For instance, usually there is barely time to get the material together, let alone organize it well and produce well-designed practices and assessments that are both challenging and valid.

I Googled my head off for help with this last night and couldn’t come up with anything, so I thought I’d put this out there for those of you who want to put your head through your monitor because Captivate is driving you insane. Yesterday I was editing a recording I made in Adobe Captivate 2. It was only 18 frames, about 7 minutes long, and is a demo of a system we use at . . . → Read More: Fixing published audio problems in Captivate 2 Urgent News Release – HostPC Community Support Forums See, this is how people are supposed to behave. I have a lot of respect for Joe’s integrity. Joe is the owner of HostPC, the hosting service I use here. On June 1, when his competitor ThePlanet suffered a major crisis that took down their clients’ sites, Joe made this offer: This evening, one of the datacenters for ThePlanet suffered a major explosion in their electrical room . . . → Read More: HostPC supports competitor in crisis The Learning Circuits Blog: Scope of Learning Responsibility What is the Scope of our Responsibility as Learning Professionals? That’s the question of the month, and it’s clarified a bit in the above linked post: Do educational institutions and corporate learning & development departments have responsibility for supporting Long Tail Learning? Do they have responsibility for learning beyond what can be delivered through instruction? If so, what is their responsibility? Where is the edge of . . . → Read More: Limits of Responsibility – ASTD’s Big Question for March I had the opportunity to visit the blog connected to Oprah’s “A New Earth” course on Eckhart Tolle’s book. I’ve been looking at this training experience over the last few weeks from the perspective of a corporate training professional. You can see my thoughts on the recorded sessions and the live sessions as well. Something that is hard to get across to executives who see blogs as strictly online personal journals is how a blog . . . → Read More: Oprah’s Online Training – Part 3: The blog My company has recently shut down all access to YouTube. I get that. I completely believe that many people are using company time and bandwidth to watch all sorts of inappropriate — or just plain time wasting — content. From a certain perspective, I can support the decision to prevent that from happening. There is a war between those who would waste company time and resources, and those who are tasked with keeping that from . . . → Read More: I’m a casualty of war Quitting Facebook just got easier – NY Times In the wake of the recent controversy, including NY Times coverage, Facebook has announced it will delete users permanently upon request. The request must be made through a form on a revised Help page: The updated Facebook help page now includes the question “How do I delete my account?” The answer: “If you do not think you will use Facebook again and would like your account deleted, . . . → Read More: Facebook changes deletion policy How Sticky Is Membership on Facebook? Just Try Breaking Free – New York Times (You may need a free account to read that article) Okay, I’m on Facebook. I have a love/hate relationship with Social Networking sites. I see the benefit they could offer (though I don’t think it’s truly being realized), but I also see huge opportunities for abuse in multiple areas, including security. There have been commercials lately, targeted at teens, mostly, that . . . → Read More: How long will your face be on Facebook? Wink – [Homepage] Just ran across this free application that could be a replacement for Adobe Captivate, if you’re looking for a quick and dirty way to create software demos. Did I mention it’s free? Just from the screenshots and incredibly short example, it looks like it does a pretty good job, but isn’t as polished looking as Captivate. I haven’t tried it yet, but I plan to soon. It might be a decent alternative . . . → Read More: Replace Adobe Captivate for free? Writer’s Blog: Striking Writers Head to Capitol Hill The writer’s strike continues, though negotiations have started once again. Meanwhile, the writers went and had a mock debate in Washington D.C. to raise awareness. Seems like it was pretty funny… – On the writers strike: “It would cost Paramount a total of $4.6 million to give the writers everything they’re asking for. That’s half the amount it would take to get Reese Witherspoon into a movie. . . . → Read More: Writer’s Blog: Striking Writers Head to Capitol Hill |
