In the Middle of the Curve - Thursday, August 21, 2008 - CommentsBeautiful Timelines For Your eLearning (From Bee Docs)
I often get requests for visual timelines in eLearning courses. Typically I’ll try to cobble something together using PowerPoint’s charting or drawing tools (shudder). Sometimes I’ll create the timeline in Apple’s Keynote (much nicer charting tools) and bring the graphic into PowerPoint (since I do most of my development work in Articulate Presenter) ...

A lot has happened in this time. My focus has changed dramatically. My day-to-day concerns are now centered around implementing, maintaining and strategizing around social learning / network / media initiatives with a side plate of formal training ...

OK this site, Boston Dynamics, has some awesome robots. The pic you see is of BigDog - wait till you see this one get kicked, slip on ice and walk across rubble. I also think the RiSE and LittleDog robots are pretty cool.

I met Cathy Moore when I was in Indianapolis last year, having followed her blog Making Change - ideas for lively elearning since its inception. Cathy's blog is aimed fairly and squarely at instructional designers, encouraging them to 'dump the drone' and create more lively, powerful e-learning. Cathy's posts are beautifully written, imaginative and nicely presented, which makes me believe she probably does a pretty expert job as a designer ...

A cloud is normally visible right? It seems then that the â¬Scloudâ¬ý metaphor of â¬Scloud computingâ¬ý is flawed although I understand that it is based on the typical computer network diagram. As I understand the term, cloud computing is used to describe the use of a scalable platform, like external web-based Google Apps, for computing services vs ...

This kind of engineering design often leads to "bloatware" ...

We had like 35-40 people in the room, everyone stayed really engaged and Brent and I got some great feedback on how to do this presentation better next time.
