Locking Progression

As learning managers worry that learners won’t ‘learn’ the vital content of their e-course, are we building modules to accommodate a paranoia or enabling true learning?

This article is interesting:

Video in Articulate

I’ve picked two blog postings to draw to our attention to because they cover the technical and creative aspects of embedding video in Articulate.

OK, they aren’t terribly creatively beautiful, but it at least gives us an idea of more interesting ways to show a video in the page.

It also nods towards what will and won’t be a successful use of the video in the module…maybe we can steer clients thinking when they are providing.

Unique Typefaces

Monthly new typefaces for download.  Not sure how we can use these online with all the font restrictions, but its inspiring nontheless.

Scrum Poker Cards

I’m really keen to know more about how Agile could help us in our PM and sales processes. This looks fun – estimates worked out through a game of poker!

Surreal Animation

I can’t believe someone actually went through with this project – the results are insane! A short-ish animated video with sumptuous colours, various animation styles and great use of music to enhance mood changes.

Adobe Cheat Sheets

This blog is superb for hyper-realistic object based design tips using the usual Adobe culprits. These cheat sheets look especially useful, let me know what you think.

Quirky Illustrations of People

I feel like I shouldn’t like these illustrations but I really do. I think this style could work well for e-learning and it may help us explore ways to develop our illustrative versatility.

Powerpoint Template

I like this angular PPT template and this link also gives you the files to download them.

Pictaculous Picture Palette

This is such a useful tool. Upload any reference image and it creates you a 5 colour palette from which you can pick colours for the project. Not only that, but you can email it to someone (Alex) and download an Adobe colour swatch Cool ah?

Toyota iQ font

This is a really inspirational project! A typeface created by tracking coloured points on the iQ car and rallying around a disused warehouse – who’d have thought!

No real e-learning inspiration here – apart from that Toyota is a client of ours, I’d like an iQ, and you can download the font from here: nl.toyota.be/iqfont
