Ask yourself how many of the training interventions in your organisation are clearly aligned to current business needs, rather than fulfilling requirements articulated sometime in the distant past, but which have no current relevance. All too often, common sense is anything but common.

It is much, much harder to create a set of fully self-contained instructional materials than it is to develop the components - the explanations, the examples, the demonstrations, the practice exercises, the assessments.

That's why it's so much more difficult to run a workshop for the first time - it can take quite a while to come up with all those anecdotes and examples that bring the event to life. Subject matter experts will find it much easier to tell stories than to articulate what they know in terms of neat and tidy abstractions.

If you want some inspiration for your own drag and drop activities, I'd take a look at the Dragster examples. You pay £45 (around US$70) for an annual license, which seems fair.

As Kosslyn says "The PowerPoint program is like the weather: Everybody likes to complain about it, but nobody does anything about it," (a complaint I articulated rather similarly with my tale of the Emperor's New Slide Show ). There's also a rather curious error in chapter 1, which is mis-titled 'An Introduction to Articulate Presentations'.

However, I thought I should create some content up front both to act as sparks for debate but also as some examples of performance support materials. Well anyway, I chose the Presenter/Quizmaker/Engage suite of products from Articulate and so far I've had a whale of a time (although I'm still going to charge my client).

The panel consisted of representatives from Adobe Captivate , Articulate and Qarbon , along with Jay Cross (yes, I know, I wondered whether he'd just turned up in the wrong room and, given that he's always got something interesting to say, they just allowed him to join in).

In time, learner-generated content will form the major part of the site, providing a wealth of practical examples to inspire those that follow. They also add their reviews of the tools they've been using to the wiki. Could this course function as well without the content that I prepared in advance?

The following table is my updated 2020 attempt at allocating technologies to each of the five categories. I have added a column to explain whether digital content would be an input to the learning processes involved or an output.
