Daniel Hickey describes his process for badging and how the learner might personalize their achievements. The post Badging in a Learner-Centered Context appeared first on Patric Lougheed.

Welcome to the eLearned blog! I will be using this space to write about new things I have learned or done.  Because I am doing a lot of eLearning currently, many posts will focus on learning technology. But I will also be writing about training, development, performance improvement, or other topics that I think might […]

Happy Valentine’s Day! In the valentines spirit, this morning I attended a webinar hosted by Kineo on "8 ways to make your learners fall in love". I don’t really know how I ended up on the email list for Kineo but I’m glad I did.  They have a lot of great resources for eLearning professionals… […]

I don’t know about you, but I’m really bad at sitting.  When I sit too long my knees start to hurt.  I slouch and my back starts to hurt. I fidget and fall out of my chair.  Really. So a little less than a year ago I jumped on the standing desk bandwagon. I couldn’t […]

This week I decided to participate for the first time in the Articulate Storyline eLearning weekly challenge. I had been meaning to participate for a while now, but hadn’t had the time.  However, this week’s challenge was to create a simple eLearning game, which frankly I love doing.  I couldn’t resist.

It’s basically one of the most boring topics ever - completing and submitting timesheets.  It just so happened that at about the same time a lot of great ideas were being posted on the Articulate weekly challenge (for which I […]

Ok, I love using Articulate Storyline.  I only started using it recently and immediately realized that Storyline makes interactivity so much easier to build than other tools I had used (mostly Adobe Captivate - which does have its own virtues). But, give me an inch and I want a mile of course.  There are some […]

Storytelling has been a buzzword in eLearning circles lately - and for good reason. Everyone loves a good story and they are a great way to put new information into a familiar context, provide feedback, and run through possible scenarios. I know I always remember more from a story than I do from a list […]

I am very excited about this week’s Articulate eLearning Challenge - create a top 10 list of resources and tutorials for Storyline development.  This will be a list I will definitely bookmark! For my own contribution, I decided to put together a list of my favorite Storyline hacks because hacks are both fun and useful!  […]
