I've been reading lot's recently about "serious games" for e-learning and to date I haven't read anyone who has hit the mark on what makes games work and how games would be applied to e-learning. So far people seem overly hooked on big, immersive, high-end graphic based games such as...

I've been a huge fan of the game Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30. For those of you who don't know it's a game that puts you in the shoes of a soldier dropped in France on D-Day. As he gathers stragglers and gets together his team he finds...

It's interesting that I've been thinking of this topic for some time and realised that it will never properly work in the wide open World of the Internet, for there is no social self-control for people, they can shout, abuse others, scream like a child, and do all the socially...

Everyone in the know in e-learning is banding around the m-learning buzzword as much as they are that phrase 2.0 (with anything chucked on at the beginning), and they're not thinking about the best solution for both the learner and provider, nor are they thinking broadly enough. They are caught...

Unbelievably the Kineo, the e-consultancy that interviewed me just the other day, have actually posted the interview online. Frankly I'm stunned, genuinely. After I had finished the interview I thought how much I had rambled on, wandered off topic and not to mention the amount of things I thought of...

I'm sitting here taking a well deserved break from film writing and site marketing, things I've been doing manically for the past week and a half, and enjoying a nice Balvenie. It's not just to take a break from Filmstalker mind you, it's also to recover from being interviewed on...

At work I'm an e-learning Technical Consultant, if no one had guessed. I'm being bundled into learning Technical Consultant, but that's just semantics. The e part of the e-learning means electronic, and that relates to any learning based on some form of technology, so that's pretty much covering all the...

What are you doing right now? You're learning. You're reading my Blog and learning something. Okay I won't vouch for the educational effectiveness or the quality of the content you're learning from, but you're still reading about me and my views. That's learning isn't it? That can so easily be...

For the past year I've been hard at work on a document called the Standards for development of e-learning. These are intended to be given to our preferred e-learning Suppliers, or to any e-learning Supplier for that matter, and allow them to create a piece of e-learning which will not...

I've read a lot about Learning Management Systems, or LMS's, of late, mainly to do with the implementation of a leading LMS system within our workplace and my addition to the project team. What has become apparent is the divide between technology and learning, and that although the divide is...
