Cammy Beans Learning Visions Musings on eLearning, instructional design and other training stuff. Im not a techie -- far from it. Im an instructional designer with an emphasis on writing and schmoozing. For the most part, I like tools that are easy to use, easy to learn, look good, and create good-looking output.

Im a touchy-feely-people-kind-of-person. Suddenly, you need a new level of organization and ways to keep track of it all. With a co.mment icon now installed on my Firefox toolbar, I just need to remember to click on it when I leave a comment on someones blog and want to track the conversation.

The focus here the last few months has been less on creating custom courses for clients and more on building Templates and Learning Portals (think LMS-lite). So, what do I do if Im not doing that? Client Relations: This mostly falls under Project Management. e-Learning Strategy Consulting: This is a new area for me.

Im literally not a gamer. Im not sure how I got into games.but I think it had something to do with PONG. But Im so lost at sea for the most part in these environments. But Im no gamer. I said yes too; I can get into the zone with a game and lose track of time quite easily. but Im definitely a gamer.

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? If so, is the vendor able to track usage or do they just sell the content for a flat fee based on LMS seat size? By actual usage?

Im wondering if we should be talking about tiers of instructional design. What I do have is 13+ years of experience in the field, plus a lot of self-directed energy to learn more. Today Im feeling more like a hazy purple. Im wondering if in the carpentry example if a master carpenter would agree with you?

Im still a really hands-on person. Or maybe Im just too lazy and poor. Now, Im not linking to John just because he is full of praise of me (which is nice and somewhat embarrassing, I must admit.), Not always - but it does seem to be a nice way to keep track of the status of my ID projects. Im with you, Maria!

Wednesday, February 28, 2007 Confessions of an Instructional Designer I failed Will Thalheimers Learning Research Quiz. It turns out that Im not alone. Will just published the results of the Learning Research Quiz (2002-2007). And I probably only got about 32% (although I didnt track my score). I was mortified.

If youve ever taught a software class, you know you will have explorers in your class who will wander off the track being presented in class following the "I wonder what happens if you do x" train of thought then get lost from where you are going. The rest of the class tracks along with you. Jean, Just an addendum to my last comment.

You can manage which learners can take your course and track the learners progress. After reviewing all these applications I came to the conclusion that Facebook could be used in the learning process. I would used Facebook as a tool that will enhance/support an e-Learning course and not as a LMS.

Already I can tell you that Im just going to skip this step. Im not trying to make money off this blog. I use this blog as my own learning tool and write about what I feel like writing about -- usually right when it hits me. So maybe my unique take on Day 7 will simply be keeping track of things Id like to write about.

Im not sure if the SME was reading a script, reading the notes, or just speaking from the heart. For now, this is all heresay. Heres what I recall: They created a set of powerpoint slides.

Tony, Id be delighted if this question were expanded to the larger Learning Circuits audience. But Im not sure I can get people to hold their answers back. Sorry Tony, but Im going to jump into the conversation now. Dont worry though; Im sure Ill still have more to say if you do this for the Big Question for February.
