  • Eureka! Jott is here!
    Have you ever had that â¬Üeurekaâ¬" moment when youâ¬"ve stumbled upon a piece of technology that is so interesting and useful to you that you canâ¬"t believe itâ¬"s real or free?

  • Whatever happened to inductive learning?
    When it comes to writing interactive learning materials, I've always preferred a particular approach and have used this almost without thinking for the past twenty years. Rather than 'tell and test', where you present information and then follow this up with a knowledge test, I prefer an inductive approach, where you build on the learner's prior knowledge ... and then let them in turn train their direct reports locally [OK, reasonable idea, but with two snags. First, it's ... prevent cheating. An inductive question is much simpler; all that's required is (1) a way to present the question ...

  • Any tool as long as it's Adobe
    As I write this, my Adobe Updater program is busy installing the latest updates to my Adobe Creative Suite 3. I had thought that, with my extravagant purchases, I was maintaining the Adobe share price all on my own, but the eLearning Guild's latest research report on authoring and development tools proves otherwise.

  • Localisation - more than an optional extra
    I was with the head of e-learning of a multinational enterprise a few weeks ago and he was describing how he intended to develop a series of e-learning programmes to implement a core curriculum across Europe. First of all this person did not like Word-based scripts or storyboards - he wanted each programme to start life as a PowerPoint that approximated the finished product. Fair enough. He then wanted to refine these presentations with finished artwork and import these into ... programmes in a further five languages and that he wanted local offices to carry out this localisation themselves ...

Sure, you might think it was the sex that pulled me in, but alas, I must admit I was more excited about the video games.James Gee's work is the primary topic of discussion but there is a lot of research covered in this article subtitled Gaming isn't for slackers: It sharpens thinking, hones social skills, and fine-tunes perception.In ...
