The hosting provider of eCube has informed me that they are going out of business and will shut down operations by 31 Dec 2009. I need to move this blog to a new hosting provider if I want to continue with this blog. Not sure if I will. eCube was meant to be a team blog and it has served its purpose. eCube will shut down after December this year... unless someone volunteers to run this blog.
PS: I am allowed to change my mind. December is still far away.

What is One Hour of eLearning?
Karl Kapp provides a great resource for measuring how long does it take to create one hour of elearning content. It is the ultimate question about elearning development.
Karl's post comes at an opportune time when I as part of a task force trying to determine exactly this, across different types of elearning content. At this time we are stuck trying to demystify what is one hour of elearning content and the various levels/types of elearning content.
Would love to hear from you what you consider one hour of elearning, what are the different levels of elearning and how do you classify them.

Unofficial eLearning Salary Survey 2009
Launching the Unofficial Salary Survey for eLearning / Content Development Jobs in India for year 2009. There's nothing official about this survey. The survey is not based on responses by companies but based on responses provided by you, the employee. This survey is not associated with any organization. The survey is anonymous.
This survey is for you if you are an Instructional Designer, Project Manager, Graphics designer, Flash Programmer, Tester, Editor, Trainer, SME, or any other role involved in developing elearning or any other form of training content in India. This year I also attempt to find out how the economic conditions have impacted the salary hikes this year?
Visit Learn and Lead participate in the survey. Answer a few simple questions. I will publish the findings on Learn and Lead and here sometime in August.
