I've conducted training in my previous HR positions, and now I want to learn tools, tips
and techniques for effective e-learning. How do I get started? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
you've made the right choice by becoming part of this community! There is a wealth of information here to get you started in the right direction. If haven't already, I would recommend downloading the free 30 day trials of the various Articulate products. In addition, watch the video tutorials and read the blogs.
I'm not an eLearning expert by any stretch of the imagination and I have managed to create courses that have impressed my Senior Management team. This made possible by simply becoming a member of this community!
Thank you so much for getting back to me. I will do as you advised. Do you have an example of a project you've completed that "wow"ed the management team?

There are so many resources available just inside this site. Some good places to start, at the top of the forums screen check out the Downloads tab. Every resource in there is free and even if you don't have the necessary tool for every file, it can be a great place for inspiration
In that same area you will see a Search box where you can search the forums by keyword. There have been many conversations like this one that have great resources posted.
The blogs are fantastic here. Practical and positive, you can easily disappear into a trail of ideas and resources that leave your head ready to explode with ideas and so excited to get started. At the very top of the screen you will see a link for E-Learnning Blogs. Hover for a drop-down. They are ALL fantastic. If you would like to see great compilations of resources and tutorials, the Word of Mouth Blog compiles community highlights every week. If you haven't already, subscribe to all of the blogs!
Let us know what tools you're working with and we can begin to recommend specific tutorials.
Once again, welcome to the community! I look forward to seeing you around the forums
This is where I started my transistion to eLearning. There is so much information to soak up in this community and by far I have learned more here than anywhere else.
Thank you for the responses. The whole world of e-Learning is new to me so your responses are greatly appreciated. I will look through the resources on the site to get started.

All of my best work is covered by NDA :-(
Hi Marcie- WELCOME! What an exciting transition for you. +1 to Frank's statement about becoming a part of this community.
The Showcase Bruce recommended is fantastic. What rapid development tool are you using - Storyline, Articulate Studio or other?
Another place with great samples is the E-Learning Examples Blog

When you do become occasionally overwhelmed, understand that that's perfectly normal. And we are here to help when you get stuck. No kidding.

One of the things I point people to is the Articulate 101 series of posts. It's a great collection of tips for getting started.

(...except for a few of us knuckleheads who they are gracious enough to let in anyway! )
Best of luck!!!
