JAY CROSS MAY 24, 2011 Working Smarter in the Enterprise On April 27, 2011, Clark Quinn and I kicked off a meeting of the Chief Learning Officer Executive Network at Symantec in Mountain View. The Executive Networks people took notes; here are the main points from my presentation. Work Is Changing. Work is no longer just doing just what is in your job description. In 1986, 75% of the knowledge that a worker needed was stored in their heads. Fowler. | CLARK QUINN MAY 24, 2011 Engagification The latest ‘flavor of the month’ is so-called gamification. Without claiming to be an expert in this area (tho’ with a bit of experience in game design), I have to say that I’ve some thoughts both positive and negative on this. So what is ‘gamification’? As far as I can tell, it’s the (and I’m greatly resisting the temptation to put the word ‘gratuitous’ in here :) addition of game mechanics to user experiences to increase their participation, loyalty, and more. badges), etc. But I want to suggest that we strive a little bit higher. | I CAME, I SAW, I LEARNED MAY 24, 2011 Adobe Captivate 5: If You Can't Beat 'Em, Clone 'Em by Kevin Siegel Ever find yourself in a love-hate relationship with Captivate's default object styles? Admittedly, there is more to love about styles than hate. As far as I'm concerned, styles are a wonderful enhancement in Captivate 5. And if you haven't used styles yet, I urge you to dive in. Styles allow you to quickly update the look and feel of objects throughout your project with just a few clicks. Anyone who has developed eLearning using Adobe Captivate 4 or older knows how ineffective those pesky Apply to All buttons were. I'll admit the default names are clever. | LEARNING VISIONS MAY 24, 2011 Falling in Love all Over Again with ISD – with Allison Rossett at #ASTD2011 These are my notes from a session with Allison Rossett “Falling in Love All Over Again—With ISD” at ASTD ICE in Orlando, May 24, 2011. Forgive typos and incoherence… ** ISD got its start in WWII – when the country was preparing soldiers for war. 400 + films – taught standards. Observations in classes to see that standards were met. From the war, these trainer types went into industry – telecom (ATT) Walter Dick – “ISD is applied educational psychology” Instructional design is all abut theory. Behaviorism – incentives and consequences. what it looks like when you can do it. Motivation. | | | | | | | | | -
LEARN AND LEAD | TUESDAY, MAY 24, 2011 Cultural Issues in Dealing with Clients Puja Anand writes another guest post for Learn and Lead. In this post, earlier published on her blog Accidental CEO Strategic Mom , Puja shares her experiences of dealing with clients from different cultures. Into my third or fourth year dealing extensively with Asian clients, with a few American/UK clients thrown in, I had formed most of the ideas written here. However, I shied away from this topic because it is a form of stereotyping, and being an Indian expat living in Singapore, I have seen enough of stereotyping applied to me to be wary of it. You have to work much harder to build trust. MORE >> -

RAPID ELEARNING BLOG | TUESDAY, MAY 24, 2011 New to E-Learning? Here are Some Simple Steps to Help You Get Started To a novice even simple things seem complex. And when things appear complex, we can become frustrated or feel like we don’t have the skills to accomplish what it is we want to do. recall years ago when I was learning video production. felt like my skills were inadequate (which they were). So my instructor told me to record some television commercials and then break them down into pieces to see how they were built. He said that this would help me focus less on the glossiness of the commercials and more on their construction. This exercise was one of the best learning experiences for me. MORE >> -
E-LEARNING UNCOVERED | TUESDAY, MAY 24, 2011 Authoring Tool Comparison As we’ve mentioned in previous blog posts, there are a number of changes to the authoring tool landscape coming in the next few months. We thought we’d help you decide which tool might be right for you. We’ve created a quick grid to show what we feel are the key differences between the major authoring tools on the market: Articulate, Captivate, Lectora, Flash, and the about-to-launch ZebraZapps. To keep it simple, we stuck with features that might distinguish one over another, rather than features that are common to all of them (such as the ability to add audio or images). What do you think?
