Another Semester Starts TomorrowJanuary 6

I will be teaching another semester of web development online and doing some virtual team-teaching for another three classes.  For the web development course, I created several online demos using Camtasia Studio 6.  Love that smart focus and pan feature which does a great job of zooming in on key parts of the screen.

For the other three courses, I will be using Tegrity to record PowerPoint presentations on how to create compelling and effective PowerPoints (how self-referential ).  It will be interesting to see how these two tools match-up.

(Two-Hundreth Post!) 2009 is the Year that Training Becomes an Evidence-Based ProfessionJanuary 5

Thank you for reading and for your comments (good and bad).

This seems like a good time for my answer to the Big Question for January 2009:

“What are your Challenges, Plans and Predictions for 2009?”

My answer is both a challenge, plan, and prediction:  To help make training an evidence-based profession so that there is no question about its value in making a difference to people and organizations.

Simple to state but I know it won’t be easy.
