When I teach people how to write branching scenarios, writing dialogue is one of the places people get stuck. “I am not sure I agree with you.” ” “Trust me, I have been doing this for years. I know what I am talking about,” Rita replies. Dialogue can be tricky to write.

Top new blog posts of 2023 I would never have guessed that a post on learning objectives would be my top post for the year, but this turned out to be a surprisingly controversial topic. Should We List the Learning Objectives? Should we start elearning with a list of formal learning objectives? Probably not.

Next week is the Learning Solution Conference in Orlando. I will go there for the fourth year in a row. This year it will be extra fun, easygenerator does’t have a booth there (we moved all our marketing online), so I will be able to attend a lot of sessions and blog on them. I’m looking forward to all three.

If you know me, you know I'm a bit of an extrovert and I crave social interaction. And, like most of us, I like to learn through collaboration and conversation. So last month when I prepared for my LearnNow conference presentation on "Implementing Social Learning", I reached out to my social networks.
