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

#328: Content In The Driver's Seat<br />

Do not let the technology (i.e., authoring tool)<br />

drive the learning solution. Content is, and will<br />

always be, king and should be the primary<br />

driver.<br />

David Igel<br />

#329: Standards Are Not Standards<br />

For Nothing<br />

Adhere to technical publishing standards<br />

(SCORM) when authoring e-Learning content.<br />

This may seem unnecessary at first, but as your<br />

library grows, and the need to keep it evergreen<br />

arises, those benefits will, to say it mildly, far<br />

outweigh the initial efforts.<br />

#330: Technology At Its Best: Simple<br />

Keep the technology simple - the more<br />

complicated the technology the more time will<br />

be wasted by learners and tutors on getting the<br />

technology to work, rather than on the learning.<br />

#331: e-Learning Is All Around Us<br />

e-Learning is not just for the web or the PC - it's PDA, it's phone. Think phlexible!<br />

#332: The Customer Is Always Right<br />

Be cautious of the technology team trying to make e-Learning compatible only with the latest and greatest<br />

versions of Media Players (which many people don't have). Yes, it is easy for people to download these, but<br />

many have fear in downloading anything, thus the end result is we lose a customer. If at all possible, try<br />

making courses available in multiple formats so that it fits the need of the customer.<br />

#333: Just Because You Can Does Not Mean You Should<br />

Software gives us hundreds of possible transitions to use in video editing. But it is best to stick to using the<br />

basic "cut" or the simple "dissolve" unless your "gee-whiz" transition will somehow improve the learning<br />

process. Most others are often distractions. Don't get caught in the design technology trap!<br />
