This came up again in the comments on my recent blog post, Adapting 20th Century Training Models for the Future. As a reminder, ADDIE stands for Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate. The naysayers have been saying that this process is too slow and archaic for our modern "this is due by 5pm today" times.

If you resize the PowerPoint presentation, the size of the imported slides you see in Captivate will match the width and height of your Captivate project.    While resizing a PowerPoint presentation is easy, there is a slight problem.

Looking through my old “Learning and Instruction:Theory into Practice&# book by Margaret Gredler, written in 1997, I came across an interesting comparison of novice vs. expert thinking (page 188). Novice. Knowledge structures are organized around the main phenomena in a domain. Expert. Knowledge structures of experts represent phenomena in the domain in relation to higher-order principles.

Here, I start with the hermeneutic notion of how we act in the world and learn.

Whether you’re shopping for your very first learning management system (LMS) or looking to upgrade, the process can be overwhelming. With so many vendor options, each with its own multitude of features and pricing structures, even the most seasoned educators, trainers, and business leaders can feel lost in a sea of choices! Finding the LMS that’s best suited for your organization requires a planned, strategic approach.

Project managers are now spending more time managing strategic projects where the scope is susceptible to changes as the projects progress. Scope change control is now becoming a critical component of project management requiring project teams to become more active in solving problems and making decisions. Scope change control will require collaboration with stakeholders and possibly government agencies.
