Reference Links from Yesterday's Instructional Design Talk
Here are links from yesterday's talk on Instructional Design...
Tools - world class suppliers I work with the most:
eLearning - Rapid content development - Macromedia Breeze for audio/video synched with slides with quizzes, etc., Learn eXact for template-based content production including for SCORM trackable mobile & wearable devices, and Datmedia for streaming video with easy porting to mobiles.
Performance Support - Learning Guide for easy to build and access reference materials for systems & processes and Instancy, a platform supporting workflow learning including mobile data collection and task support.
Connecting people - a variety of methods were discussed. Communispace is an excellent provider of online commmunities. Coaching and faciliting immersive online experiences is an art itself we didn't have time to discuss - Feel free to contact me to learn more about it or about any of these tools/applications further. my email
Games for Learning - I mentioned the UN's Food Force game as a good example of a well produced 'Serious' Game with decent game play, and Second Life & There for low cost, rich 3D environments to connect people and give them a place to practice new behaviours. Here's the link to last week's BBC article on Second Life used for new graduates. I also mentioned Gizmondo as a promising choice for location-based team building games and 'personal learning devices'.
I described Podcasting and Blogs as emerging low cost tools being increasingly used for learning, with Elliott Masie's Learning 2005 pre-conference blog as a good example. And how about this blog posting for learning event follow-up? ;-)
