OK, I find it difficult to contain my excitement when I come across a new e-learning tool. This site, called Asterpix, is a kindness offered to all of us who have difficulty doing...well, anything. This is the future of how-to help for many topics I think. So much easier than sifting through a user manual. Now to join the fun and post some of my own stuff. Enjoy.
An interesting and informative look at evidence-based findings in the field of instructional design. There is also a webinar at Adobe entitled e-Learning & the Science of Instruction: Applying Evidence-based Guidelines for Digital Learning Environment that Teach where Ruth Clark discusses the topic in further detail. Note you must register with Adobe (free) to access the presentation. It is a good overview of the subject of best practices in the evolving field of instructional design and for further in-depth information I recommend The Cambridge Handbook of Multimedia Learning. We are continuing our e-learning videos for our client and the next series is more complicated in nature and needs the application of best practices more than ever.
I thought it would be useful to have this video on-hand for when we begin uploading screencasts on our plone website. More of a reference for me than anything else, but all the better if others also find it useful.
Here is the video explaining how to publish multimedia on a plone website:
Also a link from the plone blog re: updates since the video. Very interesting stats on the adoption of multimedia on the web. There is mention that screencasts would have improved the knowledge transfer - we couldn't agree more!
