Guru Eve: How are you spending your day?

Jun 30, 2015

Now that your entries are nestled all snug on our servers, I'm curious how you're feeling about your projects. Are you relieved it's over? Did you need a little more time? What's going through your e-learning minds right now?

How are you spending your guru eve?

I've been busily making Guru nog and singing Guru carols. Enjoying the anticipation of seeing what everyone has done.

Watch that Guru nog, Jackie! You'll have visions of Guru Past dancing in your head.

Hi David

I think I got most of what I wanted in there. I spent lots of time tweaking the experience and UI, I think you will always have what ifs and changes you would make, but this is the best I could do in the allotted time. Funnily enough for the last two Guru's this was not what I intended to do (I want to do sun safety course) so maybe one day I will do what I intended.

I had to submit to stop me tweaking it, it is a more real world challenge with a set delivery date, I am now catching up on work and forgetting I ever built it.

Overall though I had fun!

Well it looks suspiciously like coffee, so no worries. :)

The tweaking has to be the toughest part. I miss that kind of anxiety.

That's funny you've wanted to do a safety course. It's the Guru course you never built as a child.

I'm lighting up the BBQ and will be buying myself a little Dram tonight!

I'm happy and honored to have participated really. Several years ago I looked in awe at the Guru contenders and now I am one myself! I've submitted a Studio and Storyline entry and as I need to build after hours spend a good few late evenings putting it all together.

I'm impressed with some of the submissions I've already been shown and excited to see more of them.

Good luck to All contenders. You're all winners in my book!

Coffee = Guru nog! I love it!

You should have submitted under a pseudonym. I am sweltering in the heat as it is 32.5 degrees (not sure in old money)

Tweaking was fun, I hate testing anything.

I am sure my sun safety course will happen one day.

That's a really great way to measure one's growth and progress, Jeff.

I'm afraid my best guru days are behind me, Phil. Today it's more about helping the new generation of Gurus.

yep, Dying in 31 degrees too

That sounds really sad, it is like one of my heroes has just died :-)

Jackie, have you got something to share? Or do we have to wait until final call?

almost 9 years ago06/30/15 at 1:27 pm (UTC)

I never commented on your first one Jeff, I saw it when you first posted and never realised it was a Studio project great job fooled me.

Don't get me wrong, I still have plenty of E-Learning Miyagi in me. I just have to use sparingly, otherwise I really feel it in the morning.

That's the main reason I submitted it. It's something I'd put togheter in a ELHChallenge. Best Studio project I've ever done and it shows that there's more to Studio than meets the eye.
