In any case, I need help figuring out the best way to explain the trends going on in eLearning. I'm going to put in my current figure, but I'm not happy with it or necessarily how I'm presenting it, so I'd like some feedback. The basic trend that I see in eLearning is that we've really started down a couple of new paths that I've label eLearning 1.0 , eLearning 1.3 (I'll explain that in a minute) and eLearning 2.0..., but it seems that this is better than any alternative I've heard. Any suggestions on what to call the columns?

There are many free applications or services that I only end up using a few times. For one reason or another they just don’t work for me. So I don’t want to present a list of tools that might not offer any real value to you.
In today’s post, I’ll share with your some of the free tools that I use regularly to help me be more productive.... All you do is open it and then you can pick a color from any part of your computer screen.
2. Color Schemer
Color Schemer helps you create color schemes.

I’ve been doing this stuff for years and it never fails that when you work with multimedia you put a strain on your computer’s resources which can impact your recording session.
3. Listen to the audio playback with headphones.
Headphones help isolate the audio and you’ll be able to hear any problems with the narration better than if you listen with speakers.... This helps me focus on capturing the best narration possible without being distracted trying to time the animations.
5. Make sure your script is conversational and easy to read .

I received an inquiry about the need for a low cost LMS solution and I've not had time to help this person with answers. I'm hoping folks can chime in with suggestions and resources.... costs that can exceed license costs. So, help on effective all-in low cost LMS solutions would be good.

I was just asked a question and was a bit at a loss for a response. This organization predominantly has Macs and would like to use something like Articulate or Captivate to: "convert our existing Powerpoint trainings, include quizes, track responding, track time spent enaged, insert Quicktime movies and deploy via the web." For so long, Adobe has had products on both Mac and PC, I assumed that Captivate had a Mac version - but I didn't find one. Any suggestions?

I'm doing some web research (actually I'm constantly doing web research) and I consistently find myself: 1. Finding an interesting page 2. Copying and Pasting Content from the Page 3. Creating a small citation to the page 4. Editing my thoughts This is part of creating blog posts or part of doing research. I've looked at various tools to use as part of this, but I'm finding that what I really want is a better Copy-to-Clipboard function (in Firefox) that would include a citation to the original source as part of the copy operation. In other words, it would combine steps 2 & 3.

I often hear educators talking about “education needs to change” (I do it too). This is the case for the K-12, higher education, and corporate training/education markets.
As a small research project , I’d like to ask people to answer the following questions (on their blog, in YouTube, Seesmic, or wherever - please post a link in the comments section below):
Does education need to change?
Why or why not?
If it should change, what should it become? How should education (k-12, higher, or corporate) look like in the future?

Got a question from a reader - (and I love questions) - but this time I think I need help with suggestions. Here's the question: I am the Manager of Education and Training in a non-profit that serves homeless youth and whose mission is to get the kids off the streets by offering services which include getting their GED. Grants demand accountability on success rate and outcomes of our GED teaching process.

I recently engaged in a conversation with someone who suggested I was way behind the curve in adopting a better notetaking tool. They picked up on my comments in Better Memory about still using notepad for taking notes in lots of cases. There are a lot of tools out there in this space. I've looked at EverNote and OneNote quite a bit, but I'm not convinced yet that they fit well enough for me to adopt. Requirements - Desktop Search Integration. I currently use Windows Desktop Search and would prefer that I can find notes via the same mechanism that searches my email and documents.
