Showing My Work #11

Posted by Matt Guyan | ELH Challenges, My Portfolio, Show Your Work |

Often when we talk about our work, we talk in terms of ‘what’ we did. The Showing My Work series of posts aim to also capture the ‘how’ something was done. E-Learning Heroes Challenge #18 – Using Characters in E-Learning. The brief: This week your challenge is to show us how to use characters in e-learning. You can create static slides that show character-based ideas, or build something more dynamic to show the interaction between characters.

Practice and Sharing: The Keys to Success

Posted by Matt Guyan | eLearning, Instructional Design |

These were the two messages that stood out over three days in Sydney at last year's iDesignX Australian Instructional Design Conference (21st March) sponsored by B Online Learning & Articulate and the eLearning Design Workshops with Tom Kuhlmann and David Anderson (22nd and 23rd March).

E-Learning Heroes Challenge #71 – Teaching Math Concepts with E-Learning. The brief: This week your challenge is to design a short lesson to teach one or more math concepts. The inspiration for my demo came from one of the source material examples that David provided, where teachers are using LEGO bricks to teach kids fractions. I also went to their website to check it out further. My idea was...
