Now that we know what PBL is and have seen an example of it's use in a corporate environment, let's dive into developing Project Based Lessons for corporate training. Project Based Lessons begin with what I believe to be the most critical aspect of the instructional design process, the Driving Question. A great way to stay focused on authentic concerns is to enroll the help of learners in the brainstorming process. | ELEARNING BLENDER NOVEMBER 23, 2009 Moodle Reporting and User Management: Is MOOMIS the answer? Moodle does a lot of things great, but site wide reporting and bulk user management are definitely not included in those great things. If you are a Moodle administrator for an organization I am sure you know the pain of having to go into each course site to produce grade reports for multiple courses. In my case, I have to send out a weekly report listing every users grades in every course they have taken on Moodle. This means I have to go into each course site and export a grade report to an excel spreadsheet and then merge all of those separate spreadsheets into one big grade report. | | | | | |
| ELEARNING BLENDER APRIL 16, 2009 Moodle: Email Notfication Problems A very common theme in the Moodle forums is problems with email notifications for things like submitted assignments, forum posts, graded assignments, etc. It's good to know that I am not the only one having these kinds of LMS problems. was having issues with email notifications only working every once in a while and I finally had time to dive into the Moodle community and research the issue. In my research I found that there are two common problems Moodle admins have with email notifications. Turns out I was having both of these problems. The first issue was the tough one to figure out. | ELEARNING BLENDER FEBRUARY 3, 2009 Software Implementation Training Plan I've been working on what I consider a large project and I am hoping to use this post as a sounding board for my plan. The project involves training approximately 180 users on a ERP software program in a chain of retail stores. Please leave a comment if you have any suggestions that can contribute to the success of this software implementation. The overall plan consists of a blend of training solutions including eLearning , Instructor Led Training, and Job Aids. Instructor led classes will begin 2 weeks prior to the implementation. There's the plan now I just need to execute. | ELEARNING BLENDER DECEMBER 14, 2009  Why Moodle? Why Moodle? One of the most frequently asked questions I get from blog readers is "Why did I choose to go with Moodle" over other Learning Management Systems. The answer is simple; Moodle gives you the most bang for your buck, especially if you don't have a lot of bucks. huge factor in my case is that I had zero budget to implement eLearning in my organization so I didn't have many options. | ELEARNING BLENDER SEPTEMBER 21, 2009 What is Project Based Learning? In my last post I set out on a quest to dissect Project Based Learning in the corporate world by starting some conversations and writing some blog posts. believe that project based learning is ideally suited for adults in corporate training but sadly there is not much information available. am hoping to shed light on some best practices that will improve the effectiveness of my project based lessons and hopefully help other instructional designers out there looking to get started with project based learning in a corporate organization. So, what is project based learning? Project Based Learnin | | | | | | | |

ELEARNING BLENDER | THURSDAY, AUGUST 20, 2009  Telecollaboration and Project Based Training
I just finished another course in the Ed Tech program at San Diego State called " Advanced Teaching with Tech." Being that the class is called "Advanced Teaching with Tech," I thought we would dive deeper into using technology but unfortunately we didn't dive much deeper than Google Apps and Questgarden. However, I did pick up some new instructional design skills that I will be able to apply at work right away. This post describes a couple of projects I developed for this class and what I learned from them. Check it out and let me know if you have any suggestions. MORE >> -
ELEARNING BLENDER | MONDAY, JULY 27, 2009 Adobe Captivate: "Continue" or "Go to next Slide."
I have a confession to make. was making a stupid mistake in Adobe Captivate 3 that was seriously affecting the performance of my eLearning tutorials. When I first started using Captivate I was under a tough deadline for my first project and did not have the time to take any classes or tutorials. bought a book and dove right in. was confident in my skills with Powerpoint and Captivate's not that much different, right? Wrong, Captivate has different options for advancing the tutorial with action buttons and thanks to the power of Twitter , I found out I was using the wrong option. MORE >> -
ELEARNING BLENDER | MONDAY, JUNE 1, 2009 Jumping on the Tweeter Bandwagon
Okay fine, I'll check out Twitter and see what everyone is talking about! Until now I have held out from jumping on the Twitter bandwagon because of the overwhelming amount of information I am already taking in through Facebook , LinkedIn , Blogging and my RSS feeds in Google Reader. However, it is all of these resources that are encouraging me to start using Twitter. The final tipping point is that my Summer school course, "Technologies for Teaching" covers Twitter and it looks like some class activities may take place using Twitter. So, I finally set up an account @joe_deegan. MORE >> -
ELEARNING BLENDER | MONDAY, JULY 6, 2009 eLearning Learning Upgrades
Tony Karrer strikes again with more improvements to the eLearning Learning site. I've mentioned in previous posts how useful the eLearning Learning site is as a research tool and it just got better with a few nice upgrades. Best of - I used to subscribe to the "Full" RSS feed for eLearning Learning but that can be difficult to keep up with. Now there is an RSS option for the " Best Of " feeds which according to to Tony, "consists of feeds that are limited in number and point to the content that is the best stuff based on social signals."

Looking back at my top posts of 2009, it is obvious what I spent most of the year working on. 2009 was all about Moodle and Project Based Learning for me.
