I have many people tell me how much they love If This Than That (IFTTT), but so far I have had a little less success with them.  I decide that I’d like to try to streamline things more in the coming year and an idea I have for a resolution means that there are some things I’d like to have ...

If you follow me on Twitter you may have noticed since January that several of my tweets carry #lrnd2day.  Initially my plan was to add this to at least one tweet a day to help myself track what I’ve been learning.  My motto for years has been trying to learn one new thing each day and I think for the ...

Inspired by David Kelly’s posting "Come Say Hi"  I thought I’d extend an invitation as well.  I’m really excited to be attending Learning Solutions again this year.  It’s been a two year’s since I’ve attending this particular event, but I’m excited and eager to be back.  Looking at the program for the conference its a bit overwhelming  with so many ...

Never have I been so ready to go out and start enjoying nature and the weather. Going to the extreme having to wear so much winter clothing this year has been daunting.

Recently my Brother-in-Law was sharing with me a story about how he and a few colleagues were researching the benefits of the standing desk.  They decided that since they are IT ...

I’ve been following Jane Bozarth and her #ShowYourWork movement that she has been advocating for sometime now.  With her recent book publication "Show Your Work" I’ve been even more interested in sharing and learning from each others’ trials and tribuations.  I now am more acutely aware and understand that when I come across something I have done and then have either learned from the ...

…get’s slapped in the face with hundreds of forum discussions and feels none the wiser. Not much of a joke there.  But neither is my recent MOOC experience.  I participated in a MOOC several years ago and for the most part it was interesting and compelling and I was invested in truly learning with the group.  With that in mind I went ...

I’m part of a group of elearning professionals in healthcare in Canada (eACH) and over the last week I asked them to resapond to a quick survey about their Core Curriculum courses.  Here is a brief summary of the results.
