I am working on developing eLearning technical training courses for an ERP software application being implemented within a division of the company I work for using Adobe Captivate 3. If you are familiar with Adobe Captivate then you are familiar with "Assesment Simulations." I love assessment simulations because they require the learner to do the clicking rather than just viewing a screen recording of the process.

My career in learning and technology happened by total chance. I started in the world of computer science and web programming, but quickly transitioned to educational technology and then eLearning. Building eLearning courses came naturally to me because I was used to building web sites and web applications. I built custom interactions in Flash, tamed SCORM, and wrote a ton of HTML and JavaScript.

The season is well and truly kicking in. The kids are out of school this week, and while I’ve got a little bit of work on an interesting client project, we’re also taking time to address the holiday perogatives, and to respond to the affordances of the new kitchen. That latter is an interesting situation. We’ve had a very good set of cookware, but it isn’t dishwasher safe.

I want to thank everyone who voted for and reads this blog - eLearning Technology. It was announced that we won for Best elearning / corporate education blog. I previously had some commentary on the edublog awards. I also lobbied for a few of my fellow bloggers who did not win. The bottom line is that none of us do this to win awards. It's nice to be recognized, but it's not going to change what we do.

The ASTD Big question this month is What did you learn about learning in 2008? I learn so much all the time from students, clients and colleagues, it is hard to narrow it down to just two or three things, but I'll try. Here are a few of the lessons I have learned. Mostly about finding a good "model" for mobile learning course design, how others tend to view immersive learning environments and how Social Media is taking off in the least likely places.
eLearningLearning brings together the best content for eLearning and corporate training professionals from the widest variety of industry thought leaders.

An unworkshop is composed of small pieces, loosely joined. I always reserve the right to hop around based on my reading of the participants. (Every unworkshop is unique unto itself.) Sometimes I get so worked up that I feel that I am channeling the material rather than presenting it. Unlike traditional workshops, nothing in one of these sessions is for sure.

Here are few things to consider if you want to help your organization adopt social media tools for learning. Cultural influences in terms of sharing and open information is more important than the technology. An atmosphere of sharing is required for Social Media to be adopted. If people feel they will be punished or “get in trouble” for postings, Social Media will not work within the organization.

I was recently asked to name one positive personality trait about myself. I said, "persistent." Although I contemplated replying with "curious," "connected," "forthright," or "well-rounded", there are exceptions to each of those. For example, I don't want to knowsome things. There are people I've met I'm unsure I want to admit.

Over in Germany, Sigi Jakob-Kuhn (Twitter: @Networking_Lady) has alerted me to another excellent buzz word which belongs to 2008 - Digistraction. The word was coined by Jochen Lueders, Munich and is the 'capability of digital media, particularly the Internet, to draw someone’s attention away from something by making them look at something else, often a succession of other things, e.g. web sites'.

Blended learning is no longer a major talking point in learning and development and perhaps that’s not such a bad thing. Bandwagons are fun when they arrive in town and they certainly make some money for those selling conferences, books, magazines and consultancy; but more often than not, when they’ve made a lot of noise parading down the main street, they disappear off into the distance, leaving behind a whole load of headaches and hangovers.

Venkatesh Rao , who does crowdsourcing research at Xerox coined a new term ‘cloudworker,’ the winning word in a Plantronics contest to retire the word telecommuter ( the last time I used ‘commute to work’ in a sentence I wore shoulder pads and feathered hair). Cloudworker applies to information workers; those who compute ‘in the cloud.’ Rao won $2,000 for his entry donating $1,500 back to some friends from an innovation/design startup, WilsonCoLab, who started

Customer Learning , CLO magazine, December 2008. Learning is woven into the fabric of every modern business. It’s the way we adapt to change. We’ve got to rid ourselves of the notion that learning is just the chief learning officer’s business. Learning is so much more than that. Learning is the lifeblood of commerce, and it’s every corporate citizen’s job to make it better.

Once the impact or desired result has been defined, the next step in the backwards planning process is to define the performance level that will support the impact. That is, what exactly must the performers do to ensure that the results or outcome is achieved? Defining the desired performance by recording the steps gives the designers an outline on which to base the learning process.

My research into meaning of competence led me to a dusty bookshelf downstairs to take a fresh look at a b00k I first read thirty years ago. In 1978, Tom Gilbert wrote Human Competence: Engineering Worthy Performance. From the cover flap: “Not just another run-of-the-mill book on human performance, this provocative volume offers you a new system for getting the most out of people.&# Ah, manipulation!
