We learned an enormous amount about developing elearning courses and also learned that the marketplace is. fragmented.

Upside Learning

Last week I was at the eLearning Network’s 25th Birthday Bash in London. It was a fantastic event with some great speakers and an opportunity to learn drumming. I spoke (for 5 min) on how mobile enables informal learning. Here’s a summary of my talk. Informal Learning.

Absorb LMS

It seems as if almost every organization I speak to wants to use a learning management system (LMS) in a different way. One company I recently met with uses a magazine subscription-like business model to sell bundles of courses: A customer signs up for an annual subscription. The person immediately gets access to some courses. In the second month of the subscription, they get access to new courses and can continue to access the courses from month one.

Non-verbal communication for online facilitators

Joitske Hulsebosch eLearning

At the University I did communication studies as one of my subjects and I always liked non-verbal communication. As someone who is really enormously mirroring others non-verbal behaviours - it made me notice how often I do this. For instance when someone folds her arms and we have an intense conversation, I am also folding my arms. I can also listen with lots of attention - I'm the kind of person who at the end of the party didn't notice all the things going on because I was only paying attentio

Ugly Babies, Lipstick on Pigs, and Performance Support

Ontuitive

When our son, Ryan, was born it was somewhat of a difficult delivery. His head was misshapen and some of his features were swollen. Regardless, the first words from everyone who stopped by to see him were “What a beautiful baby.” Nothing could have been further from the truth. But if someone had said, “My that’s an ugly baby,” they most certainly would have been dropped from the “close friends” list.

11 Steps to Effective E-Learning Voice Overs [INFOGRAPHIC]

LearnDash

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.

The short video below provides some popular use cases for ScreenDraw as well as instructions for setting it up.

Learning Design Models Are Fine: But Are They Practical?

Mindflash

One of the most important things a learning experience (LX) designer can do is apply a sound, repeatable process to one’s designs. The problem I have with design processes is that they are often too vague and do not actually tell you what to do in the moment. For example, take a look at the A in ADDIE. Analyze. The books on ADDIE will generally tell you that before you begin creating a learning experience, you will want to figure out what is needed.
