So, turns out I’ve a misbehaving disk in my back, and it started pressing on the nerve over the summer. Because there’re a physiological basis (pressing on the nerve), I’ve stuck with treatments likely to minimize the inflammation. Tried physio, non-steroidal anti-inflammatories, and then a steroid pack; nope.

After switching to ATD Press (they’d been a co-publisher of the previous book), they did a great job with the design, taking my notion of humorous sketches for each topic and executing against it graphically. At least it’s affordable, and I continue to hear from people who have found it useful.

For instance, those where the needs were pressing and the real world experience is important. I still think that ARGs could be powerful learning experiences. And, of course, I understand that the overhead would make them useful only in particular situations. And I reckon those are few. In some sense, disaster drills are an example!

Full disclosure: I will be on a press pass to attend, but they didn’t reach out to me. I reached out to them because I wanted a way to attend. Because I know this is important enough to find a way to hear more.

You’d be hard pressed to do better on purpose! And there’s no evidence that adapting to them helps either (which is implicit). So really, this is two more myths ! Wow, 5 myths in one paragraph. I hate to think who might fall prey to this marketing campaign. I hate to tell you this, but there’s no there there.

They’d completely removed the material pressing on the disk, but in so doing they’d likely irritated the nerve. Spaced out from lack of sleep, distressed about my leg, and so on. I first talked to the PA, and then the doc came in. And, I found out a lot more. And there could be some bleeding doing that, too.

So we started our marketing, including the site, a press release, and our social media efforts. We briefed a handful of respected individuals around the industry (not everyone we could and should, but a representative sample across many sectors that we could work with quickly), and got them to lend their names in support.

For the Australasian Talent Conference that will run in Sydney May 24-26 (where I’m speaking), they’ve been drumming up interest with a press release. As a consequence, I’ve been doing some interviews, some live, some via email.

But if you were to hear someone go over the three wordy bullet points on one screen, you’d be hard pressed to follow. When it’s presented, there is some highlighting of the important things. However, if you spaced the same screen out three times, one for each bullet point, , you’d support cognitive load more appropriately.

If you need a rich interaction to establish information: numerous related fields or a broad picture of context, you’re going to be hard pressed to use a pocketable device. Taking the first situation: there are times when a pocketable device just can’t cope with the amount of screen real estate you need.

NASA Images was just launched ( press release ) and it uses software that was partly developed by my firm TechEmpower. It has a bunch of neat features that makes it fun to play with, especially the ability to create different kinds of widgets of groups and images and workspaces.

Now, of course, we would be hard-pressed to conduct business without email. I remember this because the company asked that the vendor turn off the email system as they didn’t want folks frittering away time being social. These employees had phones, but the company didn’t trust them with email for some reason!

In the context of having my own book on mobile learning in press, I’m well-primed to review Gary Woodill’s The Mobile Learning Edge: Tools and Technologies for Developing Your Teams. It could be awkward as well, as I could be considered to be a competitor, with no vested interest in helping.

Similarly, vendors would tout buzzwords that, when pressed, couldn’t actually articulate what it was. Also the shelfware was surprisingly ordinary, that is well-produced but under-designed. This was across all of the exhibitions. One particularly egregious example was ‘adaptive tracking’.

I recently read that Apple’s new office plan is receiving bad press. This surprises me, given that Apple usually has their handle on the latest in ideas. Yet, upon investigation, it’s clear that they appear to not be particularly innovative in their approach to work spaces. Here’s why.

And when you’re pressed by a certification body that you need to represent what the SME tells you, you may need to push back. I even advocate anticipating what the models and decisions are likely to be, and getting the SME to criticize and improve, rather than let them start with a blank slate.

However, I’m hard pressed to believe iPads are any more fragile than laptops. For instance, something like GoClass (caveat: partner), while still a bit instructivist, could scaffold teachers initially until they began to see the opportunities. And there needs to be mobile management software to deal with the issues.

It also came out that having a process is a powerful argument against those who might try to press unreasonable production constraints on you. The fact that the initial ‘course, job aid, other problem’ analysis is not included, however, is a concern.

While I realize we’ve more pressing immediate concerns that might govern our near-term ‘man on the moon’ project, I still think a full K12 curriculum online would be a really cool project. It’s a bit biased towards formal education, but still is visionary.
