Thanks to Cammy Bean for alerting me to two more apps for learning technologists. I've loaded them on to my iPhone and taken a look. First up is Connie Malamed 's eLearning Coach app, which is essentially a glossary of instructional design terms. Here's the menu. And here's a typical entry. It's never too late to learn about Gagne's nine events. Kineo has come up with its own e-learning top tips app.

In June I participated in a webinar which Adobe ran as part of its Summer Masterclass series. I know it's taken me two months or more to get round to it, but I did feel the event taught me some interesting lessons. First of all, this was at first sight an elaborately orchestrated event, staged by dreamtek.tv for Adobe. We had a formal panel show set and a full video crew.

The postman has just delivered my copy of Michael Allen's e-Learning Annual 2012 (when I was originally asked to contribute to this book it was going to be a 2011 annual, but that's traditional book publishing for you!). I'm a fan of Michael Allen. I agree with what he says about design and I respect the way his views have evolved in time away from the traditional ADDIE model into something much more agile.

Cammy Bean describes how she has been Taking a TechFast to relieve her symptoms of SoMeFat (social media fatigue), which has been "heightened now with the additional disorder of Multiple Social Network Disorder (Facebook, Twitter, and now Google+ to keep up with!).

A week or so back I was given a sneak preview of a new tool for distributing recorded presentations online called dpcloud. The system allows you to deliver the presentation in three formats: A video of the presentation alone. A video with media alongside (typically slides, but could also be Flash movies, Twitter feeds, web pages, etc.). The media with accompanying audio.

Over on the Onlignment blog , I've been posting up a series of practical guides for digital learning content designers. These guides are not really meant for those who design content full-time, but for the increasing numbers of learning professionals who are occasional designers. Anyway, so far I have completed the following guides: Creating learning podcasts.

I was chatting with a client the other evening after a workshop on blended learning. The client, head of competency development for a large European bank, expressed the opinion to me that a proportion of their employees would miss classroom training if it was to move online, not because of the opportunities the classroom provided for learning or even for networking but because of the respite it provided from the stresses and strains of the day-to-day work, the opportunity to reflect a little awa
