Following my last post on learning being a health issue, I neglected the whole smart drugs phenomenon. Mark Oehlert has written a great post referencing a thought provoking article in The Escapist by Lara Crigger - a selected quote gives you a flavour: But what if, instead, we could simply pop a pill to become smarter? A medication that could make us more alert, sharpen our concentration - even.

Diigo recently released version 3 of their social bookmarking application. This is what I use to keep track of all my resources and what generates my Daily Bookmarks posts. I was involved in the testing for this release, which was fun. I’ve never participated in private testing like that, and it was cool to see the process and how the features were changed over time based on feedback from the testers.

Last year (seems like a long time ago), I was named one of 2007's Most Influential Training professionals by TrainingIndustry Inc. which was nice but, in no way compares to the honor of being "named", The Iron Chef of ID by Robyn and Brandy at Dishing Design: Making Great Recipes for Learning. The site is a cooking-oriented ID site, the focus is on design but it uses cooking related metaphors to get the point across.

From time to time, I evaluate workshops designed for faculty members to share best practices and ideas with each other. Here is a list of general recommendations I've gathered through the years. I think these recommendations can enhance any face-to-face workshop or conference. Provide targeted, technical presentations. There is a group of attendees who enjoy and need to know the more technical ends of a discipline or the field, appeal to them as well.

I've had a number of discussions recently with large corporate clients about the e-learning skills that they need to maintain in-house. Let's assume that by e-learning here, we're referring to asynchronous (self-paced) materials of some sort, much of which must be produced formally to meet the needs of large audiences, with high production values and with correspondingly generous schedules and budgets; but to complicate the matter, let's also assume there's a requirement for 'good enough' materi

While I'm not much of a fan of Level I evaluation, I do think it can shed insight into the effectiveness of our programs if we ask the right questions and pay attention to the answers. I'm dealing with metrics-fans right now who want to ask smile-sheet questions like, "On a scale of 1 to 6, did you find the training useful? " What am I supposed to do with knowing that people ranked the training as an average of 5.9 in 'usefulness'?

In my post last week, Whatever happened to inductive learning?, I complained how difficult it was with current rapid development tools to write more conversational inductive questions in which you as author are able to comment on each selection that the user makes. This facility is important because (1) with inductive questions, you are building on a user's past experience rather than assessing knowledge, so the idea that an answer is correct or incorrect is of no relevance, (2) even if you are

For years, New York seemed more foreign and intimidating than Paris, Munich, Washington, or other cities I knew. Switchblades, peep shows, con men, crazies, bad neighborhoods, muggers, and way too much traffic. Worst of all were the prices. Everywhere else was cheap by comparison. My first job out of college required me to program an arcane NCR computer, and the sole test machine on the East Coast was in the RCA Building in Rockefeller Center.
