I found the E-Learning Heroes from the Articulate Community
(http://community.articulate.com) the most interesting and helpful resource. It
is a website that includes tutorials for building better course content,
answers to top e-learning questions, advice and opinion from industry experts,
and free downloads. The website also features a community of blogs.
It is a good resource
for someone like me who is new to the field of Instructional Design. It gives
me a chance to learn more from those who are currently working in the field. It
also gives experienced Instructional Designers an opportunity to share their
ideas with other working professionals. Being new I also want to network with
those in my field to learn more about the field and new technologies and
enhancements.
Instructional Design and Development Blog is created by Faculty
Instructional Technology Services department at DePaul University. There are a
lot of posts all focusing on ways to improve and enhance instruction through
the use of technology. Here are some example blog post titles “Getting My Tweet
Wet,” “Teaching in Disguise: Are You Game?” and “What Mobile Platforms Could Do
for Higher Education but Aren’t (Yet).”
This resource is a good way for me to learn about new
technologies or ways to enhance my material as I start to work as an
Instructional Designer. There are ways to post comments as well.
The third resource is ideas.blogs.com, which I found in week
1 resource folder under “Supplemental Resources.” This blog focuses on
e-learning strategies and instructional design technology written by a particular
individual (Ferdinand Krauss) versus multiple authors in the previous two resources.
A lot of his posts focus on E-learning which is my focus as
well. It will be helpful to gain insight on new e-learning approaches and
strategies. Additionally, as with all the blogs, you are able to post comments
and ask questions. It gives you an opportunity to contribute and converse with
others to gain a more in depth knowledge.
