Guest Blogging on ASTD’s Learning Circuits Blog This Month!

Just to let you know, I’m guest blogging on Learning Circuits in December… mostly about HTML5 (continuing my T+D article on authoring tools) and sneak-peeks at TechKnowledge 2012. So far it’s been really nice to stretch my legs a bit and do some longer posts, so I invite you to mosey over there when you feel like taking off your coat and staying awhile.

I’ll still keep up here now and then, and I’ll link up all posts below…

Dec 7: What Do We Mean When We Say HTML5?

Dec 14: HTML5–What’s the Urgency?

Dec 23: Gearing Up for a Laptop-Free TechKnowledge 2012

Dec 30: Looking Forward to TechKnowledge 2012!

Promising Tools for HTML5 Development

Cover of T+D Magazine for October 2011I’m pleased to share that I have an article in this month’s T+D: Promising Tools for HTML5 Development. (Click on the New Tools for Mobile Learning title on the cover; though that’s not the primary focus of the article, this has not yet been edited on the cover.)

Update: Regular PDF version here.

In the article, I look at two “mature” tools that have been on the market for years — decades, even — and two that are brand-new. Lectora and ToolBook are the ones you may already have, and Claro and mLearning Studio are two new ones that you may want to consider if you’re interested in developing for HTML5 delivery. I’ll be continuing to develop this topic at DevLearn in a couple of weeks, on Learning Circuits in December, and beyond… so as always, let me know if you know of new tools that come onto the scene.

Thinking Outside the Toolbox

I am pleased to share that I have an article in today’s Learning Solutions Magazine.

It’s called Thinking Outside the Toolbox, and it’s been simmering for a couple of years as I’ve watched my own thought processes and had conversations with many others in our industry about our tools and how they relate to what we design and create. This line of thinking was also the basis for the Morning Buzz session I facilitated at the Learning Solutions conference.

I encourage you to add your thoughts. Enjoy!
