• Here’s Why Slide Count is Irrelevant to Your E-Learning Course » The Rapid eLearning Blog

  I get a lot of questions about number of slides or screen count per hour of instruction.  My answer is that screen count is usually irrelevant.  Let me explain.
  
  First, to the elearner screen count means nothing.  For example, I can make ten points on a single screen or have ten screens, each with a single point.  The time it takes to get through each point may be the same.  More screens don’t make it longer and fewer screens don’t make it shorter.

• CanadianTechEd: Tools for using YouTube safely in class!

  For me, YouTube has become one of the first places I look to get a great "hook" to get my students attention at the beginning of a new unit (and throughout). When I'm in the drivers seat, I can control what my students see.  However,  more and more my students are driving and this year I am offering an online course to my students,  therefore, I have been paying a lot more attention to the content on YouTube.
