Many of us are familiar with Marie Kondo, best-selling author of the book, “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up.” The KonMari method, Kondo’s system of simplifying and organizing, has started a wildly popular trend by teaching us to ask a simple question about each item we own, “Does it spark joy?” If not, she suggests we get rid of it. If you work for an association that delivers ongoing live and on-demand programming, can you apply the KonMari method to your content?

One common question is “how long will it take to create this elearning?” It’s important to estimate the effort and time required for different tasks.

The two primary sources I use for benchmarks are Bryan Chapman’s research and Karl Kapp and Robyn Defelice’s ATD research.

Good editing is at the heart of great writing. Here’s how it can take your e-learning content to the next level. I’ve never liked the old aphorism that “there are no great writers, only great editors.” But there is some truth to it, in that no one writes the perfect draft the first time through, and even the most accomplished writers depend on a skilled editor to add polish and structure to their work.

I’ve been looking into ‘realities’ (AR/VR/MR) for the upcoming Realities 360 conference (yes, I’ll be speaking). And I found an interesting model that’s new to me, and of course prompts some thoughts. For one, there’s a new reality that I hadn’t heard of! So, of course, I thought I’d share. The issue is how do AR (augmented reality) and VR (virtual reality) relate, and what is MR (mixed reality).

I received a Photoshop file the other day for use in a Captivate project. Moments later, I received a frantic call from the person who sent it to me. He was in a bit of a panic because he had sent me a Photoshop file (PSD) instead of the.jpg image I had requested. He then remembered that I didn't have Photoshop on my computer and was wondering if he needed to head back to the office and send the jpg image instead.   I was able to save him the trouble.
