The SkillsCommons project, initiated in 2013 under California State University and MERLOT, led by Gerry Hanley, aimed to create a large repository of educational materials for workforce development. Supported by grants totaling nearly $2 billion from the Trade Adjustment Assistance for Community Colleges and Career Training (TAACCCT) program, it has become the world's largest collection of its kind. With over 180,000 users and 1.6 million downloads, it offers various resources including e-textbooks, online courses, and program management documents. Hanley's experience as both the executive director of MERLOT and the director of SkillsCommons has influenced its design and operation. The project team has been responsive to user needs, continuously developing new features and functions to enhance navigation and support users effectively.

Michael Young was working one-on-one with a student when he heard a voice: "Maybe pause a little bit longer and wait for the student to respond."

Small talk and cold emailing will only take you so far, but these five tactics can get you noticed—and remembered—for all the right reasons.

The better way to connect with superstars isn’t to get in front of them and ask them for things. If you want to meet them–and break through and build a lasting connection–the best strategy is to make them come to you.” Here are a few ways to do that.

Using the tools of social psychology can encourage personal and organizational success.
Dr. Helen Teague's curator insight,
March 6, 2018 4:56 PM
From original scoop: "Running a successful organization requires lots of moving pieces running smoothly in tandem. At the heart of every organization are people just like you and me, whose performance can be influenced in a positive direction. Recently, companies like Google and Facebook have been redefining the standards of workplace culture, and in turn seeing improvements in employee satisfaction and company performance. Now, your company might not be large enough to have a dedicated HR (or “People Ops”) department, but there are some exciting takeaways from social psychology that you can apply to benefit your business. Reciprocity Principle Reciprocity is one of the famous “Six Principles of Persuasion” defined in Robert B. Cialdini, Ph.D.'s book, Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion. The idea is that we feel pressure to repay others for what they have given us or done for us. We often even give back more than we were initially given to minimize any guilt associated with the initial favor. Founders and CEOs can use this to their advantage. Internally, this can help improve or repair work relationships, win over co-workers and build consensus. As Dr. Cialdini writes, reciprocity is so powerful that it can overcome feelings of suspicion or dislike toward the person who gives the gift or favor. As a small business owner, how about giving gifts or bonuses on holidays or birthdays? You could also offer to bring back coffee for the office or surprise your colleagues with breakfast or lunch. A kind gesture can go a long way. Outside the office, the reciprocity principle can help you succeed in negotiations, build valuable business partnerships and win over investors — or even customers! When we launched our product and were at our first trade show full of retail managers and buyers, we realized that people only stopped at our booth if we handed them a free sample. So we handed samples to everyone who walked by! In turn, they stopped, listened to our pitch, and 99% of the time they placed an order for their store. In those first few hours, we sold over 100 cases into 100 new stores."

There’s a difference between a “compliment” and an “acknowledgement,” and it sometimes comes down to a single word.

The more we rely on AI and machine learning, the more work we need social scientists and humanities experts to do. |

Color psychology studies (and there are many) reveal changes in the body and brain when people view certain colors. These changes influence performance, creativity, health, stress levels, focus, communication, and emotions. That's some powerful influence!

Use Spring cleaning to do more than giving your workspace a good dusting, throwing out piles of no longer relevant printouts and magazines, and fishing out those chocolate wrappers, forgotten coffee mugs and apple cores. Why not give it a fresh makeover, a change of color, a little rearranging, update the wall decor. Fresh surroundings = fresh outlook = fresh ideas = fresh business. You'll feel better and perform better. 1

Some goals aren’t clearly sequential. Here’s the case for rethinking your approach.
Dr. Helen Teague's curator insight,
March 6, 2018 4:55 PM
From the original scoop: "Traditional goal setting focuses on the beginning and the end—start strong and keep your eye on the prize. Unfortunately, that process doesn’t work for every kind of goal, says Scott Young, author of How to Change a Habit. “A lot has been taught around the classic self-help style of Zig Ziglar or Tony Robbins where you have a clear goal, you visualize it, write it down, and focus on the starting point,” says Young, cofounder of the career development course Top Performer. “Some goals, though, aren’t clearly sequential.” The middle can and should be your starting point when you’re setting a goal where you’re unclear of the level you can achieve within a particular timeframe. This is especially the case with daunting, unfamiliar goals where you don’t yet have a strong sense of the big picture."

I've personally experienced this burnout. It's a tough one. It's often difficult to find the courage to call it out and do something to try and change. What I found is if you have a job that on it's own has stress, just based on the nature of the job, and you add on demanding management and peers who you don't click with you are in a really difficult situation. As mentioned in the article, team dynamics are a really huge ingredient in making a successful work environment and ultimately a successful business. 1

Human factors are significant contributors to accidents and injuries and stress is a factor that affects all humans. The right amount of stress can assist performance and too much stress can can create the conditions for decreased performance and an increase in the chances for an accident or injury.

A few people have however grumbled that blaze flash website header design does not work. They say that the glimmer film takes too long to load, thus the vast majority will end up anxious and leave. To be honest, this is consistent with some degree. However, in all actuality, there are approaches to maintain a strategic distance from this. For example, rather than influencing the entire motion picture to stack at one time, the creator could separate it into parts. |
