| Page 1 of 1 | Previous | Next | GEORGE SIEMENS APRIL 6, 2012 Blackboard’s identity crisis, Desire2Learn’s optimism, and Instructure’s coolness see two primary companies: Desire2Learn and (based on momentum) Instructure. Desire2Learn. I’ve met John Baker (CEO) on several occasions and was a keynote at their annual conference in Memphis (disclaimer: Desire2Learn is a sponsor of the LAK11 and LAK12 conference) and have had numerous interactions with company over the past six years. Desire2Learn and Instructure don’t generate the confusion in end users that Bb does today. In particular, Michael Fieldstein (as usual) has a wide ranging and thoughtful response: What the heck happened?

| BRAVE NEW ORG APRIL 18, 2012  16 Months of Social Learning Platform Insanity: A Recap And what is going on at Blackboard and Desire2Learn? Not to be outdone, Desire2Learn not only completely updated its platform to become a true social learning engine (including integration with Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and LinkedIn), but it also recently hired Dennis Kavelman as COO to complement visionary CEO John Baker. Everybody wants some.

Desire2Learn Inc. Desire2Learn Inc. I don't know if I've seen this reported by the eLearningGuild , but their reports showed some interesting information about satisfaction levels reported by members on course authoring and rapid eLearning tool satisfaction levels. Lectora QMIND Design Collaboration P1. | TONY KARRER SEPTEMBER 19, 2006 Rapid eLearning Tools This list includes a host of additional tools that eLearning Guild members consider rapid eLearning development tools including Apple Keynote, Microsoft Word, Trivantis Lectora, Respondus StudyMate, Brainshark Presentations, Vuepoint Content Creator, WebEx Presentation Studio, KnowledgePlanet Firefly, Xstream RapidBuilder, ReadyGo Web Course Builder, BrainVisa RapideL, OnDemand Presenter, Desire2Learn Learning Environment, Corel Wordperfect Office, SkillSoft Course Customization, Toolbook Instructor, Learn.com LearnCenter, IBM Simulation Producer, Toolbook Assistant, and Cornerstone OnDemand. | GEORGE SIEMENS JULY 8, 2010 Well Played, Blackboard Desire2Learn – the object of a failed Blackboard lawsuit (new t-shirt slogan for BB “all I got from this lawsuit was this lousy reputation&# ) – continues to be an active player (a reasonable argument could be made that Blackboard is largely responsible for the rapid uptake of Moodle following the announcement of its lawsuit…has anyone done a market share analysis that traces adoption of Moodle in relation to the lawsuit? This puts companies like Desire2Learn in a bind. I’ve met John Baker – CEO of Desire2Learn – numerous times. | | | | | | | |

GEORGE SIEMENS | THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 2010 Light-weight learning analytics tools
This is a good example of a fairly simple, light-weight tool to analyze social interactions in an LMS like Moodle, Blackboard, or Desire2Learn. I’ve heard of SNAPP before – &# software tool that allows users to visualize the network of interactions resulting from discussion forum posts and replies&# – but decided to play around with it today. The process is simple: install a simple bookmarklet in your browser, go to your LMS, select the discussion forum that you want to analyze, and then activate the SNAPP plugin. Greater analysis of the nature of interaction (i.e MORE >> -
LEARNING VISIONS | FRIDAY, MAY 7, 2010 ID Live with John Graves
10 questions -- (He uses Desire2Learn) – Why does instructor not go by Carl Graves? This weeks’ discussion on EdTechTalk Instructional Design Live was with John Graves, Montana State University-Bozeman on Engaging Learners (These are my live blogged notes…apologies for gaps and incoherencies :) ) John: When you don’t have f2f contact with a learner, it’s important to establish yourself (the instructor) as a person – with a family and a life. How do you foster that initial connection? Front-load the course – make sure all the pieces are in place even before the student comes online. MORE >> -
ELEARNING ACUPUNCTURE | FRIDAY, DECEMBER 5, 2008 Live classroom polling without clickers?
For example, in this poll, if you want to vote for Desire2Learn then write a text message to 32075 which contains this text "cast 29368". Almost everybody these days has a cellphone - especially students! So a company called Poll Everywhere has decided to deploy an Audience Response System (aka, clickers) by using text messaging on a cellphone instead of a wireless clicker transmitter. colleague of mine (thanks Katia!) first let me know about this company by a comment she left on one of my blog posts. Today I spent some time trying it out and my initial assessment is that this is GREAT! MORE >> -

LD Accelerators – Learning Design (and other) Accelerators. WWF – Weak Workflows. Some papers are publicly available here. It has been most interesting and very educational. MORE >>
