eLearning Guild’s online symposium is a great way for people to meet at a conference without the need to travel. The symposium for May 17 and 18, 2007 was titled 'New Techniques for Designing and Developing e-Learning Interactions' and would be keynoted by Patty Shank. My topic was 'Rapid Interactivity Building for True Learning Outcomes'. This being my first experience of addressing several hundred people in an online webinar, I was thrilled to experiment with this new medium.

Please comment, critque, add/change or modify. Any input you can provide will be helpful.

If like us here at Bromley College you have been deploying a VLE, then like me you may be wondering after having structured courses with all kinds of content from Word files to podcasts, where the technology is moving and what the outcomes have been. If you are thinking along these lines, then you will be interested in the findings of the JISC funded projects that are about to enter their second phase, you can find the site here.

I had a high school teacher who observed that the male students seemed to spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to be male students, and the female students seemed to spend a lot of time trying figure out how to get male students.

Organizations (corporate and academic) need to encourage trial and error. Trial and error is how break-through innovations are created and the way many of the gamer generation have been taught to learn. Gamers are used to making a mistake or failing, but they don't see this as a major problem. They call the concept "failing forward fast." This means that they gain incremental knowledge through repeated failure.

More than 240 books on Amazon.com and 90 articles on the American Society of Training and Development (ASTD) website are devoted to the measurement and evaluation of training. There are also more than 2,000 websites featuring consultants and tools to help the measurement process. Yet, despite all these extensive resources, most training managers do not.

Due to some new research , the appropriate use of PowerPoint is again a topic of discussion. I went back to look at different opinions expressed in the past, and I'm not sure that there's much consensus on whether we should use PowerPoint, how to use it appropriately, when it makes sense or when it doesn't and why. So, this month, The Big Question is.

Yet another anniversary, this time an amazing 10,000 years (in binary numbering that is, 32 years to those of you who are more analogue in your orientation) since I first entered the learning and development profession. It wasn't called learning and development then, of course, it was called training, but this appears to have been no more than a superficial re-branding.

I see more and more organizations (schools and corporations) reaching toward "tests" as the answer for effectively screening employees and determing success. I think tests (assessments) are an inaccurate and artifical way of measuring competence. Actually, some of the best students I have had did not do well on tests but they were creative, entergetic and full of great ideas, not to mention hard working.

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.

So the world seems to like the hyphen. My results are a little different but there certainly are more pages out there that have the hypen.

You invest a lot of time and energy into building training courses for internal use and for your customers and partners. As your reach grows, so does the number of LMSs you need to deliver training to, often both externally and internally. And chances are, you want to deliver that content in a way that’s compatible with every LMS, manageable for administrators, and easy for learners to access.

Deep joy, I'm off to the Czech Republic again on Sunday - second time in a month - for a week of teaching at University Neisse in Liberec. Neisse is unique (unless you know differently), because it comprises students from three countries - German, Czech and Polish.

To get things rolling, I've drafted out a script for the first section of the 30-minute masters, which is, unsurprisingly, the introduction. I will progress with this in spare moments - although there are not too many of those at the moment - but would be even more happy with a collaborative effort if anyone is game. The script is in the wiki, along with the content outline.
