Do You Use Strategic Media? You Should! If you’re creating an elearning module, then one of the biggest decisions you have to make is how you want to present the content.

Outils pour faire des Timeline intéractives Les timelines (frises chronologiques) sont de bons outils de visualisation d’ensemble d’une narration, pour travailler le parcours de chaque personnage d’une histoire, pour écrire différents niveaux de lecture.

Three Ways to Create Mapped Timeline Stories Earlier this week I received an email from a reader who was searching for a good way to have students create mapped timelines. The idea is to have students be able to create timelines whose events are directly matched to locations on maps. Doing this is a good way for students to see correlations between locations and events. Here are three tools that students can use to create mapped timeline stories. MapStory is a free tool for creating mapped displays of data sets. Data sets that are time based, the travels of Genghis Khan for example, can be set to play out in a timeline style on your map.

Edukacja - Rozwój e-learningu zależy od naszej determinacja do nauki - wywiad z Markiem Hylą - e-learningTrends.pl Witam serdecznie Panie Marku. Na wstępie pytanie dotyczące stanu e-learningu w Polsce AD 2011. W wywiadzie dla Pulsu Biznesu powiedział Pan, że od USA dzieli nas 5-7 lat. Jest Pan rynkowym praktykiem. Firmy korzystają z e-szkoleń coraz częściej. Rośnie znaczenie bardzo świeżego trendu - gamifi kacji (grywalizacji) w wielu dziedzinach życia i biznesu. W świecie szkoleń te elementy funkcjonują od dawna… Są nazywane certyfi - katami :) A tak na serio… Wykorzystanie gier i symulacji w szkoleniach jest bardzo silnym trendem.
