Our Technology Blog

Welcome to our technology blog! I hope you will use this blog to share new and interesting educational technology topics with us. 


After you finish your Instructional Handout, you will be working on the creation of an interactive learning object. This project will be created using advanced features of PowerPoint. While many people regularly use PowerPoint to create standard linear presentations, few are aware of the robust features that available for interactive content creation. These features enable you to build instructional animations, insert videos, branch to a slide depending on user response, test learner knowledge and provide feedback. 


A good place to get some assistance with projects of this type is The Rapid E-Learning Blog.  This blog, which is provided by Articulate (the maker of  e-learning software), provides tips and tricks for creating e-learning programs. Some of the blog posts address how to use different elements like text and images in e-learning, while others focus on how to use specific applications - like PowerPoint - to create e-learning programs. This particular post provides more than 30 PowerPoint tips from PowerPoint pros! Also, on Articulate's website, you will find the E-Learning Heroes blog. Here, you can see examples of e-learning projects, and step-by-step tutorials on how to create projects (mostly in Articulate).
