The Rapid Elearning Blog

I love the weekly elearning challenges. They get us to do things we may not often do on our own. We get to practice new techniques and think through different ideas. We also get to see how others approach the same challenge. I always find those a great source of inspiration.

Another elearning challenge asked people to share their experiences and thoughts on elearning via a simple podcast.

This Week’s E-Learning Challenge

This week’s elearning challenge asks us to list 10 Things Instructional Designers Don’t Like to Hear.

Already, Tricia Ransom added her ten things in a blog post. Jason Morris created an infographic. And both Nicola Redfearn and Jackie Van Nice created funny little multimedia modules.

Thanks for the laughs. We need to laugh at your frustrations.
