eLearning: Where do I start?

Living in this "information technology" age, one would think that all Instructional Design information is easy to find. I have found that many of the most valuable resources are the ones that took me a long time to research and actively seek out, or ones that I stumbled upon. When designing eLearning, the resources you have and the tools used can make a positive difference to the learning experience the users take away. Here are some excellent resources that I have found and use on eLearning and development. If you have any that you would like to share, I welcome them as well!

Adobe Captivate is a tool that I have a lot of experience with personally. It allows for a very high interaction to a no interaction learning experience. This tool provides the flexibility depending on the learning/training needs of the audience that you are designing for. This blog is answering a lot of questions that users have as they are more exposed to designing learning sessions in the Captivate tool. It also covers many of the more advanced functions available, but not all users know about.

eLearning Technology dives into some of the hot topics in eLearning development such as Flash, Twitter, and Mobile Learning. We are all on a journey to keep up with the times and the technology and to be able to really successfully utilize each of these as training methods. This blog is a great resource to keep up on these hot topics and really take a look at how we can use and incorporate these into course design.
