eLearning & PowerPoint: A Great FREE Resource. By AJ George I've talked a lot about where to get free stock photos, about how to manipulate stock photos, and tips for creating your own graphics. Somehow, in the midst of all that, I remained in the dark about what is probably the best free resource I've come across in a while. When tasked with constructing eLearning on a limited budget and a limited time frame, you may be forced to take a linear approach to your navigation. This is often seen as a less effective way to present learning, but it doesn't have to be. This could prove quite labor intensive. This slide above took less than five minutes to build. You could also ditch the comic idea altogether and just use these images as part of any eLearning course, even one with branching. Easy, fast, looks nice, FREE.

Several professionals involved in the e-Learning industry asked me to provide them a set of resources around the evaluation in e-Learning.Evaluation enables us to:determine the quality, effectiveness, and continuous improvement of the e-Learning,understand the pros and cons of the e-Learning courses or programs, andmake improvements. This post is the first of a series of posts concerning evaluation in e-Learning and I will focus on the introduction to evaluation in e-Learning. The most people believe that evaluation occurs after e-Learning has been completed.
Wrong! Evaluation occurs: Before the e-Learning (needs assessment) to plan e-LearningDuring the e-Learning (formative evaluation) to make improvements, andAfter the e-Learning (summative evaluation) to determine outcomes.
