Type War: Learn to Identify Common Typefaces

2010/02/15 By David 2 Comments

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

2009/09/28 By David 13 Comments

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. They certainly covered the range in those areas:-) By “perfect” I mean perfect in that they […]

Screenr – Screencasting Tool for Twitter

2009/08/21 By David 1 Comment

We released an awesome elearning tool this week. It’s called Screenr, it’s web-based, it’s completely free and the easiest screencasting tool I’ve used. Sure, because I now work for Articulate, you’re probably thinking I’m biased, and that’s fair, because I am. But I’ve also been screencasting for over ten years, produced some video training courses […]

3 Ways to Create Engaging E-learning Bullets

2009/06/21 By David 12 Comments

Like ’em or hate ’em, bullet points are a big part of  e-learning. And when used appropriately,  they’re an effective way to chunk content. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case.  Years of misused bullet points have altered  learners’ DNA in such a way they skip right past them. So what’s an e-learning designer to do? […]

Behind the Typeface: CooperBlack

2009/03/13 By David Leave a Comment

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

2009/02/16 By David 8 Comments

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 […]
