Just like a phone, tablets bring the advantage of portability and flexibility as you can access the internet and your apps from anywhere with an internet connection.

Here at Pathways we specialize in all things training and eLearning, and as such, we have created microlearning training videos for several different clients. Basically, microlearning means modules that deliver content in small bursts, for example, live action videos or whiteboard animations with a duration of 2-3 minutes (maximum 4 minutes); but after the content has been produced, how do we distribute it to our learners? Using Learning Management Systems Like many of our cl

I wrote recently about the fact that virtual reality is the next evolution in eLearning and that it will be the next big trend in training. The reason why virtual reality will change the way in which we do training, is because virtual Reality (VR) offers new and innovative ways to engage with customers and learners (note Pathways Training and eLearning was the first developer of virtual reality eLearning using 360 video in Canada). Virtual reality eLearning allows simulation

A Learning Management System or LMS is the backbone for hosting and deploying your eLearning. A LMS is a management system that lets you up upload, maintain and administer eLearning courses, once uploaded learners are then able to launch and take eLearning from a variety of devices, providing they have a network connection.
