In the e-Learning Guild‘s discussion community, the concept of using stories for training is being covered. At one point, Christy Tucker noted that at a previous job she had worked with a person who had been a high school English teacher and was very good at creative writing. She really appreciated his skills in creating a story to engage the learner and push the concepts through. She then made the point that you didn’t have . . . → Read More: Interviewing for creativity

Corporate eLearning Strategies and Development: Image carving – Adobe hires imaging guru – Adobe Learning Summit Oh, man. If you have EVER spent time resizing an image, you owe it to yourself to see the short video presentation linked above. This totally blew me away. Images can now be scaled just like the layout of a web page! The time this could save a graphic designer, and the flexibility it affords, is unbelievable. Seriously, click . . . → Read More: Dynamic Image Resizing Jason Bourne is at it again. Chasing down his past and removing people who get in his way with some amazing hand-to-hand take downs. The Bourne Ultimatum picks up right where the Bourne Supremacy left off – in Moscow, escaping from the cops with a wounded leg. From there it crosses Europe multiple times before landing in the US for the finale. For my money, the first half of this movie outshone the second half. . . . → Read More: Review: The Bourne Ultimatum Stardust looked great from the trailers. Some really big names added to the attraction (Claire Danes, Robert DeNiro, Michelle Pfieffer, Peter O’Toole, Ricky Gervais). Neil Gaiman as the writer of the novel on which the film was based was definitely a selling point. Still, when I went in to the theater I expected a pleasant diversion and not much else. I was wrong. This movie has a great deal of heart, is very positive, and . . . → Read More: Review: Stardust SoSF Interview With the “Tin Man” Creators Steven Long Mitchell and Craig Van Sickle – Slice of Scifi Yeah!!! Here’s some hope for “The Pretender” fans… can’t wait to hear more about this. Our fans still clabber for the answers because we never closed “The Pretender” out. We will just say to them please be patient, it’s going to happen, hopefully soon. SLM: And it will happen in relationship to “Strange Highway.” SoSF: Thank . . . → Read More: “The Pretender” to continue/conclude online!! Doctor Who To Return For Fifth Season In 2010 – Slice of Scifi I can’t say I really understand why they are doing this. Does everyone really need a full years’ break from a 13 episode series? Still, I’m glad it will be back. Series Four, which went into production in July 2007, will hit UK screens in Spring 2008, followed by a special episode for Christmas 2008. In 2009 Doctor Who will return . . . → Read More: Doctor Who Takes a Vacation The Tech Effect | LeadershipJournal.net The issues of how – and whether – to integrate technology into training go beyond the borders of corporate training or academia. The same issues confront other professions as well, such as pastoring a church, as covered in the article linked above. I was struck, as I read through the article, at how similar the issues are, in fact. How do you reach the balance of visual vs. auditory vs. . . . → Read More: Media and technology issues for learning and persuasion Murder in the First, based on a true story, tells the tale of Henry Young (Kevin Bacon) and his attorney (Christian Slater) as they expose the brutality of the Alcatraz prison, which led to reforms in the system. Henry was a petty thief (he stole $5, one time) who had the misfortune of landing at Alcatraz. Following an escape attempt, he was thrown in solitary confinement and brutally treated for three years. When he got . . . → Read More: Review: Murder in the First Yep, it’s a chick flick. And a period drama. The last movie I watched that combined those elements was Vanity Fair, which just about killed me to watch, so I was pretty nervous about this one. I needn’t have worried. Sense and Sensibility is very smartly written, and surprisingly funny. The screenplay, which won a Golden Globe for Emma Thompson (and her very funny acceptance speech is on the DVD), apparently differs in many respects . . . → Read More: Review: Sense and Sensibility |
