Wednesday, April 04, 2007 Off-the-Shelf Content: Help! Say, if youre purchasing a course library from SkillSoft or some other vendor: If a client has their own LMS, do they purchase the courses outright and host them on their own servers? So the vendor can closely track actual usage and charge based on that actual usage?

Every software interaction and menu is explained in detail. eLearning vendors (those that design custom courseware) are often handed the course to be built. So the vendor scopes it out and does the design work, the storyboarding, the development work. Im interested to see what responses you might get. Its all there.

Friday, June 15, 2007 ADDIE: Its a Process This is probably an argument made in any Instructional Design 101 class; I dont think Im saying anything new here. Most e-Learning vendors mention ADDIE or some form thereof on their websites as if it was a real science about creating effective learning. Take the Survey!

Wednesday, August 01, 2007 e-Learning Content & Version Control Earlier this week, Janet Clarey wrote about the " Preservation of e-Learning Content."

Monday, March 12, 2007 Free the Learners -- Free the LMS Jay Cross in Free the learners talks about his afternoon omelette and anarchy and then goes on: People ask how to track informal learning in their LMS; my response is don’t.

But thats OK because Im sure you all (all conferences that do this) share some of these revenues with the authors right? IITSEC really is a unique experience since all the audience is not just developers and vendors, all the decision-makers in this realm also attend the conference. Anyway, enough of that rant.

Mostly software training, with bits of process and product information thrown in for good measure. Lots of software interactivity. Schedules dont always work out, so more often this is a one-on-one tour of the software and the content notes with the trainer. Oh, except Im the developer and audio engineer too.
