Much better than a hollow chocolate bunny, my metaphorical Easter basket this year held a review copy of Connie Malamed’s wonderful new Visual Design Solutions: Principles and Creative Inspiration for Learning.

in e-learning, in the virtual classroom, in instructional design, in classroom presentation. In education they call this a problem with "fidelity": one teacher writes a fabulously effective lesson plan and shares it with her friends. I get lots of requests for list of "best practices".in Here's the deal: there's no such thing.

And ironically: Most of the books were also touting "constructivism", "letting learners take over" and "putting learning into the learner's hands". Anyone else wondered what effect it has on learning? Learner's hand cuffs is more like it. Has anyone else noticed this? On learner attitudes toward training?

There's been lot of talk in Twitterland lately about the usefulness of the ADDIE process model often used in instructional design (much on the theme of whether ADDIE is dead), and the validity/existence of "informal" learning. I saw it all hit overlap this week in 2 separate encounters with service employees.

I get two kinds of calls from people wanting to "do" e-learning. They are always more interested in buying an LMS they don't yet need (and often don't even really know what it does) than in designing anything resembling effective online training. I've talked about this before and want to add a new voice to the choir.

His CIPP model , originally covering Context-Input-Process- Product/Impact, and later extended to include Sustainability, Effectiveness, and Transportability, provides a different take on the evaluation of training. An alternative approach to evaluation was developed Daniel Stufflebeam. Enough already, Jane! Yes, there are more.

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? in 'usefulness'?

Every sale saw new staff, less and less knowledgeable about (or, as far as I could tell, interested in) workplace training and learning. Magazine work is just an add-on for me; I am among the fortunate in the training/learning business to have good, full-time employment complete with retirement plan and health insurance.

Distance learning allows for a new level of observation/supervision, including simple lurking, for those who choose to use it. Should we be more explicit with learners that online activity can be tracked, and what effect might that have on learner interest and motivation? How might it affect the learner-trainer relationship?

There were research-based explanations from Richard Mayer that helped me articulate—finally—why we didn’t want to narrate every word in every online learning program. So in the spirit of “Nuts and Bolts,” here are some ideas for exploration: This is an excerpt from an article that appeared in Learning Solutions Magazine.

Dave Ferguson has revived the Working/Learning Blog Carnival and has asked for thoughts on "work at learning: learning at work". The CoP provided them the opportunity to learn about their work while learning while doing their work. Here's what's on my mind this rainy Sunday.
