How a single refined recipe can better meet your kneads… errr, needs. Early last Saturday morning, Isabelle awoke with a breakfast craving for a couple of slices of raisin bread on which to slather some jam. She walked to her corner bakery and bought a loaf, still warm from the oven. The bread was delicious. As she finished the last bite, she thought “this bread is truly wonderful but it could be even better.

My son starts school in a few days and I ran out over lunch to shop for the school supplies on his list. As I picked out the composition books, dry erase markers, pencil case, highlighters, crayons and glue, I tried to imagine all of the different things he’d be creating with these supplies. And as it often does, my mind turned to how this activity could relate to the learning and development field.

In a conversation I had recently, specifically about a community focused on research, I used the term ‘community of improvement’, and was asked how that was different than a community of practice. It caused me to think through what the differences might be. (BTW, the idea was sparked by conversations with Lucian Tarnowski from BraveNew.).

Moodle’s Feedback module is not the same as its Survey module. With Moodle’s Feedback module, you can create your own questions, to conduct surveys. This is in contrast with Moodle’s Survey tool, where you have to choose from a list of pre-written questions (similar to Moodle Quiz). Moodle Feedback Activities are also ideal for course, trainer, or teacher evaluations, as you have the option of creating non-graded questions.

by Jennie Ruby    The best practice when recording a voiceover script to narrate a series of slides is to create a separate audio recording for each slide. But when you are recording directly into your Captivate project, it can be quite tedious to open the Audio menu, choose Record to > Slide, record the slide, save the recording, close the Slide Audio dialog box, and start the process over for the next slide.

The need to disseminate education efficiently imposed that classrooms should no longer be confined within four walls. So distance learning came into being. Then as technology evolved, lessons were not only delivered to mailboxes (the ones on the curb) but also reached learners on their computers. Thus eLearning developed. And now, because learners are no longer tethered to their desks (the rise of the remote and mobile workforce), learning is being delivered to their hand-held devices where they

Hosting employee training can be an expensive proposition. Funding for travel and accommodations is often a significant part of the training budget. But we tend to approve the allocation of those travel-related funds because providing learners with the ability to collaborate during learning is such a key component of ensuring that learning sticks. Online training is an attractive—and realistic—option because the need to travel (and spend money on that travel) is removed or reduced.

There really is nothing like video. Ever since the first flicker of movement appeared on a screen, humans have been completely enthralled by the moving image. But, why does visual communication, or the conveyance of information and ideas in forms that can be viewed, have so much power? Unlike other learning tools, videos show motion. They can teach anything from how to throw a football to how to create an effective spreadsheet in Excel.
