This fall I launched a series of self-paced online courses. This was the company's first attempt at self-paced online training. Courses were served entirely online and learner results were tracked. I used a combination of in house custom developed content and 3rd party content. The courses developed in house were based on simulations and interactions.

The smart TV is an idea that has been around for a long time now. It's an idea that has value but technology and innovation has not quite found the right formula to make it happen on a wide scale. Over the past few years many devices have been popping up with their own formulas. Microsoft's Xbox is a great example of this. I can Twitter, Facebook, play games, watch movies, and voice chat with friends all from my TV (via Xbox).

I just finished a new post at the Integrated Learning Services blog about how to use your own custom buttons in Captivate. This had me thinking -- what is the best way to make buttons? My strengths are in web coding and not graphic design but I enjoy tinkering with graphics design and I am trying to learn more. I used to do this in Paint Shop Pro. PSP has some great built in button shapes that I can use.

It's been a busy time for me lately. Thus the lack of posts recently. I finally upgraded my good ol' normal phone to a smart phone recently. I'm loving it! I now have the Motorola Droid phone. And since I'm in the U.S. and don't have the ability to take my phone to any network, that means I'm a Verizon customer. Luckily Verizon has great service in the area I work and live so I'm a happy camper.
