So here is my second crack at sketchnoting a webinar/chat/discussion.  I went back to one of the previous episodes of The Toolbar, hosted by Brian Dusablon and Judy Unrein.  Episode 13 was "The Bitter Episode", although not nearly as bitter as I had expected. Brian and Judy, as always had some thought provoking discussions that really expand how we as designers should ...

Recently I was asked to do a review of some camera apps for iPhone/iPad.  That review can be found here in the eLearn Magazine along with other fantastic articles regarding combining "education and technology". "The struggle to find images that balance cost effectiveness for the client along with relevancy to the learner is an all too familiar encounter that instructional ...

Every so often the only thing you want to do is just play and create.  That’s exactly where I’ve found some inspiration that last 2 days. While searching for an image for a course a clothesline across a blue sky and grass caught my eye.  I knew immediately I could recreate that idea for a template. You can find it ...

Recently there was a discussion posted in the E-Learning Heroes community asking the community to ensure that when they post tips, tricks, and tutorials that they don’t forget that not everyone is using Storyline.  There are some that are still using Studio and then there are others that aren’t using either tool.  I mention others as well because this post ...

We’re so often told to expect the unexpected, but how often are we warned to expect the expected.  Please excuse me while I rant for a moment. I’ve been waiting, for an unacceptable amount of time, for an upgrade to be issued and installed for my LMS.  I won’t even go into the details about why it was delayed over and over ...

Always, of course.  I recently pondered the idea of creating and sharing a Screenr about how to take a PowerPoint template and import and share

Once again I’ve embarked on another course, this semester I’m exploring "Emerging Technology in Learning".  I am looking quite forward to the discussions that hope will develop throughout the course.  If nothing else at least I get fodder for my blog.  The first discussion to start was based on digital literacy.  Three questions were posted to the class.   What literacies ...

After all my years of doing this (and they aren’t many, but I should know better by now) it surprises me every time the amount energy and effort it takes to sometimes make the simplest thing. Photo by: T.Parish I have a presentation I’m doing this week (I’ll post it in a follow-up posting here).  It’s only a 20 minute ...

This week at DevLearn 2012, David Kelly and myself will be co-presenting "Curation Tools and Applications for Learning". In a world of ever-growing data, being able to center on the information that provides the greatest value, and ignore the noise is critical. It’s also extremely difficult. That’s where curators come in, to help audiences focus on the value, and to strip ...

Notes captured from Jon Landau’s presentation to DevLearn 2012.  Learning never stops. What does a producer do? The COO of a company. Every movie is a start up company. They need to bring a product and sell it to the market place.   Need to look to technology and innovation to really separate themselves put from others.  They want to ...
