Learning Solutions 2010 We’re one week away from Learning Solutions in Orlando. Not only am I presenting on visual design, assisting Patty Shank with her rapid e-learning workshop, participating in a panel event and working the booth, but it’s also the week we learn the results of the Lingos Global Giveback competition. Tom and I donated our time and submitted […]
Type War: Learn to Identify Common Typefaces
Type War: Learn to Identify Common Typefaces My high school Spanish teacher used to always chant “Repetition is the mother of learning!” I’ve always believed that which is probably why I’m a fan of flash cards and posting notes around my house when I want to learn something new. Font game Typewar is a fun […]
Using Improv’s Principle of Agreement to Create Better Screencasts
Last week I was watching Screenr’s Public Stream when I noticed a common theme in the screencasts: They were all perfect. Now I don’t mean perfect in terms of audio quality, lesson structure, speaker preparedness or even content relevance.

Behind the Typeface: CooperBlack
Behind the Typeface: CooperBlack I found this gem in buried in my archived bookmarks while preparing for last week’s Articulate Live ‘09 session on e-learning design. This video is at least 4 years old, but it’s still one of my favorite examples of anthropomorphism for learning. Imagine Sesame Street meets Behind the Music. Anyone looking […]

Abraham Lincoln and Facebook Templates for Learning
Last week Jane Bozarth and Cammy Bean posted a terrific parody of what Abraham Lincoln’s Facebook page might look like. While Lincoln’s Facebook template is well-done and humorous, it also serves as a history refresher by including popular, and lesser-known facts, about Lincoln. For example, are you familiar with all the references in the page: Did […]
