I'm hoping to contribute more this year and get my readers back for some good discussion about developing for learning. I know from personal experience there are not a lot of good resources searchable on the web related to e-learning development and want to address that with this blog. Best wishes in 2011!

Frankly, it's not the way to describe it in a face-to-face setting and especially a bad idea in e-learning. Bullets are simply bad in e-learning. Over the years I've encountered several courses about how to write good e-mails. They have all come to me in the same way -- a list of dos and don'ts. Use correct capitalization.

Getting other departments in my organization to get on board with e-learning is a goal of mine. The first batch of interest in e-learning has come from some of the technical teams of our information management systems. Mixed feelings about video learning. How can we make learning stick so they are not dependent on videos?

Because of this, I think I'll go back to the development process I'm writing and give more attention to the learning objectives than to the storyboard.

For me, this is promising for some of the e-learning and knowledge management projects I deal with. Since the web services can be accessed through JavaScript, no server-side coding is required. This means the overhead of getting IT involved can be avoided. However, it does require an experienced web developer.
