onehundredfortywords is a blog about instructional design… mostly elearning design and anything I find even peripherally related. It’s also an exercise in brevity. I’ve decided to keep most posts to 140 words or fewer, but I’ve found that all I can really do in 140 words is start the conversation, so please jump in and reply! (This site is also where I experiment with design and web technology, so it changes frequently and without notice.)

Who am I? My name is Judy Unrein, and I make stuff that helps people learn. I try to learn more about my craft every day, and I’ve run across some nifty tools and lots of great design work along the way. I started this blog to talk about my inspirations, tools, pet peeves, methods — everything that goes into a day’s work. I look forward to hearing about yours, too.
