Where are you most productive? Is it really in a cube farm? I know I feel the way Jason Fried of 37Signals describes it in his TEDxMidwest talk : that by going into the office to work I’m trading my work day “for a series of work moments.&# Creative workers (including instructional designers) do best with uninterrupted time to work, something in short supply in the office.

Spent the day Friday attending the CLO Summit India , a day well spent with some nice presentations and as is the wont with such conferences, some not-so-nice presentations. While it didn’t behoove such a conference to include sales pitches, it didn’t surprise me all that much. I’d rather focus on the interesting bits, and perhaps the most interesting was a presentation made by Dilip Chenoy, CEO and MD of the National Skill Development Corporation of India.

by Rick Zanotti One question I get asked a lot is "How can I get my eLearning audio to the point so that I sound like a DJ?" The most sure-fire way to sound like a DJ is to have been born with great pipes (i.e. vocal cords)! But very few of us have been so blessed. So what's an eLearning developer to do? Here's some simple techniques to make your voice sound deeper.

Nothing is as useful as a good question. Organizational evaluation and performance improvement are essentially about asking the right questions.

This survey was conducted online in January 2010 and received responses from 1,440 executives “representing the full range of regions, industries, functional specialties, and seniority.”. I wrote about this lack of training impact almost 20 years ago in a book that I co-authored with Robert O.

I’ve written various blogs about why gratuitous eLearning images are bad. Our images should be relevant and be used as a teaching aid. It has always been interesting to me how many “bad images&# are used in eLearning. Especially since many of us are primarily visual learners. This probably happens because typing text is a lot easier and faster than creating meaningful images.

It's easy to think of conferences as rather old hat - top-down and push in an era that is increasingly bottom-up and pull; very un-green when we face huge environmental challenges; very extravagant when everyone but the Chinese is running out of money. But having spent some time now immersed in The Power of Pull by John Hagel III, John Seely Brown and Lang Davison (2010), I'm convinced that conferences will have an important role to play for years to come.

We spent most of our time in and around Cape Town, visiting schools in the city and in the townships. We also took the motorboat out to Robben Island - the notorious former penal colony throughout South Africa's apartheid regime.
