e-Learning Authoring Conference 2010 Resources

The twelfth year of this conference was one of the best. We moved to a new building on campus, had lots of great sessions and discussions, played some raging "Rock Band," added new instructional design content, and much more. Developers from across the country as well as Canada previewed ToolBook 10.5, learned Flex and Flash Builder, delved into ActionScript 3, explored how to use Captivate and Acrobat, understood Programming for e-Learning Developers in ToolBook, Flash/Flex, JavaScript, and Silverlight, learned how to create ToolBook lessons, discovered when to use media appropriately, picked up some management tips, met fellow members of the ToolBook List, and much more. Here are some comments:

  • I had a great experience and got acquainted with skilled specialists with great knowledge in e-Learning. We are planning to attend the future e-learning Conferences as often as possible. Thank you very much again.
  • It was a terrific conference---what else would it be; you do such a good job every year. So THANKS for another year well done.
  • I just wanted to thank you, again, for a great conference. It was so nice to meet everyone and pick up new information and tips. I hope to go again next year!
  • Fantastic value! The biggest bang for the buck anywhere.

Here are a few highlights:

Hack Ack
The theme this year was "Rock and Roll." Jeff Rhodes of Platte Canyon and Denny Dedmore of SumTotal Systems did demonstrations as Platte Canyon and SumTotal employees are ineligible. Bill Hurley of American Signature and Mauro Rech of Buckman Labs both drew overwhelming applause and were declared the co-winners by "MC" Peter Hoyt. We had entries in ToolBook (Dedmore and Rech), Captivate (Hurley), WPF (Rhodes), and AIR (Rhodes). Nice job everyone!

Attendee Comments:
  • I liked the inclusion of e-Learning info that was targeted toward generic best practices (not software-specific). Pat's session had great info that will help with future training projects.  (2010)
  • I liked this year's location better than in the past. It made getting around to everything (sessions, breaks, food) easier. The atmosphere also seemed more intimate.  (2010)
  • It was a comfortable environment. I'm glad everything was close together.  (2010)
  • Those of us who have gained so much from this conference need to make sure that it doesn't become the best kept secret in e-Learning.  (2010)
  • I just want to say that this continues to be the best conference for the money. Although attendance is smaller than in previous years, no doubt due to recession cut-backs in travel, the conference has not reduced its impact. I thought last year's was the best ever, and this year's came to the same level.  (2010)
  • We both really liked it being in the Worner center in the one place--that was super convenient!  (2010)
