The Learning Tools & Technology Tsunami – Will You Sink Or Swim?<br />

#319: Don't Overkill<br />

Don't let the technology drive the solution. Sometimes a Post-It (tm) note could be the solution to your<br />

learning gap. Focus on what you're trying to accomplish, not the tools you'll use to create or deliver it.<br />

#320: Match Choice To Need<br />

Not everything should be a narrated PowerPoint! Choose e-Learning technology based on your<br />

content and learning objectives.<br />

#321: Use Cheap (Not Tacky) Tools<br />

E-Learning does not require expensive proprietary platforms. I have used the ubiquitous email<br />

as an e-Learning tool. You can specify a topic (such as e-Learning) and invite participants to<br />

contribute tips. You can convert this activity into a competitive and collaborative game and<br />

collect and post the resulting inputs as examples and templates.<br />

#322: Putting Technology In Its Place<br />

Use technology to add value to learning and/or increase efficiency of the learning services. Nothing else.<br />

Dennis Macnamara<br />

#323: Reading List<br />

If you haven't heard of SCORM or 508 Compliance, read up on it. It will allow the greatest portability of your content.<br />

#324: Work Within The Boundaries Of Your Technology<br />

Make sure you don't lose sight of the training requirements. It is still about the learning, not the technology.<br />

#325: Save Yourself Some Headaches<br />

Unless you have very strong IT support, I highly recommend having your online delivery tool hosted externally.<br />

#326: Tool Scoop<br />

When using Microsoft Producer, the free multimedia download tool from Microsoft, be sure to utilize the<br />

HTML line of the timeline with a text script of the audio file being listened to at the same time. This added<br />

bonus keeps compliant standards for Section 508 of the Disabilities Act and also enhances the<br />

opportunities for optimum learning styles, reaching graphic, visual learners with PowerPoint, audible<br />

learners with audio recordings, and text readers with the HTML document.<br />

#327: The Worst Case Scenario Drives The Rest<br />

Be very, very mindful of the bandwidth limitations which your users would potentially be<br />

constrained by - and plan for the worst case "bandwidth" scenario.<br />
