Sometimes a kind of introduction to break the ice with audio can be good. Especially if you want audio input. We’ve tried a few different ice breakers. Interaction to learn the webinar tool is always a good idea. Many people freely text chat, but don’t like to speak online. Be careful with screen sharing and video.

What audio and video do I have? Do I need audio or video capture? Right now Flash is causing performance issues on mobile devices. This will be improved, but there will be issues. What will the impact be of those issues? Complex animations? Can these be Flash elements within an HTML wrapper? Do I need raw sockets? Who is developing it?

You can put the audio or video inside a SCORM course and load it into an LMS. They currently provide some podcasts and video casts, but would like to track the new content that is being developed now. It seems like this should be an obvious question.

Once you add in presence audio (you hear people close to you) and whiteboarding tools, it will make for very interesting opportunities. I think that Second Life is not going to turn out to be the winner because of technical issues, e.g., firewalls.

Now that Second Life has audio, there is a really interesting capability to have natural break-outs during online sessions that just never seems to work well in the current batch of tools, e.g., WebEx, LiveMeeting, etc. because they are based on understood physical settings, e.g., presentation rooms with break out spaces.

Again, though, our experience says that 1.5MB (with audio) is not that big. All that said, one of the bigger reasons for splitting up the files is just authoring / managing large files in Captivate itself. If any blog readers have had challenges with Captivate file sizes and want to help, please comment.

We are pretty sure that people will learn less from a rapid eLearning piece that's basically just a PowerPoint + Audio as compared to an hours worth of fun, interactive courseware. And this isn't a theoretical question - it's something we face all the time. But, if the cost is significantly higher, is it really worth it? In what cases?

I'm sure that once you add presence-based audio (meaning you can hear people who are close to you) that WebEx style systems will begin to look more like second life so you can have easier break-out sessions. So, in a couple of years, we would expect to have virtual conferences, virtual meetings in these kinds of environments.

And Donald makes a good point about the fact that it takes more time when you are listening to audio as compared to reading (or skimming). However, if we are practicing a new skill, then there is normally no real time advantage as we need the same amount of time to practice in an elearning environment as we do in a classroom.

Giving a SME a tool that lets them create PowerPoint + Audio and maybe a question or two, well that's certainly fast and low cost. Unforuntately, that's mostly what people are saying when they use the term. Why do I say "unfortunately?" Well I think we all know the answer.

Maybe Joe is talking about creating quick hit learning pieces as a starting point for quickly understanding topics, but that's different than giving Rapid eLearning tools to SMEs. Especially by SMEs?
