ELEARNING CYCLOPS DECEMBER 9, 2012  Using #Characters in eLearning, Part 1 I am a big fan of adding characters to my courses when they are appropriate and work with the course design.

The first was a conversation I had with a learning professional in a major corporation who told me that they were trying to figure out how to best curate online content, including content from MOOCs (aka, massive open online courses) for their employees. The second was an article about how the online learning content platform Udemy was able to raise $12 million in series B financing. Some of the content is offered for free, and some is behind a paywall. | | | | | | | |

USABLE LEARNING | SUNDAY, DECEMBER 9, 2012  Learning on Demand
So, I just finished Reuben Tozman’s Learning On Demand , and it’s great stuff. It’s particular great because I’m working on some of the exact issues he describes right now. Specifically, we are just starting to create content for a new system, and I’m wrestling with questions like: What kind of structure should we use for the content?
