Best Practices in Instructional Design of Serious Games - INFOGRAPHIC - 2 views

  •  
    Learn about the Best Practices for Instructional Design of Serious Games through this interactive infographic. Nice animation. Simple
  •  
    This is a very nice infographic. I agree with the developers that there is a tendency to get caught up in the bells and whistles of games at the expense of instruction that supports learning.

Performance Consulting: Moving Beyond Training - Dana Gaines Robinson - Google Books - 0 views

  •  
    Those of you who are in corporate training may be familiar with this book, but I found it to be extremely thought provoking! Here's a brief summary of the main ideas: The traditional training process confuses training activity with performance improvement by focusing on employees' learning needs, rather than on their performance needs. Traditional programs focus on developing excellent learning experiences, while failing to ensure that the newly acquired skills are transferred to the job. Thus, to be effective, training professionals must become performance consultants, shifting their focus from training delivery to the performance of the company and its individual contributors. Dana & Jim Robinson describe an approach suitable for use in any organizational setting or industry and with any content area. Dozens of useful tools, illustrative exercises, and a case study that threads through the book show how the techniques described are applied in an organizational setting.

The Adult Learner: The definitive classic in adult education and human ... - Malcolm S.... - 2 views

  •  
    Another old text that I refer to often! It draws me back to basic learning principles when I'm tempted to get distracted by new technologies. Sometimes it's difficult to remember that technology doesn't teach. It provides great tools to help learners, but technology can only reinforce tried and true learning principles. Here's a brief summary: How do you tailor education to the learning needs of adults? Do they learn differently from children? How does their life experience inform their learning processes? These were the questions at the heart of Malcolm Knowles pioneering theory of andragogy which transformed education theory in the 1970s. The resulting principles of a self-directed, experiential, problem-centered approach to learning have been hugely influential and are still the basis of the learning practices we use today. Understanding these principles is the cornerstone of increasing motivation and enabling adult learners to achieve. This eighth edition has been thoughtfully updated in terms of structure, content, and style. On top of this, online material and added chapter-level reflection questions make this classic text more accessible than ever. The new edition includes: Two new chapters: Neuroscience and Andragogy, and Information Technology and Learning. Updates throughout the book to reflect the very latest advancements in the field. A companion website with instructor aids for each chapter. If you are a researcher, practitioner or student in education, an adult learning practitioner, training manager, or involved in human resource development, this is the definitive book in adult learning that you should not be without.

Articulate Storyline - 4 views

I use both Captivate and Storyline. I fine Storyline to be more user friendly, Captivate can be a challenge in the beginning. Lynda.com offers courses in it but is fee based.
