The results were interesting, though perhaps not shocking. You won’t be surprised to hear that people often become unhappy in a role if they aren’t learning anything new. Or that they tend to care about opportunities for personal and professional growth. Still ..read more

The pressure is on for businesses of all sizes. As the UK navigates the post-pandemic economy with rising inflation and prepares to endure a macro-economic downturn, many organisations are going into survival mode, highlights Mike Byrne, Vice President of Sales EMEA at Docebo. Historically, during periods of economic uncertainty, L&D projects were once considered non-essential. But, as many businesses cut budgets and longer-term planning is shelved in favour of business-critical operations and short-term priorities, retaining existing employees has never been more crucial ..read more

The comprehensive LMS pricing guide: here’s what makes up the cost A learning management system is a big investment that drives innovation, growth, and ultimately untapped revenue. Unfortunately, like most everything else, it comes with a price tag. But not to fear! When you look at what an LMS costs at the forefront, it can look more intimidating than it should. This is a radical thought, so hold onto your socks (kidding, it’s not really radical at all). Before you even start looking at pricing, you should look at how expensive your current problems are to your business. We’ve all had a car ..read more

When it comes to HR, there is no such thing as a “one size fits all” solution. From recruitment to payroll to onboarding, all these different functions fall within the umbrella of Human Resources and have a need for multiple systems with specific competencies to get the job done! Meanwhile, every company’s unique workforce comes with its own unique tech stack — what a headache! As you can imagine, this variation becomes a nightmare for integration. Especially when it comes to the essential task of connecting all that important data together to empower decision-making. Fortunately, as the adva ..read more

Imagine a successful medium-sized business, from any industry you want. Now picture all the different roles there: There’s an accounts and sales team. Marketing. Product. Maybe an in-house creative team. Project managers. HR. Finance. It’s a complex ecosystem. Now, imagine if none of those people and departments could talk to each other. Perfectly siloed, in radio silence. How long would that business last? It sounds unthinkable, right? And for any successful business, it would be. But what’s incredible is that this is precisely the situation many organizations find themselves in with their so ..read more
