Ever have the need to know how to do something in Adobe Acrobat, Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Flash, Illustrator, Photoshop and a host of other tools? Then link to Adobe's Video Center for free, high quality eLearning / simulations. In order to insure crisp graphics, make certain you put your browser into the full screen mode with at least 1024x768 screen resolution. Given the inclusion of Dreamweaver and Flash, I will add the content to the Engineering Learning Wiki engineering design tools and software sections.

Al Moser trashes voice over PowerPoint in this blog post about using multimedia in eLearning. He feels audio is a weak solution because it reduces knowledge retention, reduces productivity, reduces accessibility, and removes searchability. He concludes by saying recorded VIDEO sucks. (I think he means boring videos suck not all videos).  I believe Al is making this about the tool (PowerPoint + audio) when he should be talking about the method and the quality of instruction ... the phone.

I've been trying to understand better where simulation fits within the skills development process and whether simulation is the only/best option available to trainers and/or learners. My diagram shows a stepped transition from the abstract ... hypothesise. To be effective, simulations need to approximate the situation in which the skill must be applied for real. This requires a degree of physical fidelity (the simulation looks and feels like the real thing) and functional fidelity (it behaves like the real thing). Fidelity comes at a cost (many millions of dollars if you're talking flight simulators ...

The Learning Circuits big question for January asks "What are the trade offs between quality learning programs and rapid e-learning and how do you decide?"Well, there's an assumption underlying this and I'm questioning it. Who says e-learning materials that take a long time to produce are necessarily high quality, let alone relevant or effective? There isn't a member of the e-learning community who hasn't worked on projects that were over-engineered, over budget and appeared ... application.I know some development takes time, especially games, simulations and scenarios, and anything with ...
