The eLearning Coach

Short of performing a science fiction mind-meld, how can you efficiently transfer content from the brain of a subject matter expert (SME) into a form you can use? In case you’re new at this, instructional designers often interview subject matter experts to access their stream of knowledge. SMEs will often provide content resources and review design documents, scripts and media assets for accuracy.

I’m happy to announce that Instructional Design Guru , my new reference and performance support app for instructional designers, is now available for the iPhone. It defines over 450 terms associated with learning experience design, drawn from the fields of instructional design, cognitive psychology, social media, multimedia, technology and law.

Some people dance with their iPods. I learn with mine. I’m addicted to podcasts because they’ve changed my life. It’s the only way I know to keep up with subjects and topics of interest without taking away from tasks that must be done. I listen while driving, working out and washing dishes. Although there are many education-related podcasts, there are surprisingly few devoted to eLearning in the workplace.
