The Learning Tools & Technology Tsunami – Will You Sink Or Swim?<br />
#334: Murphy's Law - Waiting To Strike<br />
Software installs for e-Learning products and tools<br />
always take longer than expected in a large<br />
organization. Allow plenty of lead time to get systems<br />
and software up and running when starting e-<br />
Learning from scratch. Or even if "just" upgrading.<br />

#335: Hey, Who Moved My Course?<br />
Time outs for connections between servers<br />
need to be coordinated. LDAP authentication<br />
Server, LMS Web Server, Database Server and<br />
Course Server. If the timeouts are not<br />
coordinated, a student may be in the middle of<br />
a 45 minute course, walk away for 30 minutes,<br />
come back, and complete the course, only to<br />
find out that a connection dropped, and all the<br />
work they did was lost.<br />

#336: Can You Find Me Now?<br />
Develop a strategic plan for the use of key<br />
words and metadata. Make sure that you<br />
include course, lesson, and topic names in the<br />
metadata for each content screen.<br />

#337: Don't Be A Hammer In Search Of A Nail<br />
Don't let technology drive your solution. There's more excitement here over a stack of laminated cheat<br />
sheets (job aids) than a highly sophisticated set of simulations. Given that you know the business result<br />
you are trying to impact, what media makes the most sense? It's not always e-Learning.<br />

#338: Know, Organize Media Files Pre<br />
Content Development<br />
Know your media file types. There are literally hundreds of file types out there and new ones<br />
seem to appear daily. Don’t worry. Learn the attributes of the twenty most common ones and<br />
they will serve you 99% of the time. Once you know them, organize them before you build a<br />
single page. By compiling all your media files in advance of building your content, you will save<br />
time both in searching and developing.<br />

#339: Better Safe Than Sorry - Don't Challenge "Off The Shelf"<br />
"Off the shelf" template tools should be reserved for the more simple training programs. Trying<br />
to modify a tool takes more time than if you developed in Flash from the start.<br />
