A question I am constantly asked is “How long does it take to develop…&# you can fill in the rest with Instructor-led training, elearning, simulations, etc. Several people have attempted to answer that question in 2003 I gathered data and information about the times it takes to develop instruction and then my colleague Robyn Defelice and I explored the idea in 2009.
Experiencing eLearning
SEPTEMBER 2, 2011
The eLearning Learning site got a major upgrade a few weeks ago, with a new design that has more of a magazine feel and shows more images. I know many of my readers are new to the field of e-learning, or hoping to transition. eLearning Learning is a great site to get a snapshot of what people are talking about in the field without being as overwhelming as subscribing to dozens of individual blogs can be.

Are you an eLearning developer struggling with audio? Okay maybe you're not struggling. You're getting stuff done, but you wish your audio was better. Like most things technical, once you know the little tricks and gain a better understanding of the technology it becomes an easy leap from amateur audio to "wow, that's sounds great" audio. I know many of you just farm out the dirty work of audio scripting, producing, recording, publishing.

Looking Back eLearning has been with us in one form or another for at least the past 50 years, maybe longer.

The Performance Improvement Blog
AUGUST 31, 2011
What is intended to pass for performance management in too many organizations today is the annual compulsory performance review. To label this a “performance management system” is to give the process much more credit than it deserves. A perfunctory meeting between a manager and employee once a year to review a standard rating sheet that lists competencies and goals that are probably no longer relevant is not a performance management system.

by Jonathan Shoaf. Adobe Captivate 5.5 is a well suited e-learning development tool for simulations and the tool I turn to first for Flash-based e-learning development. It’s screen recording is top notch for creating simulations and its ability to track variables and advanced actions makes it very versatile to my needs. One of the cool features in Adobe Captivate I have found myself using lately is the text animation.

On the advice of Judy Brown , I picked up The Checklist Manifesto , and I have to say it’s a must-read. This is a short, well-written, and mind-changing book. Frankly, it ranks up there with Don Norman ‘s Design of Everyday Things , and that’s saying a lot. Atul Gawande is a medical doctor who’s also an eloquent writer. In the course of his work he’s become interested in reducing errors, and has looked deeply into how to minimize them.

One: Challenge and Consolidation – Good games offer players a set of challenging problems and then let them solve these problems until they have virtually routinized or automated their solutions. Games then throw a new class of problem at the players requiring them to rethink their now, taken-for-granted mastery, learn something new, and integrate this new learning into their old mastery.

I’m a big fan of the Powerhouse Museum. In a world in which everyone loves to bang on about emerging technology, relatively few ever do anything about it. The PhM, however, has the guts to give it a go. So I was excited to stumble upon their Augmented Reality browsing of Powerhouse Museum around Sydney app for Apple and Android. I love history, I love augmented reality, and I own an iPhone – so a combination of all three proved irresistible.

I am a big tennis fan. And there is nothing more important to American tennis fans than the U.S. Open, which started this week. There are a number of tournaments leading up to the Open. The major international players (the healthy ones, anyway) use them as preparation. The big news in the last couple of weeks was that Serena Williams, who had just won the Rogers Cup in Toronto, was dropping out of the next tournament, the Cincinnati Western & Southern.

Here are 6 things to keep in mind when facilitating a 3D virtual world class or discussion. Preparing for a class discussion in a 3D virtual immersive environment. Maintain proper social distances between your avatar and others. People treat the 3D virtual space as an actual physical space. In physical space, social norms require distances between people when they are engaged in conversation.

As your reach grows, so does the number of LMSs you need to deliver training to, often both externally and internally. And chances are, you want to deliver that content in a way that’s compatible with every LMS, manageable for administrators, and easy for learners to access.

As a result, communication between the unmanaged and managed code has been through a managed C++ interoperability (interop) layer.
