By Michael Atkinson and Sarah Polhill | Now is the time for educators to have a concrete “to do” list for moving their courses online. We wanted to take this opportunity to provide educators with a list of the basic components of an online course and helpful resources to speed up…

By Jessy Polzer, Michael Atkinson, Sarah Polhill, and Richard Mee | With the worldwide outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID-19), life is asking a lot of almost everyone right now. Even more than usual. As we speak, teachers across the world are scrambling to move their instruction online. Students are concerned about meeting educational…

By Haanim Galvaan | My high school biology teacher was very serious. She wasn’t quick to smile, she was stern and almost never laughed. That is why on the day she made a joke about sphincters, I laughed. I laughed way more than I should have. The lesson was about the difference…

I have a feeling that most employees of Construct get asked the same question I do all the time: “So, what is instructional design?” At some point, most of us probably had the same question. The answer to this question first came to me in the book Design for How People…

“As a disruptive innovation—an innovation that transforms a sector from one that was previously complicated and expensive into one that is far simpler and more affordable—the rise of online learning carries with it an unprecedented opportunity to transform the schooling system into a student-centric one that can affordably customize for…

There is a problem with the way we enter the world of work. Students are paying large amounts of money for education only to find upon graduating that their degrees aren't valued.

“Please buy one from me. I don’t have enough money to go to school.” Those are the first sentences a young boy utters in a clip that went viral last year. The boy looks no older than ten in the video. He’s poor, selling trinkets on the streets of Cambodia in…

Data-Driven Strategy Our technology allows us to provide real value from the data behind learning- we can do this by evaluating the data we collect to develop a greater knowledge about learners through looking at their choices, actions, and results while using an online learning system. Using this strategy has allowed…

Universities are getting digital and moving their learning and classrooms online. It's no surprise why: they can engage a larger number of learners, create a more relaxed and flexible learning environment, and allow students to learn more in their own time. So why should you take an online course? More skills in…

Roi Shillo, Chief Technology Officer at Construct, recently had the opportunity to give a presentation on using mobile approaches with learning.

The holidays are over and it’s time to begin planning for the new year. This is an exciting chance to start looking forward to all the new trends, technology, and opportunities that will be introduced within the next 12 months. It seems that newer generations such as Millennials have it all,…

We’ve all been there - the typical learning experience. We sit in a room and we’re inundated with visual and audio information from the ’sage on-stage’ and his or her slides and documents. If we’re lucky enough to be part of an “innovative” approach, we might be inundated virtually instead-…

Why are you much more likely to find a concert ticket than a CD in your Christmas stocking and what does this tell us about the future of learning design? Last year, we were at Aston University talking about the future of business education with a great crowd made up of…

Collaborative learning is a great way to learn and develop skills. When everyone comes together to focus on a challenge with colleagues of different levels of an organization, different inputs provide a sharing experience to solve problems faster and get better results and develop skills. Each person brings in new…

Just over a week ago, November 15th, marked six years since we were born as Proversity in London, UK. To celebrate the occasion, we hosted a company-wide, global celebration to honor all the growth we have achieved since we started as a small team in a modest office in Trafalgar…
