This my second only time to blog about a year in review, great timing. But recently I watched a video from a leader at our institution and in that video what caught my attention was not necessarily the praise staff and faculty got (which they really deserve), but they mentioned a bunch of these other…

Using Summary and Conclusion Slides in E-Learning Courses #290
I have a back catalogue of small instructional design challenges and charrettes that I’ve been meaning to build into something bigger one day. That is obviously taking too long, so here’s a new idea. The Articulate E-Learning Heroes Community runs a weekly eLearning Challenge. I’ve mentioned before that often different IDs in different contexts will use…

We’re all online teachers now
James Skidmore over at uWaterloo is currently teaching a graduate course on online teaching and learning, and is creating 60 blog posts for the 60 days of the class. I think this is going to become a fantastic collection. Each post is short and snappy, focusing on a single topic which is discussed often in…
