>> Editor's note: Great to see so many of you out during our collective travels and webinars last month, from Africa to Florida – and in our new London office of course. All that time travelling gave us plenty of opportunity to prepare for this month’s newsletter, which comes with:
Plenty to read if you’re jetting off for an early summer break this month. Not bringing your laptop away with you? We think that’s a little weird, but you can always check out the mobile version of our site on your preferred device of addiction. See you next time, Stephen
Totara Webinar: 30th June, 2pm UK Kineo Jazz: Saturday 18th June, Brighton Totara European Conference: 28th September, London Join the discussion and start your own: Elearning Professional Group on LinkedIn --------------------------------------------------- 1. Kineo Free Guide: Avoiding the trap of ‘clicky-clicky bling-bling’ All that blings is not e-learning gold. Is it really over 400 years since Shakespeare wrote exactly that? No, it isn’t. But you know that’s what he meant. We pick up the theme this month. Cammy Bean, US VP of e-learning Design has written a new paper for E-learn magazine on the topic of glitz over good design. Part one this month explains how to avoid the bling trap. You can read it here.
2. Anti-Bribery E-learning: Act before the Act Those in the UK will be well aware that the Bribery Act 2010 becomes law on July 1st. Have you figured out how you’ll train your team? We’ve partnered with a leading law firm to develop a focused and effective module to help you do just that. The module is available in Flash or accessible HTML. You can add it to your LMS or it’s available as a hosted service. It’s a simple but effective way to make sure you’re doing the right thing. To find out more about it, contact us.
Since Totara launched at the start of 2011, Kineo, along with the other founding partners Catalyst and Kineo Pacific, have been delighted with the response. Building on the interest we’ve seen, we’re pleased to announce the first European Conference for Totara LMS customers and potential customers on 28th September 2011 in London.
We had a great time catching up with people at ASTD last month in Florida. It was interesting to see a few new tools, and updates to current ones on the market. We did a runaround to bring you some highlights. In the next few months we’ll review them in more depth and share our views, but here are some tasters. At last month’s ASTD we spent some time with Michael Allen and his team, which is always fun. His session at ASTD spelled out why you shouldn’t let your left brain drive. We share some insights in this top tip. Ambient Insight always generates interesting reports. The latest report, on how the self paced e-learning market is showing signs of slowing down, is of interest to all of us in the industry – need to keep an eye on that, not that we can see much slowdown from here… Read the report here. We were too busy to attend the Learning & Skills Group event this week, but just to prove how keen we were to follow the action we decided to do a review via Twitter. We have also provided our top ten tips for those of you tweeting from an event, since most of us spend as much time tweeting from events as we do participating in them. Read our collective retweeting here.
London. Jazz. You can put ‘swinging’ in front of both. And Kineo, of course.
