I often participate in the Articulate community’s eLearning Challenges through this blog. While I’ve used some of Articulate’s products, I instead use other products, usually H5P. I thought, rather than being an Articulate eLearning Hero, that I could be an InArticulate eLearning Hero. Thankfully, people read and comment on the prototypes I create for these challenges, and…

Using Interactive Checklists and To-Do Lists in E-Learning #291
I have a back catalogue of small instructional design challenges and charrettes that I’ve been meaning to build into something bigger one day. That is obviously taking too long, so here’s a new idea. The Articulate E-Learning Heroes Community runs a weekly eLearning Challenge. I’ve mentioned before that often different IDs in different contexts will use…
Revisiting the Architekton
It feels like ages ago now, but there was a bit of time where I more actively looked for traces of instructional design through other design disciplines. That was before the “great pivot” and all things had to focus on onlinifying courses en masse. This week, I was chatting with a colleague about some work…
New H5P Content Type – Information Wall
Earlier today, Oliver Tacke posted a new content type he developed for a special project. You won’t find this type in the H5P content hub, but as Oliver says, As usual, if you want to use the content type and if are allowed to install H5P libraries, you can simply download this demo content via…
Personality type tests with H5P
This is just a really quick post about me not putting 2 and 2 together as soon as I’d like, but I need to write this down so I don’t forget again. I’m categorizing this as #InArticulateeLearningHero, though it is not an official challenge from the elearning heroes group. Over the past few years there…
My Top 10 for Learning 2021
I can’t recall the last time I added my top 10 tools for learning as part of Jane Hart’s annual survey (I missed the survey this year I’m pretty sure). I thought I would follow the lead of other IDs, L&D Pros, and Edtechs by sharing my top 10 list on the blog such as…
How do you present learning objectives to your students?
By the end of this paper, readers should be able to: 1) examine the effectiveness of learning objectives (LOs) on retention of expository text, 2) evaluate a method to present LOs that optimizes learning, and 3) explain why this method is better than simply providing LOs in the form of traditional statements. – Sana, F.,…
Alternative delivery methods for distance education: a history
In case my comment on Tony’s blog gets eaten I thought I would repost here what I left as a comment there. While the original post provides some interesting examples of distance education delivery they are mostly examples from our southern neighbours. For a Canadian example we can look to the University of Saskatchewans Better Farming…
Day 18: EdTech Cats
This post, as it turns out, could just be the same as Day 10: My Office Buddy. But it would be a shame not to share more pictures of my office buddy, who is also an edtech cat, so here we go:
Day 16: Inspiring Keynotes of the Past
Thanks to the ALTC for limiting this to being just keynotes, because if I had to choose from any presentation I’ve ever seen my brain would probably melt and pour from my ears from overheating. Keynotes alone is challenging enough. There are plenty of conference keynotes that fade from memory almost as soon as they’ve wrapped…
