In the weeks leading up to Learning Technologies UK, our inboxes, news feeds and direct messages were awash with invitations. Other learning developers and training companies were desperate for us to visit their stands and attend their talks.
Keen to impress, they used all the jargon at their disposal. They […]
Virtual reality is making scenario-based elearning more effective (and enjoyable) than ever.
Here at Ashford, we love a good story. A well-designed, realistic workplace scenario can be more motivating and relevant for learners than linear approaches to learning. (And besides, they’re fun to create!)

This year, we’re determined not to break our resolutions – so we’ve decided to tell everybody what they are.
