For design inspiration, I took a few pages out of Karl Kapps book Gadgets, Games and Gizmos for Learning. I tried to make more effective use of audio.

Jay Cross says its "presumptuous and confining for developers to foist objectives on learners, for it disregards the learners needs, prior learning, and context." He suggests a list of potential outcomes with check boxes , effectively allowing the learner to create his or her own objectives. 11:51 PM Dave Ferguson said.

I agree to the higher end of that range, and if so, then is that the percent of communication lost in online learning communities. Or is it substituted by other tools (how effective?)(web How simple and effective is that eyebrow raise? And how effective is that substitution? web cam or emoticons)? For example.

And hopefully, they are flexible enough that they can be altered as needed in order to create an effective learning experience. This approach saved them a ton of time, and resulted in an effective training program. If youre providing SMEs with the templates, Im not sure theyll be altering them.

I can see how theorists might argue that reading text aloud to the learner addresses multiple "learning styles," but the real-world experience is one of frustration: you want to read ahead but you cant because the narrator reads more slowly than you do. Im with you. But I just thought that was my learning style. Youre right.

Some key nuggets from the Sydney Herald article: It is more difficult to process information if it is coming at you in the written and spoken form at the same time. It is effective to speak to a diagram, because it presents information in a different form. Im thinking about Karl Kapps recent post Design: Bullets Be Gone.

The designer may assume that the multiple illustrations work because learners choose the representation that is most congruent to their learning styles. It is probably more accurate that such instruction is effective because the multiple illustrations induce learners to devote more time to these concepts. Getting an Informal M.Ed

The use of music in e-Learning? But Im always in search of practical advice. Whos really used music in e-Learning to good effect? I think my resistance to using music in courses may have something to do with the notion of music not being taken seriously in a learning environment. Dont think so.

Ive been working as an instructional designer in the corporate training and e-learning field since the mid-1990s. For me, instructional design is about designing "engaging and effective" asynchronous learning experiences (web-based training programs). Im a writer and a schmoozer. 12:23 AM Cammy Bean said.

e-Learning should be all neat and tied up in a nice wrapper with a Next button that moves you through a content checklist and a great assessment at the end. This may be why the concept of informal learning is such a hard sell. But Im learning. Forget about it. A PLE can be messy. Its personal, after all.

How much of the pedagogy used by IDs is less to do with learning and more to do with design? And by asking this, Im not suggesting that design isnt important, for it is - its seen by some as part of the pedagogy. I wonder about this, for scaffolding is important for the effectiveness of resources that are used.

Im not sure if the SME was reading a script, reading the notes, or just speaking from the heart. My argument is that if the information is presented as 'real' conversation it is more believable, more engaging and ultimately more effective. Look at games like Mass Effect 2 as a perfect example.
