As Brandon Hall calls for entries for 2009 awards, it lists examples of last year's winners of their site. You can view all examples on their site. In this post I review the best innovation in learning technology.
Best innovation in learning technology
This example presents an interesting authoring tool. I have seen and worked on similar tools, including those in my organizations. What I really liked was the simplicity of the interface of RapidIntake's Unison tool. Some cool features are automatic conversion of media formats into Internet friendly format (mp3, Flash video, jpg etc.), tags for media assets, chat with others who might be working on the same course. They have clever SaaS pricing models too. For example you get source files for your course only if you are a Pro member.
Of course, there is more to building an elearning course, especially if you are a vendor for custom content. The customer will always want something else and there is much work to be done in building assets outside a tool like this one. Notwithstanding this, I really like this product.
Note to self: Thought innovation in learning technology category was about LMS or something like that. Need to volunteer to be a judge in this category too.

The BUZZ thing
Anamika Biswas in her blog writes about creating the BUZZ thing in our products. Two things that caught my eye in what she wrote. One we need to be able to create a buzz in our products that leads to customer delight. The objective is to come up with valuable ideas in design of the product that has the customer talking about it. The second is the fact that we should not let side shows distract us from creating a good design. As TOI defines it, side shows are competitive rivalry, market one up-man-ship, and readership claims etc. The nature of instructional design projects is such that many practices collaborate in developing a product. It is important that we do not get distracted by side shows and stay focused on creating the buzz thing in our products.
