LMS Saga Continues With an Unsuccessful Upgrade
My LMS received and upgrade last night and of course at first I was excited. The message in my inbox this morning read “…upgrade is now complete as we have moved the files to live site. Everything seems to be working fine but would you be able to do some testing on your end in […]
Articulate Interaction – How to Navigate an Articulate Based Course
I’ve been working for months and months to get an LMS up and running for my organization (do a search for LMS on my blog and you’ll see the overall journey) now the real fun begins. I now have so many people coming to me asking for this course to be created and that one. […]
Composing a TweetBook for DevLearn 2009
A while ago a Twitter project from another conference was tweeted by Mark Oehlert about a compilation of all the tweets that came out from conference attendees in to one digital book. The conference had well over 4000 tweets posted during it’s run. Thinking this was a really intriguing idea and an incredible challenge I […]
Using #lrnchat as an example of the benefits of an online social group
Discussion Task for Online Course: select one effective moderating principle that you feel most comfortable with OR most challenged by, briefly explain why. I feel most comfortable with the principle of “Moderating Takes Place in Both a Professional and Social Context” because of the numerous social online communities I am currently involved in.

How I Created Help Tutorials for My LMS
Since I had so few people come out to my drop-in sessions about the new LMS I was completely unable to train the 2700+ staff on how to use the system. I do think that we were able to configure it and create labels that make it fairly self-explanatory. Also, although it looks nothing like […]

LMS Launched with a Successful Whisper
Well I was pleasantly happy to finally get the LMS I’ve been working on for the last 2 years up and running for the organization. Unfortunately the organization did not seem to share my enthusiasm for the event. My wonderful idea of having open drop in sessions all day long (30 minutes in length) for […]
LMS Launch Happens in 11 More Sleeps
Wow, I really can’t believe that the day has finally come. It’s been delayed countless times since Fall 2007 for one reason or another and now in 7 short business days (including today) it will be here in all it’s glory. (image retrieved from: Nasa http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/shuttlemissions/sts121/launch/index.html, Sept 10, 2009) I speak of our (MY) LMS. […]
Don’t Forget You Do Have An Electronic Tone
I recently had my annual performance review that went very well. Always a good feeling afterwards to know, “Yes I have my job for another year.” There were several things that I knew would be brought up as tasks or skills that I am performing at or above expectations. That’s not to “toot my own […]
What Makes Great eLearning?
I sat in and participated last night in the weekly #lrnchat through Twitter. If you haven’t yet joined in to listen (read) and talk (write) in a #lrnchat session, you really should join us. Some extremely brilliant minds in the field of elearning (and I use that loosely as it includes social media, sims/games, teaching […]
