Topics on eLearning.
At the end of February, I attended LN Mastery Day: Using Data to Demonstrate Learning Impact in Bristol, organised by The Learning Network. The day brought together learning professionals to explore a question many of us are still trying to answer: how do we show the real value of learning?
Tight budgets always make me look at what’s possible. When a client asked about getting their eLearning translated, we talked about cheaper options and how far we could go without a full translation service. That’s when I suggested trying DeepL, an AI translation tool that promised professional results.

There have been some big developments in the eLearning space this year, with lots of new tools and technologies to play with. I’ve noticed some really interesting trends and observations this year, so I thought I’d take some time out to share my top five in this blog post.

I love a hands-on workshop. Since the pandemic, there have been a lot less of them around, so when I received the Learning Network newsletter which advertised an eLearning Mastery Day, how could I resist? So off I went to Chester, and this was my experience.

I purchased the Scenario Design Toolkit by Cathy Moore a little while ago; it’s been something I’ve been dipping in and out of alongside reading Instructional Story Design by Rance Greene and Scenario-Based eLearning by Ruth Clark. I’ve finally completed the toolkit and wanted to share some of my initial thoughts.

With the Coronavirus forcing more and more schools and universities to suspend lessons, it has prompted many institutions to look at moving their face to face training online. It can take teams of individuals to move this type of training online, but it doesn’t necessarily have to. My advice? Keep it simple!
I wasn’t quite sure what to expect when I attended the Articulate Roadshow a few weeks’ ago in London. I’d attended a couple of London meetup sessions in the past and even though it was good to meet like-minded individuals, the sessions tended to cater towards new users of the software. After reading the agenda for the Roadshow event I felt positive that I’d walk away with some new skills.
I’ve been genuinely surprised at how much I learnt during the two-day event. If you’re thinking of attending an Articulate event in the future, read on to learn more about my experience!
Since becoming a contractor, I’ve found it difficult to give myself a job title. Technically I run my own business, so I could be director, but who is a director of 1? Seriously? (although fingers crossed for future expansion) I could just be a Contractor, but that doesn’t really describe my actual job. I’ve done some consulting work…so I could use Consultant. I’m mostly an E-Learning Developer, Instructional Designer, sometimes a Trainer….WHAT AM I!
