Which I think sounds like a good thing. Great post, Cammy and Im completely with you on loving the physical feel of a good book. The beauty of these is that I can sit at home and from my own desk access the thoughts of potentially millions of people, something that isnt possible with a physical object. Don 8:38 AM Davesaid.

Cammy: Although I like to think Im good-humored, I am leery of "humor" or "fun" (scare quotes are deliberate) injected into training like salt water into a frozen turkey. That said, I think the rubber duck idea sounds great. Im glad youre on board with my ducks! Im particularly thrilled with using scenarios (naturally :).

Im still a really hands-on person. Or maybe Im just too lazy and poor. Now, Im not linking to John just because he is full of praise of me (which is nice and somewhat embarrassing, I must admit.), Citing academic theory makes it sound like you are putting more effort into it than "I dunno - this just made sense.

Im concerned that women will be excluded if such a focus is put on gaming skills -- or at least the gamer label. Im just raising some questions. I guess Im saying the focus should be less on "gaming" and more on use of new technology (social networking sites, gadgets, etc.) I dont have a conclusion here. 9:18 AM Cammy Bean said.

The folks at Kineo wrote a piece on the future of rapid e-learning tools, summarizing "our view is to give potential authors [SMEs] some easy to use but well structured templates which will give instructional integrity to how they develop their learning." If youre providing SMEs with the templates, Im not sure theyll be altering them.

"Emerging" = kinds of e-learning that are just starting to show up -- in labs, new company offerings. In the 90s there were one or two ways to do e-Learning: CDRoms and then the web. Pages and pictures and some sound and we turned the pages and took a test. This was "e-Learning 1.0". People dont learn in chunks.

Im not sure if the SME was reading a script, reading the notes, or just speaking from the heart. They said it "sounded more real" and they trusted it more because they knew this person was talking from experience. Not the best quality sound, but who really cares when you're listening over your crappy laptop speakers anyway.
