Photos can also be a good way to share any last-minute changes or contextual information. For instance, I attended an event where speaker bios weren’t available beforehand, so I photographed and uploaded the printed bios when I got there, as a way of sharing as much information as possible, as efficiently as possible.

Even with the most thorough preparation, you’ll probably find there are times during the event where you don’t have all the information. Find the missing information, tweet it and tag it with the same hashtag for continuity.

If the learner has to expend energy deciphering the pertinent information from the extra add-ons, they are more likely to not retain the information presented in the program.

Text and audio can be used together, but only if they present different information – so the text shouldn’t be a verbatim transcript of the audio. Text and audio can be used together, as long as they present the same information verbatim.

All the examples of metaphors of the internet as salvation (including handling information or transforming business) and as destruction ( eroding revenue, supplanting mainstream media, internet anarchy ) are commonplace and it’s easy to think of many more. Salvation and destruction.

Are there areas in your course where you tell the learner lots of stuff (theory, factual information and so on) before giving them something to do to check they’ve understood? We’re going to make some quick and easy switches that will result in questions driving the learning, not just recapping it.

Being able to chat more informally to people like Jenny Zhu , Richard Culatta and Lisa Pedrogo was great, in terms of both delving a little deeper into the topics of their sessions and seeking advice for forging successful careers.

There’s no shortage of information and advice out there about designing fantastic e-learning – and lots of it is very good advice. But it strikes me that most of that advice relies on you having a blank canvas, as well as (more often than not) plenty of time, money and manpower. What if you don’t?

Read it, and then consider what other information or resources you’re aware of that might be useful. And it’s much easier to find out names and Twitter handles (if they have them) in advance, rather than scrambling around in Twitter’s search at the start of the session. Review and research the session content.

The way I do this is to create what I call a ‘screen type index’ I put this at the start of every storyboard I write to give me that at-a-glance big picture information. However, it’s also important to keep an eye on the big picture and how each individual screen fits into the context of the course.
