This article explains the steps to identify and develop the tasks/content for a training module. These steps also relate well to the development of an online course and is a great review for the course I’m currently developing. Thanks, Nicole!

Thanks to Matthew Guyan for some great tips on creating complex interactions. He has provided great instructions for developing a multiple answer true/false slide a multiple slider.

I can use both these ideas in a current project. Yay!  Check them out here:

This posting is a couple of years old (2014), but I keep going back to it because the ideas are always good for students to use to present their “Excel/Access Tips” projects.

The following article looks at three ways to add info to Blackboard:

I totally agree with Option 3! It is so much more efficient and sustainable to upload a document to a server outside of Blackboard. Unfortunately, this method is not always supported or reliable, if it’s made available through your institution. At one time we did have space on our college server, but it was recently taken down without any notice. )-: ARGH! It was a lot of work to set it all up again on my own.

Great advice for SME’s (Subject Matter Experts):

— Good ideas and models for making TED talks type of presentations, too! I liked #10 especially (3 min; 8 things) Richard St. John: 8 secrets of success .

So happy to have found a better way to upload multiple files to Blackboard! Why don’t they tell us this stuff?

I attended the Articulate Roadshow in Toronto a few weeks ago and it was great. Excellent sessions by all presenters.  I’m hoping to spend more time using Articulate this summer to develop new materials for my courses and maybe even enter a few of the eLearning Hero Challenges.  This article by Mayra Aixa Villar (via David Anderson) is a good refresher on some key points to keep in mind as I design my materials:
