    I love practical tools like this. I can easily see tweeking this a little and using it as part of my team's process. I'll add this to the stack for my case study.

    This is a great example of a quality checklist. It can be modified for various uses.

Love your first resource. I've joined the group because I think I could learn a lot from folks who are already in the business.

    Great explanation as to why you need input from key stakeholders in developing the plan.
  • cindy weaver on 19 Feb 12
     
    In the article it mentions the concept of "Work Backwards." In education, when planning, it is called "Backwards Design," beginning your plan at where you want to end up, which is usually the the state standard of learning.

    Hi Naomi -- great addition. I especially like the section about common pitfalls. Were there any other accompanying materials to this like a video or paper?

    This is great information for someone unfamiliar with project management. The key characteristics go beyond common sense ideals. I especially appreciate the suggestion to "cultivate and rely on extensive informal networks inside and outside the firm to solve problems that arise" - that is a great proactive problem solving strategy. Thanks for sharing this info :)
  • Naomi Wahls on 17 Feb 12
     
    This is a great list! I like how it lists not using information as a weapon. It's amazing to see managers ignore this rule. It comes with the territory of holding back one's emotions or personal preference. Letting go is a quality that is hard to find in management.

    This article is written in a humorous way and does describe the basic necessity of a project manager in eLearning projects. While it doesn't cover all aspects, it is well written and is open ended.

    A quick video about one successful e-learning project management approach. She includes a section for story-boarding in her process, which I think is a really cool creative step between instructional design and production.

    This was a great video you found Brook. I enjoyed the quality of the production, but I also think it did a great job of summarizing the total process. It actually cleared up a couple misconception I had with the process. Thanks for the post.

    This is a website dedicated to Project Management comics. These are good for a few laughs but they also put some of what we've been reading about into story-boarded scenarios. I think those without any project management experience will find it helpful in adding some context to our readings.

    Project managing e-learning. More is worse! This blog outlines some of the pitfalls that developing E-learning shares with traditional project management as well as some challenges unique to these types of projects. Some solutions are also suggested, mostly dealing with keeping your project plan agile and iterative.
  • Amber Fuhrer on 19 Feb 12
     
    Thanks for posting this article, Brook. Because it talks about elearning being software (tech) development and content development at the same time, it applies to my case study...and because it talks about training struggles, it is reflective of my own work environment too.
  • Edwin Hurley on 19 Feb 12
     
    This article brings up some valid points that I wish I had read a year or so ago. Originally I thought eLearning was simple converting F2F material for an online environment. At its basic concept it is, but the complexity of this process is much more complicated and resource intensive than I imagined. Those considering the jump from F2F should seriously consider the points of this article and the affect on their organization resources. Thanks for the info.

    I really enjoyed looking around Wiggio. I think I could use this in my classroom as well. I'm looking forward to using this site. :)
  • JP Sharp on 13 Feb 12
     
    What I enjoy the most about Wiggio is their ability to send text messages about deadlines for school projects. However, when trying to take full advantage of all their social connectivity components, I found myself running into issues with server lags. I think they probably still need more financial support or stability to increase the efficiency of their services.
  • Naomi Wahls on 17 Feb 12
     
    After using Wiggio for several weeks now, I do like some features, but the number of errors is obnoxious. It really reminds me of when I tried to use Google Wave in its final moments.

    I love these guys... always simple and straight forward. For me this is a bit of a reality check. When things get a little too heavy and a little too complex, it's good to focus on the basics.
  • Jamie Lewis on 18 Feb 12
     
    Tom Kuhlmann's advice is always practical when it comes to eLearning design and I see his advice about project management is no different. I found his advice to not view the things he discusses as a linear progression but as a set of activities that need to be done to get through a project.

    I like something that is so practical and simple. Good advice we all need to keep in mind and in an easy-to-read format.
