WeirdGuy has a good post about learning and fun. Check out the “10 Benefits of the Fun Factor” section. Sort of meshes wit Gagne’s Nine events?

Great Idea from Thiagi
Building the plane WHILE you’re flying it. This might be the ultimate example of Rapid Instructional design. What a great idea! http://thiagi.com/pfp/IE4H/october2007.html#TrainingDesign
e-Learning handbook & graphics
I was just looking over the ELearning Guild’s “Handbook of e-Learning Strategy” and saw these nice e-Learning related graphics. I think these are nicely representations of the process designed . Kudos to the designer of these.
Adobe Share
This looks like it could be very interesting. Another type of spin on the online file storage/sharing model. Adobe Share (beta) is a free service that let’s you send docs without attachments, access your docs online from anywhere, post links to your docs in wikis and blogs, embed a flash version of your docs inContinueContinue reading “Adobe Share”
PodTech:Eclipse BIRT Exchange, collecting tacit knowledge for the user community
Our LMS vendor has suggested that this (BIRT) may be one possible solution for our reporting needs. Hmmm..not so sure what to make of that. Do you know anything about this?

Super, quick & easy blog posting. Seems like blogging with training wheels sort of – but that is not always a bad thing. Mine is here http://tmiket.tumblr.com/ I can think of some good uses for this. For newbies, parents, etc. How about you?

10-20-30 Rule
I like the concept of this. Guy Kawasaki’s 10-20-30 rule says that a PowerPoint presentation should have ten slides, last no more than twenty minutes, and contain no font smaller than thirty points. I think Merlin Mann of 43folders said it best…”Get in, get out, and don’t make people squint. Awesome.”
Are you using the right elements?
[via Soul Soup ] This is a good reference to see if there are other tools that you could be using to collaborate better. How are you using these tools that are listed? Are there any that are new to you?
