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 learned a lot and received a lot of resource information too. It's nice to meet people I can circle back around to for help as well.  (2010)
  • This year's conference was in a new location, the same building as the cafeteria. No more 3 flights of steps and classrooms spread all over. Everything was compact, intimate, and took very little effort to get around. When it was raining, we were dry. When it was hot - we were cool. Couldn't ask for more.  (2010)
  • The conference has evolved away from a ToolBook-only venue and there were three top-notch Flash Developers, a Captivate Developer, several sessions on Instructional Design concepts, and the great one - Denny Dedmore from SumTotal.  (2010)
  • We both really liked it being in the Worner center in the one place--that was super convenient!  (2010)
  • Thanks for another terrific conference, Jeff!!!  (2010)
