Continuing with Content Curation

Since my last post on curating content, I’ve been keeping an eye out for articles and posts that discuss this topic especially for L&D folks. Generally speaking I find that lots of people are saying that curation will be a required skill for L&D but these same people are either not practicing curators or getting into the detail of how to curate content. One of the challenges I can see regarding content curation is finding ‘quality’ content in a sea of information. With such a huge volume you can’t be across everything but maybe that’s ok? Then what about sub-categories...

Learning About Screencasting

Posted by Matt Guyan | eLearning, ELH Challenges |

A few months ago David Anderson started a new type of E-Learning Hero Challenge – creating screencasts (which are short ‘how-to’ video clips). I mentioned in an earlier blog post that one of the areas I wanted to build knowledge and skills in was screencasting so these new challenges would be a great opportunity to get started. Another reason why these challenges appealed to me is that most of my role at B Online Learning is about teaching others – how to use Storyline 2 and the process of creating an eLearning module – so the challenges also seemed like...

Building Your Personal Brand

Posted by Matt Guyan | Reflections |

A few months ago I was invited to be part of a panel discussion on personal branding at the Australian Institute of Training and Development (AITD) national conference. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to attend so I asked Michelle Ockers (who lead the discussion) if it would be ok if I wrote a blog post on the topic, using some of her discussion questions as a basis of the post. She kindly agreed and so here are my thoughts… Michelle defines a personal brand as: “While we associate brands with large corporations and products, the idea of having a personal brand...

Getting Started with Curating Content

Posted by Matt Guyan | Reflections |

Curation. Whenever I hear the term I always think of a person working in an art gallery carefully selecting pieces of work for an upcoming exhibition. But I’m also seeing it as a skill needed for modern L&D folks… “We need curators and community managers, rather than course designers” Charles Jennings …and certainly it’s an area (along with community management) that I want to explore more and build my own capability in. But how can I do this? What is curation? The starting point in wanting to learn more about how to do something is to know what it means....

Sliding Along with the Force

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

A few weeks ago I was delivering a Storyline 2 session in Brisbane and we were looking at the slider interaction and how you can use a slider to change the state of an object and also use it to show layers. In the change of state example we were looking at, you slide the thumb along the track and the colour of an image changes. One of the participants asked if it were possible to change the colour of the thumb to match the colour of the image and my response was “I’m not sure, I haven’t tried that...
