In a comment on Podcasting has No Inherent Pedagogical Value - which has some interesting comments in it around technology and value - I was pointed to an interesting article in the Chronicle - Pimp My Course and Stephen Downes summary of some of the responses. It changed the dynamic somewhat, but, of course, it's still lecture.

I was just asked by someone about how they could test a course they were creating against a particular Learning Management System (LMS) (in this case Docent 6.5). We are developing a SCORM or AICC compliant course either custom or using an authoring tool. This can show you what works and doesn't work long before you author the course.

Please, tell me that I won't think that's good design by the end of this crash course? Dave Gray has always done incredible graphics that really help me to quickly understand a topic. Bob's web site violates a lot of what I would consider to be good design. I can't imagine that anyone thinks that good design?

Interesting question posed in eLearn Magazine article: How Long Should an E-learning Course Be? Interestingly the author chooses to sidestep the question he poses and instead gives a direct answer to a different question (focusing on modules that are parts of a course): What is a good length for a module? How long was the "course"?

You can put the audio or video inside a SCORM course and load it into an LMS. I’d have to think a bit more to have a specific suggestion on the course authoring tool for this, but should be easy enough to do this. Of course, that assumes that they don’t need to track going through the content and that there are assessments.
