It’s common for us to be influenced by societal norms and expectations. We often allow others to determine what is considered “cool” or acceptable, forgetting that everyone has unique preferences. Unfortunately, this can result in a lack of individuality and even judgment toward those who don’t fit the mold. I think it’s time to challenge […]
Can online assessments be trusted? This will likely not be a popular position, but it depends on how you choose to look at it. I believe that if you are asking yourself this question, then you are looking at the situation in the wrong light. Generally speaking, and minus things like psychological assessments, an assessment […]
The “Adversity Nexus,” also known as “Robertson’s Cycle,” is a comprehensive model that outlines the interconnected stages governing the rise and decline of individuals, organizations, and nation-states. The model emphasizes the interplay between adversity, leadership, growth, abundance, safety, and the potential pitfalls of focusing excessively on security. The key stages of the Adversity Nexus are […]
Since my last LMS post, I have received several questions regarding LMS systems. One question, in particular, deserves an article. The question was, is it possible for social media to replace current LMS communication tools? That is a fantastic question! However, the answer is a little tricky.

QUESTION: What LMS System Would You Recommend? That’s a tricky question. However, since I have received this question more than once, I will provide my answer in article form. Remember that this is an opinion, and your conclusions may differ for different reasons. Estimates have suggested that more than 800 LMS vendors are competing in […]
Can you imagine a world or a nation where education is valued? For thousands of years, education was highly sought after. Unfortunately, something has changed here in the United States. Today, we can scroll through social media and see memes suggesting that advanced education is worthless. We live in a nation where students cheat on […]
There are different schools of thought regarding the best approach to education and learning (which are different). Cognitivism stands out as one of my favorites because this learning theory focuses on the processes involved in learning and (in my experience) tends to resonate with the learner considerably more than others. This is probably because Cognitivists […]
