The time has finally come to take the ‘e’ out of eLearning. ( Pause for applause.). Words matter -- especially when trying to communicate new ideas and teach new concepts.

The following phases below will apply to you in either situation.

I wrote this while starting this blog. Metaphors are poems. They speak to a part of us that we often leave barren and hidden from the light. Metaphors reach us and our souls. They hit us deep and we swallow, stay quiet and feel that side of us that shines and sparkles, when the right combination of words is so well chosen they touch us. Lessons using stories do not have to be negative.

Game-based learning is branching out. While digital and simulation-based learning aren’t new to the medical field, the patient involvement is. For many years workers in various sectors of medicine have successfully used game-based learning and simulations as part of their training. It gives the trainees the opportunity to treat “patients” in a risk-free environment.

Using eLearning for Compliance Training. While compliance training is important – a company certainly doesn’t want to set itself up for liability issues by failing to provide such courses – it’s also among the most boring subjects for employees and management.

I love a good mash-up. It's a digital age version of synthesis. Actually, that's a little misleading - synthesis is a skill required by academics and scholars, whether technology is present or not. But a mash-up takes several ideas, formats or sources and places them together in a new form, to say something new. That's why I like it. It's creative and it's often thought provoking.
