The Surprise

Shifting from being a designer and facilitator for instructor led classes to a designer of e-learning opportunities has proved surprisingly challenging this last year. So many tools needed! So many skills to learn!! So many options available!!! Whew, what have I gotten myself into?

These challenges can be both exciting and overwhelming (read frustrating), but in the end all I want is for the e-learning opportunities I design to be effective for learning for adult customers, and at the same time, not be something they dread doing. So, the last couple of months I began a journey to learn all I could about building e-learning opportunities that are engaging and effective, so that I don't fall into the bullet-points-and-multiple-choice-question (page turner) trap that I've experienced as a learner in e-learning. Technology has advanced dramatically over the last few years, and there is so much more to offer.

Come and explore with me how to pump up e-learning using games, avatars, and scenarios. eLearning doesn't have to be a drag, it can be a GAS!!

Jumping Jack Flash, It's a Gas, Gas, Gas!!

I believe in continuous learning over a lifetime and welcome your suggestions and comments.
