Picture from insidehighered.com. As the year comes to an end, I find myself looking at the emerging trends in our industry, particularly in regards to e-learning. Arguably the most exciting advancement is the new Tin-Can API as we move away from the clunky SCORM protocols of the past. New development tools have also hit the scene, particularly among the big players with products like Articulate Storyline and Adobe Captivate 6.

Open-source software has ushered in a new era of possibilities in the learning space. For a while now, Moodle has been the world’s most popular open-source learning management system. It has enabled organizations of all sizes to deliver and track learning to (likely) millions of people across the globe. Lately, however, Moodle is becoming rather stale.

Merry Christmas! I hope that everyone is having a relaxing time with their friends and family this holiday. I am resting myself, but couldn’t keep my thoughts away from the LearnDash WordPress LMS plugin for very long – so here I am! (I need to type rather quietly though as I have a few people taking a nap around me). I have already made some predictions about what is to come for e-learning in 2013 , but here I am to make yet another.

It’s that time of year where all of us need to take a breather and step away from our daily passions for a bit to spend quality time with friends and family. This Christmas is extra special on my end in that I am getting married in 48hrs! Following that there will be some solid family time and general celebration. Naturally, during this time I will be away from the computer and have limited availability to respond to your inquiries.

If there is one area that is often overlooked in the realm of e-learning, it is effectively implementing voice overs. Doing voice overs is an art in itself, more than most people think. What you think would only take 30 minutes ends up taking 30 days as you constantly find yourself recording and editing – again and again. In fact, this is why many people end up outsourcing the voice over duties to a professional, or even scrap it altogether.
