Around the same time, the ASTD Learning Circuits Blog had the July "Big Question" which was "Choosing Tools" which is actually a series of questions: How does the eLearning design process need to change to accommodate such a wide variety of tools? It is a great entry outlining 3 elements of good design.

This month's big question on the Use of PowerPoint has already sparked some discussion and some good links. We'll likely get agreement that PowerPoint itself is not evil, but poor use of PowerPoint is. PowerPoint forces you to think through the real message of the presentation. Which is a great point.

In response to the LCB Big Question - PowerPoint: What is Appropriate? Karl created a presentation and a blog post that is wonderful on many levels - not the least of which that his use of a slide presentation (PowerPoint) to provide insights into the topic itself. One of my questions was on the use of images.

The Learning Circuits Blog Big Question for July is 'how should e-learning developers choose their authoring tools given the proliferation of tools on the market?' Nevertheless, I believe I should address the Big Question in a more measured way than in last week's rant, so here goes.

Okay, I'm going to blame this on Karl Kapp, because in response to the LCB Big Question - PowerPoint: What is Appropriate? When and Why? The presentation is aimed at folks who manage or are hands-on in the development of eLearning and it's designed to introduce them to eLearning 2.0 concepts and tools.

As many do, we storyboard projects in Word and PowerPoint. Recently, Lectora launched a new tool that integrates PowerPoint slides directly into a Lectora project. However, whatever is not done in PowerPoint will have to be manually constructed in the Lectora project. Plus, everything is done within PowerPoint.

My big question for e-learning today: what is the Art Deco of e-learning design? Get your free PowerPoint templates and free graphics & stock images. However, just because we have constraints doesn’t mean we can’t be creative. In fact, I often find that constraints force more creativity than having none.

This month's ASTD Big Question relates to a person who graduated from a theory-only program in Instructional Design and was not provided with the experience of actually creating instruction using any of the latest tools. So the question is: What advice would you give to someone who has no experience with e-learning development tools?

They are considering a pretty wide range of solutions from eLearning specific, to media specific, to standard tools like Word and PowerPoint, to doing it as rapid prototypes using an authoring tool.

Now not only is this a really great talk on a really interesting subject (see Donald Clark's posting on the book - his recommendation is READ this NOW), but it's also a near perfect example of how to use PowerPoint. The speaker clearly spent a long time bringing all these visuals together, but the effort was definitely worth it.
