There are many reasons why it is important to continue your education long after graduation, but three reasons seem to stand out more than others. The first being able to stay on top of your career and make sure that you have all the new skills that come with the advancements of technologies. The second being able to earn more money will surely benefit you and your family in the years to come. The third reason, and maybe the most important, is you can fulfill the hunger your spirit and brain has to never stop learning.
The moment we close our eyes to the power that ongoing education can have for our overall health, is the moment we choose to let our emotional health wither away and die. Don't you think it is time that you signed up for online courses today?

New Year’s Resolution- Get your Course Online!
Every week throughout the year Coggno is contacted by trainers, content developers, instructional designers and would-be courseware developers who are searching for a means to take their traditionally off line training, online. Most often they have a specific expertise around a subject or domain that they have spent years developing and delivering in a traditional format, and they have decided to take their training online.
This usually falls into two categories, making the jump from instructor lead training, to an online format, or converting DVD based training onto an LMS format. While this can seem like a daunting task, if it is carefully planned, and executed, making the leap to an online training course can be the beginning of a whole new avenue to deliver and expand your audience.

Theory vs. Practice in Books and Courses on Performance MGMT
Learning not only theory but how to actually implement good performance management in your office or other workplace has the potential to save your organization time and energy wasted in employee turnover. Books can give you theory, but not the physical tools to organize and practice more effective management. This is where LMS performance management courses come in.
What an LMS course in performance management gives you is that interactive learning experience, which has many benefits including the simple fact that it's faster and simpler than reading a book. In addition, its dynamic and interactive nature makes the information more likely to stick in your brain long-term and likelier to totally transform your management practices. The non-interactive nature of books prevents them from having this same function.
You probably already know some tenets of good performance management, but perhaps you don't know how to actually implement those ideas. You may be wondering, how can you foster the drive for success in your employees? Start by creating goal-oriented performance review meetings and appraisals.
Coggno is now offering a free trial for performance review training creators on its learning management system. Create an online course for free, whether it be for internal use, for inclusion in Coggno's E-learning Marketplace, or for outside syndication on hundreds of websites.

Score a Pay Raise at your Performance Review
With the economy on the upswing, you may find it the right time to finally approach your manager about a pay raise. A great context in which to do so is during a successful performance review. If your performance review is less than sparkling, it may not be the best time. So how can you nail your performance review?
Go in prepared. You might first consider taking a brief LMS preparation course. By doing so you'll not only learn all the tips on how to have a successful interview, but many LMS courses also provide practice reviews and checklists to help you prepare.
You'll find out the answers to questions such as: What control can I exercise during my performance review? What will the review cover, and what time periods will be reviewed? How can I showcase my accomplishments from the past year? The more prepared you go in to the interview, of course, the more successful you will be. The response your pay raise appeal receives is also likelier to be positive the stronger case you present for yourself.

How to Gain Leverage During Your Annual Performance Review
Do you recall that feeling you had in grade school the moment you found out that report card time is near? If you had good grades in the past months, you were not at all worried. You may have even been looking forward to it knowing that you are about to get a reward from your parents for a job well done. But if you are unconfident about your performance during the semester, you probably felt butterflies in your stomach.
Hop on to the present and you find yourself reintroduced to that old feeling all over again. Getting your annual performance review is just like getting your report card when you were young. You are told how if you did a great job the past year or not hoping that you will learn from it and set new goals for the future.
Both parties benefit from a performance review – you get to know what your boss expects you to do and you get the opportunity to explain what you want from your job as well. Heading to an annual performance review is not really one of the most exciting events in your life. But instead of giving in to your anxiety as you wait for you grades, there are some things that you can do to lighten up the actual review.
• Have a back up for your points
A good place to start your preparation is with your portion of the review. Look at the points that you mentioned in your review and highlight your achievements. Watch out for weak points that could prompt some questions and think of a good answer if they come up during the review.
• Get ahead of issues and concerns
Predicting possible issues and areas of concern will give you leverage during the review. Even when you are expecting a good discussion, think about certain issues that your boss may raise and what you will say if they come up.
• Know your lapses
You should spend time thinking about your skill and competency lapses and possible solutions to close those gaps. Perhaps your blunders were due to lack of knowledge, insufficient training, poor management or a combination of the three. Know your competency gaps and think about ways to solve them.

Great Language Podcasts for LMS Students
What kind of content should you include in your LMS language course podcast? Choosing interesting material is a subjective task, since everyone has a different concept of what's actually interesting. However, it's the way in which you present the information that makes or breaks your podcast.
Coggno is now offering a free trial for online course creators on its learning management system. Create an online course for free, either for internal use, Coggno's E-learning Marketplace, or for outside syndication on hundreds of websites.
Keep in mind that interesting audio information--especially for language podcasts--is that which varies in texture and tone. Speak slowly, and keep the tone light and fun.
Intersperse music, pieces of interviews, sound bites, etc. throughout your podcast. This is a great way to lend it texture and continuity. Additionally, your dialogue should sound conversational, and the listener should feel like the podcaster is speaking directly to him or her rather than reading from a script. You can also record interviews and discussions, or include clips of these kinds of dialogues to include in the LMS course.
