An Interpretation of Training in the 21st Century
I love Harold Jarche’s SlideShare here explaining many of the ideas and concepts we need to think about as we move forward in this web 2.0 world and the ways that we are going to continue to foster learning. I find it very important, yet very difficult still to get managment to understand the greater […]
LMS Is Not Managing Classroom Based Training
My days and nights are still consumed with the issue that our LMS does not manage classroom based courses well at all. I can not find a work around for our courses that run over many different days. The vendor gave me a solution if they are all in the same week, but that doesn’t […]
Corporate Learning Trends – Discussion
I sat in on today’s panel discussion with Tony Karrer, Robin Good, and Jane Hart. This was part of a week long online conference presented by Corporate Learning Trends & Innovations 2008. A few of the main points I gathered from the talk: Robin Good’s mind mapping exercise: 134 participants live, and updating a mind […]
An LMS Rant to No One in Particular
I’m working on the “1 course, many classes” issue. I’ve got it now that the learner registers for module 1 of 6. If the learner clicks “my courses” they see module 1 that they registered for (there is no date of the course for them though. (It can’t added to Outlook either like it should). […]
LMS what does it stand for?
This is a really quick post, but after my day yesterday struggling with my LMS, my computer that sounds as if it is taking off like a 747, and the constant screen freezes, I’ve come up with a new accronym for my LMS. LMS = Losing My Sanity
When is the content enough? LMS Pilot has become too intense
I’m working on a school project where I get to use Blackboard as a teacher. I have an assignment worth 30% of my overall class mark, but the actual content of the course material I put into the system is only worth 1/3rd of the mark. I’ve been working at it and working at it […]

Tony Karrer graciously asked me to participate in the launch of a new tool called eLearning Learning. I’ve added to my blog sidebar and you will be able to use it to see the most common terms, tools, and concepts that I blog about. Each of those links within the tool (widget) can then be […]

The list was compiled by Ace Online Schools blog. “Ace Online Schools is a guide to useful online resources for students and professionals. In addition to our own tips and tutorials, we recommend websites and applications that help […]
LMS Big Dreaming…Darn
I was so close to being happy….they almost had it. Update to my earlier post (moments ago). Further investigation by me is they haven’t quite got it yet. They have grasped the concept that a course may take place over many days with in a week and that each day the time may be different, […]
Big Changes in My LMS World Today
A couple of key things have begun to happen today. One I attended a meeting with my key IT people and the HR manager. Our HR system is a little old (okay very old) and has not really been updated for the size of staff we have currently. It was a great little system 10-15 […]
