THE ELEARNING COACH JULY 13, 2011  6 Alternatives To Bullet Lists Bullets make lists of important points easy to read. When those near-perfect little circles are vertically aligned, readers can quickly process the text. Yet too many bullet lists in an eLearning course or slide presentation can be repetitious and mind-numbing. Learners and audiences need novelty to maintain and sustain attention. The trick for going beyond bullets is to think visually. GRAPHICS | INTEGRATED LEARNINGS JULY 13, 2011 Cues that You Need an Image Instead of Text By Shelley A. Gable.

The following is a real outtake over-heard from an actual training class: "It's important when you speak to customers that you use your own words and feel comfortable in what you are saying. I've prepared some scripts that will help.". In the language of today's 140-character driven society, I'm going to label this one as an #authenticityfail. Authenticity as the Secret Sauce. | ZAIDLEARN JULY 13, 2011  Empowering Personal Learning Environments Empowering Personal Learning Environments View more presentations from Zaid Alsagoff This presentation was presented during IMU's seminar entitled ' Transformative E-Learning in Higher Education ' last week. As my time was shortened to 45 minutes (from 1 hour 45 minutes) to do the presentation and some hands-on, you can imagine how that turned out. :) Anyway, I was not feeling too well (mildly!), | | | | | | | |

LEARNING WITH E'S | WEDNESDAY, JULY 13, 2011  The personal web
With the Southampton PLE Conference #PLE_SOU at full throttle, I thought it would be a good time to reiterate my views on the personal web. Personal Web Tools (PWTs) are thought by some to be synonymous with PLEs (Personal Learning Environments) but the two should not be confused.

Sound like a PLE? MORE >> -
CLO MAGAZINE | WEDNESDAY, JULY 13, 2011 What is the Value of E-Learning?
The question often arises of how to value e-learning. For example, if you had a strategy of shifting some ILT to WBT (where appropriate of course), how much would such a strategy be worth?
