21st Annual Distance & Learning Conference

On August 3, 2005, Dr. Golding and this author presented a workshop entitled, "Visual objects in a visual society - Creating a hook"at the 21st Annual Distance Teaching and Learning Conference in Madison, Wisconsin. Joanne covered the approach to writing a learning objective for a learning object and Camstudio. I covered the Lectora section of it and had them use the avi file that they created in the Camstudio section. I truly wish some of these conferences were earlier in the summer. This late in August makes it hard to go back and try new things.

I also enjoyed attending several of the sessions. I picked up some great ideas form "Dying to learn: Instructional design and MMORPGs." I also enjoyed the "Creating and using learning objexts with open source tools." Even writing about it makes me want to pull out the bag and try some things!

More about this later.
