About Tom
Hi, I’m Tom. I’m passionate about learning and technology. I’ve spent over 30 years in the training industry, building hundreds of hours of elearning. Along the way, I managed training projects at Capital One, Washington Mutual, and Weyerhaeuser, as well as with various smaller businesses and freelance customers.
I have a Master’s in Education Technology from Pepperdine, where I researched how personal expertise turns into communities of practice. These days, I run the user community at Articulate, where I get to work with e-learning developers every day.
We started The Rapid E-Learning Blog and spent years sharing practical tips here. In the early days it was the go-to resource for all things e-learning. This blog had a great run, but you’ll find fresh content here at the Articulate resource center or over at Tipsqueak now. I’d love to hear your ideas and learn about your training projects. Find me in the community and LinkedIn.
