E-Learning Resources – more of them!
I came across this list of free ebooks on elearning the other day. It is still difficult at times to come to grips with how much stuff (information, knowledge, advice) people give away on the Internet. I know that I do it and that is really just for fun. It doesn’t take me long to…

iPAD’s are great!
I am obviously a big fan of the iPad. I wish I had one of these when I was in school. My wife, who is not a huge tech user loves it as well. She likes the way you can just flick it on and check something. Of course there are also lots of apps,…

Trial and Error Training
This is one of the most straight forward common sense video’s I have seen but very applicable to trainers. I have been delivering a lot of project management training over the last few months and it dawned on me after watching this video that I had been telling potential project managers that they really need…

The next Training Tips 56 video has been released. You can find it at all the usual locations or watch it below. This is the follow up to the Great Introductions video. I have placed that below in case you haven’t seen it. There is obviously a lot that goes on between the introduction and…

Web conferencing for Free
Unfortunately DimDim, which was great web conferencing tool, was sold quite a while ago now and ended a good run for free web conferences for trainers. There is another good alternative out there. I have played around with this one and it has worked well for me. The name, AnyMeeting. Try it our and let…

PowerPoint Extras
You can read all of the articles and posts about the dangers and evils of PowerPoint but it is still a very good tool for the trainer. Of course it should be used professionally and sparingly. I have embedded a video I made a while ago on the use of PowerPoint. The look of PowerPoint…
