"This is the sixth and final post in a series of six that covers Deeper eLearning. The goal of this series is to build upon good implementations of instructional design, and go deeper into the nuances of what makes learning really work. It is particularly focused on eLearning, but much of what has been mentioned also applies to face-to-face or virtual instruction. We've covered objectives, practice, concepts, examples, and the emotional component. Here we're talking about putting it all together."

eLearning 101 Part 3: Development Roles This section includes the roles and responsibilities that are included during the development process. Some roles are mandatory during any course development process, while other roles may be optional depending on the needs of the course. All roles should be identified and assigned at the beginning of the project. Every person involved in the project should be notified at the beginning of the project of his or her role. Note: one person may have multiple roles. It is a good standard of practice to form a committee to identify the roles and expectations of each team member and to have each person accept their role in writing to ensure they understand the requirements of the position. See communication log example, free download at the bottom of the article.

As adoption of mLearning (or mobile learning) increases, organizations need to migrate their legacy Flash eLearning courses to HTML5. In this article, I highlight how you can use this opportunity to enhance the impact of your online training.

The Free version of easygenerator has many of the functionalities that the 'paid' version has. The most important is that it has all the educational functionalities that sets easygenerator apart from the competition. For example, Learning objectives can be managed in an adaptive dashboard, placing them in the heart of the design and the eLearning course. The adaptive dashboard will also enable you to set the progress for the course per objective and create rules for study advices. Also, courses can be published in SCORM and HTML.

Blended learning is an important model of learning where large amount of knowledge and skill-based content needs to be imparted in phases and redundancies need to be avoided. I will share few examples of blended learning in this write-up.

What is microlearning? That's an interesting and often asked question. Is microlearning a simple text message? Is it a short video? Is it bound by time? Does microlearning need to include a quiz question? Many questions swirl and whirl around microlearning. 

I've seen a couple of recommendations for tools and software on here seperately. I'm a freelance Instructional Designer, in my first year as an independent. I'm finding tools here and there, as I'm trying to minimize operating costs where possible. Individually it seems that many ID's and consultants have their favorite go-to tools that they know. I think it would be really great for us to pull together a list of free ID tools into one area. For example, someone in this group recommend Jing as an alternative to Snagit. I used Xmind the mindmapping tool for needs assessment and topic analysis. posted by Erin Gratton What recommendations do you have fellow ID's?

Neuroplasticity has been a topic of discussion in the areas of brain research and development in the last few years. It refers to the ability of the brain to develop new connections between synapses due to various reasons. Few examples on the relationship between neuroplasticity and learning are shared in this blog.

Instructional Design Strategy for Achieving Alignment Which Comes First, Activities or Assessments? We have been told all our lives to put things in order. Keep your tax files in order. Keep your house in order. Alphabetize your index. Number your chapters. Write the introduction before the conclusion. Yet, sometimes actually doing things in the order in which they appear as a final product is not the most effective approach. Take course design for example. When we see the finished product of an online course, we see the objectives followed by activities and resources, and finally the assessment. While this sequence may be the logical order for the published course, it is not necessarily the most effective approach for the design process, especially when alignment is a critical focus. http://elearningindustry.com/instructional-design-strategy-for-achieving-alignment

Differentiating Leadership Development - Design Recommendations for Leadership Development Executive leadership development shares similarities with other learning programs. For example, it must direct itself to the specific needs of its audience, and learner reflection is important to increase retention for on-the-job application. For the senior learner, application of knowledge and skills is tantamount to success of their company. A support structure should be in place with regular reminders to help the senior leader apply new knowledge and behaviors in how they lead to affect change http://elearningindustry.com/differentiating-leadership-development-design-recommendations-for-leadership-development
