This week I was drawn to a webinar hosted by James McLuckie (of Eden Tree and the Learning and Development Group on LinkedIn) and presented by Patrick Bray (Pad) of Team Me. It was titled ‘transforming personal and professional performance with archetypes’ and this is what Pad does everyday.

Suddenly I wasn’t just working in the bespoke e-learning field, but in the much wider world of learning and development. Upstairs in the conference the discussions are all about visions for where learning and development is or should be going, which is great.

Over the past couple of years this is one of the areas of personal development I’ve really tried to focus on, taking every opportunity I’ve been given to push my boundaries and present. But I kind of love the challenge at the same time. And do you know what? Certified Online Learning Facilitator course.

There is no relationship being built (as in Inbox ) or developed or improved as in the two ads. I think what makes this film so disturbing to me is that it is based on technology that’s currently being developed: it’s a clearly dystopian vision by the end and yet it’s not that far-fetched.

In-house DIY e-learning and rapid development mean that training managers and subject matter experts (among others) have to put on an e-learning design hat from time to time. Great e-learning isn’t about eye-catching graphics and technical wizardry.

Last year, I posted about conferencing tweeting after an illuminating experience at a big event, but my thinking continues to develop with every event I attend or backchannel I follow. I think I’d reached a point where I was stuck in a rut, tweeting a lot but maybe not giving it the thought and consideration it deserves.

So if schools need to teach children how to use technology, they also need to help them develop the ‘moral and ethical strength needed to resist abusing’ that power. Monke notes that teenagers with access to the internet have a huge amount of power and the potential to do a lot of damage.

The two most useful activities that helped (and continue to help) me develop my understanding of the e-learning industry in general and of instructional design in particular were reviewing courses (designed by as many different people for as many different audiences and purposes as possible) and reading blogs. That’s the plan anyway!

Let’s return to that learner who guessed the right answer: if the feedback is worded the same way it’s probably going to wash over them, whereas phrasing it slightly differently might help develop their understanding so that next time it’s not just a guess.

Isn’t the whole point of all this blogging, tweeting and networking to continually develop ourselves and our ideas, so that we can go beyond ‘good’? The way I see it, there are some golden rules for creating good e-learning, but I also think that good isn’t always good enough.

What if you’ve got an existing e-learning course which you know could (and should) be better, but only your own fair hands to improve it: no budget to spend on external development support, no graphic designers or technical wizards to help out, and (inevitably) not much time? I’ve based all this on what I can do.
