| Page 1 of 1 | Previous | Next | E-BITES SEPTEMBER 17, 2009 What does a real life e-learning strategy look like? Here it is eL Strategy Blueprint 2008- 2009. I was reading a post recently about e-learning strategies [link] and one of the things that I totally agreed with was the fact that there aren’t that many examples of e-learning strategies available on the internet ! Now as much as I like to take I also acknowledge I gotta give back too ! So here’s my 2 cents worth. have created a few e-learning strategies in my past roles and I have learnt a lot about them along the way. am going to share here an e-learning strategy I developed about 12 months ago. | E-BITES NOVEMBER 17, 2009 Tips for managing e-learning projects Just read a great post on tips for managing e-learning projects: [link]. think the most important tip is ‘ Communicate, communicate, communicate!’ ’ - I have found we become too caught up in emails and our own deadlines etc that we forget to touch base to see how everyone is coming along. One of the things that really worked for us with our last big e-learning project were daily 5 minute ‘huddles’ At the beginning of the day my team would gather for a brief on how the day before had gone, any major issues or hiccups and plans for the day. | | | | | |
| E-BITES OCTOBER 8, 2009 Argentina and radical education Going through some old docs on my laptop i came across this paper i wrote during my Master’s program at UTS. It is not e-learning related but it may be an interesting read for some. In the paper i discuss the Recuperated Factory Movement in Argentina (circa 2001 – 2006) from an adult education perspective. bit of a snapshot: Buenos Aires, December 2001: “Que se vayan todos” (they all must go) yelled by millions of Argentineans to the beat of pots and pans was the catalyst that signalled the country’s rapid fall into a social and economic abyss. | E-BITES SEPTEMBER 10, 2009 e-Learning Methodology Toolkit: templates to design and manage your e-learning projects Part of my role here at work is to put a bit of structure into our e-learning development process. So i have been working on an e-Learning Methodology Toolkit – basically a set of documents and templates that will help my team structure the way they work – improving the overall analysis, design and deliverables we produce ! Not to mention reduce our timeframes for development !! So here it is. eL Methodology Toolkit. can’t say i have created all the documents from scratch – i have gathered some and produced others. Hopefully someone will find them useful ! | E-BITES OCTOBER 21, 2009 What would be the best area/scope to focus on when launching e-learning and trying to get quick wins? I recently received an email from an old work mate who is moving into an e-learning role for the first time. He asked some good questions and I thought I’d share one of them here: What would be the best area/scope to focus on when launching e-learning and trying to get quick wins? guess you could say this is the biggest slice of the pie! Everyone wants the quick wins up front – it paves the way for a smoother ride and opens a lot of doors. But it’s a lot easier said than done and if you get it wrong it can be costly (both in terms of actual budget and reputation). | E-BITES SEPTEMBER 16, 2009 Discovering a gold mine of e-learning information, knowledge and expertise I have been a fan of Tony Karrer for a while now – he’s one of the best e-learning bloggers around. One of the things that Tony has done for the e-learning community is start e-learning learning. Haven’t heard of e-learning learning? You’re missing out on a gold mine of e-learning information, knowledge and expertise ! In Tony’s own words, e-learning learning is a community collecting and organizing the best information on the web about eLearning. And there’s one more reason e-learning learning is very cool – cause my blog is now included ! bites now contributes content. | | | | | | | |

E-BITES | THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8, 2009 Can a program design model ensure quality and consistency?
Does the perfect program design model exist? If it does, can I apply it in my work place to solve the quality issues we have with designing training packages? This is a paper i wrote a few years ago - The aim was to deepen my understanding of program design and develop or adapt a suitable model to use as reference in my work place at the time. wanted to ensure my team maintained an acceptable level of quality throughout our training design projects. The motivation for this paper came from a workplace issue at the time. Our roles consisted of designing and delivering training to the business. MORE >> -

E-BITES | WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 2009 Training across business lines and languages – the multilingual jungle
The first project i handled was quite a complex one – supporting the rollout of a new system to users across The Netherlands. We produced 10 e-learning modules in 2 languages, support documentation, trainer packs, and an updated e-campus site in under 2 months ! Lots of work ! So here’s a bit of info : In April business trainers approached us to let us know that there was going to be a big software rollout in the Dutch retail organisation and that they needed e-learning lessons – in English AND Dutch ! We took a step back – asked ‘What’s the real problem here?’ Our Solution. MORE >> -

E-BITES | THURSDAY, DECEMBER 3, 2009 Online Educa Berlin 2009 : what a day!
And it’s not even over yet ! didn’t realize how tiring tweeting was.can’t doze off. It’s been a jam packed day and it’s so difficult to pick the winning sessions. went for the corporate ones and i think i may have missed the mark today – lots of info, stats and practices that have been around for a while were presented. haven’t really seen anything that blew me away. But on saying that it is good to see that companies are embracing blended learning and getting more serious about it. Have they out grown the rapid stuff? Getting more sophisticated? MORE >>
