3 e-Learning Lessons Learned on the Road

please don’t attach unless really necessary

Jennifer — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 20:38:51 +0000

This time of year especially, it seems there are lots of email invites, to company events, gatherings, etc. And someone takes the time to create a pretty document that looks like an invite, and attaches it. That’s all fine. But then there’s nothing in the body of the email. At all.

So when I’m opening the email on my phone I have to actually open the attachment to see what the heck it is because there’s nothing in the body of the email. At all. Or, when I’m opening the email on my phone, I don’t open the attachment to see what the heck it is. Instead, I delete the message. C’mon, I can’t be the only one…

Please don’t attach unless really necessary. At least not if you want me to read it! And if you do attach a pretty invite, paste some of the text from it into the body of the message so there’s not nothing there. At all.

Want to Build Better E-Learning Courses? Think Beer

Jennifer — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 14:31:36 +0000

Tom, from the Rapid e-Learning blog, explains how courses are like beer:

On a hot day, after mowing the lawn, a cold pilsner is more satisfying than a heavier stout. But when I go out to have a beer, I typically prefer the richer flavors of a porter over something lighter. There’s no right or wrong beer where one is of higher value than the other. Beers are just different. So here’s my beer-based elearning meter:

Is the objective to share information or change performance?
What level of interactivity do you need in your course?
What should the course look like?
