Lectora User Conference 2005
I just returned from the Lectora User Conference in Orlando, FL. Lectora is an easy-to-use eLearning tool developed by Trivantis. (In the interest of full disclosure, Trivantis is one of my current clients and past employers). The conference didn’t focus so much on the software as the ways one could apply the software. There were sessions on the development process (from storyboard to standardization and production) as well as how to move your organization to an eLearning platform. The keynote speaker, Neil Lasher, is head of Britain’s Trainer1. As far as Instructional Design goes, the man knows his stuff. I was incredibly impressed with his presentation. Trainer1 has developed a product called Context Sensitive Learning (CSL). CSL takes context-sensitive help one step further. The product senses where you are in a program and at the click of a button will launch an associated eLearning course to teach you that product. Whereas context sensitive help only guides you step-by-step through a process, CSL gives you the ability to interactively teach a student not only the process, but the why behind a process. It’s intuitive and impressive. CSL applies lean manufacturing techniques to the world of eLearning (it’s about time I say) and effectively delivers just-in-time learning to the desktop.
