2017 ATD TechKnowledge Wrap Up
I just returned from 2017 ATD TechKnowledge. I really enjoy this conference because it focuses on learning and technology which are my two favorite aspects of my job. I’m going to hit the highlights of what I went to (but I probably write way too much anyway). Keynotes: The Fallacy of “Impossible” Mick Ebeling from […]
Articulate 360
I downloaded Articulate 360 about two weeks ago. I haven’t had a lot of time to play with it, but so far I like it. Here are two of the new features that I really liked. I’m looking forward to learning more about it. Dials – Storyline 360 Dials are really cool. It’s just another […]
Aaron Draplin Event
Earlier this year, I joined the Colorado Chapter of AIGA. I’m not a graphic designer but I have an appreciation for it. There is something magical about starting off with a white screen and creating a thing in Illustrator even for the novice. AIGA has a very interesting speaker series. I don’t know what caught my […]
2016 ATD ICE
The ATD International Conference & Exposition (ATD ICE) was held in Denver May 22 to 25, 2016. I was able to volunteer through the ATD Rocky Mountain Chapter. I was a room monitor in the Mile High rooms 4a – 4c on Sunday and the Four Seasons 2c – 3c on Wednesday. Basically my volunteer job […]
Thomas Toth, Learning! Champion
It seems like February 2, 2016 was a long time ago but it was a great day because it was the day I received the email that Thomas Toth, my mentor, earned the 2016 Learning! Champion Award from eLearning! Magazine. We were under a blackout and couldn’t talk about it until May. If you want to learn more about […]
Just Do It
I’ve gotten some interesting feedback lately. “HTML5, why do you want to learn that? You won’t use it here.” “Adobe Captivate 9. We just upgraded to version 8 why do you want to learn version 9? Won’t you get them confused? I don’t think that’s a good idea.” “You’re in a tough situation, you want […]
Peyton Manning & Instructional Design
Was never a big football fan. I moved to Denver in 1998. I spent Super Bowl Sunday 1998 when the Broncos won their second Super Bowl on the Ski Train to Winter Park because the tickets were buy one get one free. And no, I don’t ski. However, there is something magical about this town […]
100 Things Every Designer Needs to Know About People
If you have an amazon.com wish list, make sure you put things you really want in it. This Christmas, I had about a dozen books on my wish list and I got them all. One of them was 100 Things Every Designer Needs to Know About People by Susan Weischenk. Sure it’s almost the end […]
ATD TechKnowledge 2016
I was able to attend ATD TechKnowledge January 13 to 15, 2016. I really enjoy the intersection of technology and learning so this is a fun conference for me to attend. I attended some really great sessions and I’ve come back with a lot of ideas for things I want to work on. Day 1 […]

The Allen Experience
On October 6th, I attended The Allen Experience hosted by Allen Interactions. It was in Denver as part of the Training Magazine Online Learning pre-conference events. Went to a session with Ethan Edwards at ATD ICE this summer and an hour about building better eLearning wasn’t enough so when this was in my backyard I […]
