Designing eLearning For iPads (LT 2013 – Slide Deck)

Upside Learning

We have been talking a lot about iPads (by iPads we also imply other ‘tablets’) on our blog for the past couple of weeks. And it’s for a reason. We believe that 2013 is going to be the year of tablets and smartphones, and for us, at Upside Learning, eLearning on iPads (tablets) and mEnablement (as we call it) are powerful themes – ones that can get organizations started towards mLearning.

Are you supporting new fashioned learning in the workplace?

Jane Hart

So what is “new fashioned” learning? Well let’s start by thinking about what “old fashioned” learning is? “Old-fashioned” learning is being taught or trained – that is having all you need to know neatly packaged up in a course or programme or workshop or e-learning course.

The cognitive power of error

Clive on Learning

This week I chaired three very enjoyable sessions at Learning Technologies 2013.

With a Region capture, you decide where an images borders are. Depending on why you’re using a screenshot, sometimes more context means more information.

Knowing versus Doing What Your People Want

Training Industry

I’ve asked for you. A friend of mine is fond of saying, “What is less important is your understanding of the practice of leadership.
