The Art & Science of Elearning

The Art & Science of eLearning is a practical look at what separates decent eLearning from the kind that actually improves performance. Mike Taylor breaks it down into three essentials: the right stuff, the right way, and the right visuals. Along the way, he challenges a stubborn bad habit in workplace learning—using training to solve problems training cannot fix—and shows how better decisions about attention, cognitive load, memory, and visual design lead to stronger learning experiences. The core message is simple: when you stop stuffing courses with information and start designing with purpose, you create eLearning that works.

Mike Taylor is a learning designer, speaker, and writer who helps L&D professionals create learning people actually pay attention to, remember, and use. His work blends learning science, instructional design, marketing, and communication to make workplace learning more engaging and effective.
