What are eLearning Devs and IDs reading?

Thought I would pose the question here. What are some good resources that you recommend? They don’t have to specifically be direct to eLearning or Instructional Design, but they obviously can. But if there is something that relates and you feel […]

Digital Learning, Brand and Communications: The Holy Trinity

The three teams can support one another in a number of ways and form an effective partnership. Brand Let’s start with how a Digital Learning Team can work with the Brand team.

Adobe Captivate – Converting to Responsive

I originally recorded an #eLearning #Livestream on this same topic but it felt sloppy so I didn’t publish it. Today I decided to record this live stream as a regular video tutorial. In this video tutorial, we review some best practices when converting non-responsive projects into a responsive project. In this video I decide to go with fluid boxes, however, you can also use breakpoints if you prefer that style of design. I’d love to hear what others are experiencing […]

Video Games and Instructional Design

For this post I’ll be talking about video games and their impact on instructional design. This idea came to me earlier today while playing Mario Kart Wii with my son. At 36, I’m three decades older than Avery, but as I watched him play, I couldn’t help but find a new appreciation for the Mario Kart franchise that I, too, played when I was younger, in that it serves as a great generational equalizer. You may have another game that […]

Choosing an LMS – it doesn’t have to be this hard

Quite probably, anyone who has spent any time at all researching online platforms for publishing their Cp content will have had the same two thoughts as me: There really seems to be no end to the number of elearning system providers.
