Hi everyone - just want to make sure we're on for tomorrow. If you haven't been to my office before, it's in View Royal, about 10 minutes from downtown Victoria - email me if you need more detailed directions.
I'm afraid the meeting was not well-attended, in other words it was just me and Holly (thankfully she didn't make the trip, but was dialed in instead). I hope no one is on their way here, because I'm calling it a day. It was nice to talk to you Holly, and I hope to catch up with the rest of you again soon.
I would love to see everyone - I wonder if a downtown location is easier for people. I don't mind hosting at my office, but the last couple meetings were a bust, so I wonder if it's just too out of the way.
Hi Kima, we'll try to figure something out. We're interested in doing a workshop in both Van & Victoria... Personally, I love the Network Hub in New West... would make a great location.
Question: Any specific problems or challenges you would like covered? From ID to Storyline?
I'll be presenting at the Articulate Roadshow this week so I put together an article detailing the design tips I'll be covering and the demo we'll go over.
It's worth a read if you're a keener and want the jump on my topic :)
If you're not going, the article is still loaded with e-learning design tips.
I have a colleague that needs an Instructional Designer for a full-time contract, mid-Jan to March for the development of Navy Diving Training. That's all I know. This is a quick ask b/c he's looking for a response asap. If you have some capacity. Send me a quick note and I'll pass it on to my colleague. Cheers.
We're kinda on the same path here. It's a lot of $$$ for a lot of things we don't really need. I can appreciate the 'increased' functionality, but is the juice worth the squeeze?
Yesterday, two of us at BC Pensions (here in Victoria) sat in a seminar featuring the genial and helpful Kevin Thorn. As an unexpected fringe benefit, we were able to connect with Pat Giommi, who reminded me that this group exists.
So this is me waving to island-centric contacts (hi, Holly!).
Regarding SL 3 / 360: We acquired SL 2 some time ago. We don't make extensive use of it yet, but there's lots of potential.
We've just gone through a reorganization, and my 3 fellow curriculum developers and I are now reporting to our Employee Services (HR) function. So among other things I've summarized the options and tradeoffs as I see them (meaning, as a person who doesn't have budget responsibilities).
My hunch is that we'll stick with SL 2 for a while. I'm not sure we'd make extensive use of the add-ons in the 360 suite, much as I might enjoy some of them.

That sounds good to me, Holly. I'm always up to learn more about variables. See you then!

Hi e-learning champs!
I'm afraid I won't make it today. I've come down with a case of the man
flu, and it's affecting my ears and balance too :/
I hope you have a great session and I look forward to hearing back about
what you've learned.
Cheers,
Jim
Thanks for letting us know, Jim. I hope your man flu passes quickly! I think there is a doozy going around right now.

Enjoy this beautiful spring day!
I'm glad I had a chance to chat with Terry, and look forward to next meeting. In the meantime, in case you didn't see, there's a Vancouver Roadshow coming up in October http://2016-articulate-vancouver.eventzilla.net/web/event?eventid=2138862315

Hi group - this came my way: http://www.elections.bc.ca/index.php/jobs/elearning-developer-temp-201611/ - thought I'd share it in case anyone is interested or knows someone who is interested/available.
Summer has been busy for me, if there's interest in organizing anything for later in Sept, I could come to the "big island" for a visit!
Wow. That's the third e-learning developer they've got through since last November....
It'd be nice to see you again Holly, and the rest of the gang :)

Any suggestions?
Hi Everyone.
I'm curious to know how people in the Victoria area would be interested in an Articulate/E-learning Strategy Workshop?
It would be on E-learning Scenario Design. Using my Broken Co-worker as a model. Reverse engineer the design, strategy, and answer your questions.
My partner, Anna, and I are VERY interested in doing a workshop; and sharing our experience.
Anna has discussed Broken Co-worker on YouTube here (if you're not familiar): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_yoN3e9p5o
However, we want to dive deeper into the creative work and steps involved.
We'd be coming in from Tofino to do this, so it's important to gauge interest.
Cheers!
Ryan
If I could teleconference, count me in!

Hello Gang,
Quick survey... What is the minimum font size you are using for your elearning projects?
Hi Pat!
I've been going big and juicy with my typography after building this model https://elearnerengaged.com/primer/ (based on a Google design).
For a corporate project I'm working on this very minute for ABB, I have regular "scenario" copy set at
Then activities go even bigger, 32pt (very similar to the model above).
Early tests of this design were very positive.
But as a general rule: Try not to go below 14pt.
If you want to Skype and look at how we're applying that model to client work, let me know. My email is ryan@elearnerengaged.com

Hi Ryan,
Sorry for the delay in replying, I was away.
I've a new project about to start, so I'll definitely keep your question in mind as I ease into it.
Cheers...Kima
Thanks, Ryan. I appreciate the info.

Hello All,
I've been out of the loop for a while, but back at it.
Won't be going to Articulate Roadshow this year, but a colleague of mine will be attending. Her name is Sheena, so say hello if you bump into her.
What is everyone thinking about the next get together (post Roadshow)?
I may be able to secure office/meeting space after 4:00 pm, if people are interested in meeting near the Royal Jubilee?
Have fun at the Roadshow. Learn lots and learn hard!
Cheers,

Hello All,
Long time, no see.
Just wanting to know if anyone has 'upgraded' to SL3 or Articulate 360?
If so, what are your thoughts?
Thanks,
P@
Hi Pat,
(and Happy Thanksgiving everyone!)
I have not updated because I'm not wowed by any of the new functionality, and there are too many old bugs that are not fixed by the new versions.
I'd love to hear from someone who has upgraded, and what are the pros and cons of doing so.
Terry
Hi Terry,
Good to hear from you. I trust all is well.
We're kinda on the same path here. It's a lot of $$$ for a lot of things we don't really need. I can appreciate the 'increased' functionality, but is the juice worth the squeeze?
I'm anxious to hear what others have to say too.
Cheers,

Hi all,
I'm on he same page as you guys - the little I've seen, I haven't been
convinced the ROI is there for me.
Cheers,
