The Results Are In!

Thank you to everyone who answered the 2016 InReach Customer Survey. It’s certainly not an easy task to speak honestly, but you did and your positive feedback was incredible! From discussing your overall satisfaction to specific department recognition, we could not be happier with all you had to share!

Training to Be the Best!

The Olympics are now over and the medals distributed. Winners and “losers” have packed their bags and gone home to cheering crowds or supportive friends and family. If you are like me, you admire the hard work that goes into competing. Qualifying for the Olympics doesn’t just happen. The opportunity to compete and win is achieved through discipline, dedication, and training. The same can be said for speakers—being an effective speaker doesn’t just happen. Sometimes a subject-matter expert is not always an effective speaker, because knowing and speaking are two different skill sets.  I’m sure you’ve all experienced a top-named individual in [...]

A Minute on the Internet

The Internet, whether you love or hate it, it’s everywhere and used practically by everyone. Aspects of everyday life like asking for directions, purchasing household items, of course getting continuing education and hey, even finding romance, can all be done online. Such easy access at your fingertips; how wonderful! When thinking about the fact that the Internet is so integral to our way of living, you do have to wonder what exactly users spend their time on. Probably Google-searching something, updating a status on Facebook, sending an email - all come to mind right off the bat. And in an article [...]

Online Summer School Isn’t What It Used to Be

Simply put – it’s just better. Ask any professional who meets their continuing education requirements online and they will tell you that the ability to get CE hours whenever and wherever is a huge plus. In the years since continuing education (CE, CME, CPE, CLE, etc.) was brought online for professional associations and other organizations, we’ve heard a few great stories about CE happening in exotic locations, like islands in the Pacific, glaciers in Alaska, a National Forest or even sailing in the Caribbean. Being able to do this, is a testament to the portability of online continuing education and a [...]

Video Killed the Radio Star* but Sure Adds to My CE Online Program

When online professional education was first made available to lawyers, doctors, nurses, accountants and other professionals, end-users’ expectations were modest. If the learner could connect, stay connected, and hear the presentation, it was an online educational success!  Several decades later, learner expectations have changed dramatically. Expectations have changed because technology has improved significantly over the years with many added interactive features and functions available with the delivery of online learning.  However, expectations are greatest with the millennial (also known as Gen Y) professionals because a technological world is all they have ever known. Understanding and working to meet the expectations of [...]

The Long and Short of It: Microlearning for Professionals

Microlearning courses are short, interactive, and targeted, addressing a single educational objective.  Micro course offerings are an expectation of young professionals, given they grew up consuming short and direct online content like Ted Talks.  Micro course offerings are effective for all professionals because it is easier for learners to identify and receive content that is relevant to their educational needs, given the single and targeted educational objective of a micro learning course.  Professional associations and other continuing education providers have been slow adopters of this format, but the time is now to develop a plan.  Your learners expect it, and the [...]
