How to present a webinar without PowerPoint slides


With hundreds of millions of copies in circulation and approximately 40 million presentations delivered daily, PowerPoint has become an icon of modern communication. Despite its ubiquity, PowerPoint has often been the punching bag for many audiences who link it to phrases such as crutch, teleprompter, uniformity…overall an intellectually shady tool that instead of lifting the floor, lowers the ceiling. While PowerPoint can have its merits and a profound impact on how information is processed and learned, there is wisdom in asking the question: can we present without it? Virtually? And if we can, what techniques do we use to adjust to the absence of slides, and satisfy our audiences who are typically tough viewers with high expectations?
In this highly engaging session, Dr. Carmen Taran will show you how you can present virtually without slides. You will learn several practical techniques that move beyond keeping an audience engaged with chat and polling questions. The techniques will involve innovative activities that attract an audience's attention, promote creative thinking and intellectual stimulation, and overall make them feel like the floor has been lifted.

Build Branched E-Learning Scenarios in Three Simple Steps






I’ve built hundreds of rapid elearning courses and I can tell you that building branched scenarios with your rapid elearning tools is not only possible, but it’s actually pretty easy to do.  I added some tutorials at the bottom of the page that shows you how to do so.

I like to keep things simple.  So I use what I call, the “3C” model.  Each scenario consists of a challenge, some choices, and then consequences of those choices.  That’s basically it.

What new in ToolBook 11



As a busy professional, you require a fast and easy solution for creating learning content. ToolBook, the SumTotal solution for creating interactive content, quizzes, assessments, and software simulations, has now been enhanced for even greater ease in creating rich, interactive, and mobile content quickly
New feature highlights found in ToolBook 11 include:

Simpler, more functional startup dialog
The Startup Dialog has been redesigned to have a more modern look, which also provides for a better process flow for a user trying to start a new book. The Help Resources section has been filled with over a dozen helpful resources to assist you in using ToolBook

Question Wizard
A new catalog object labeled "Question Wizard" has been added to the catalog within the Questions category. When added to your page, this new object will step you through options available for configuring one of the following four question types: Multiple Choice, True/False, Fill in the Blank and Match Item. These four represent the most commonly used question types.

Additional SmartStyles
SmartStyles is a feature that makes it easy to apply a consistent look and style to pages and objects in a book. ToolBook 11 introduces 39 additional SmartStyles including 16 which are specifically designed for mobile device delivery.

Arrows (Clipart) Catalog Category
A new catalog category has been added to ToolBook 11 which provides access to 192 different graphical arrows. These are PNG images with full alpha channel support, which means they will perfectly overlay any other page elements used and are resizable as well.

Google Chrome 5
The Publish to Web feature of ToolBook has been enhanced to now offer support for Chrome 5+ browsers

BlackBerry 6+
The Publish to Web feature of ToolBook has been enhanced to now offer support for BlackBerry 6+ mobile devices.

Randomization Enhancements
The ability to randomize the order of questions displayed to a user has existed in ToolBook for some time as a feature that you can turn on using the Behavior tab of the Properties for Lesson dialog. ToolBook 11 introduces two new features to this dialog, an option to Validate if the book is properly set up for randomization, and a Configure option to allow you exclude certain pages from the randomization

Delete Unused Resources
This new feature will delete from your book, resources that are no longer actively being used by any objects within your book.

Export All Text
This utility will create a text file containing all of the text found within the book. This is useful when a third party will need to proofread or grammar check the contents of your lesson.
Add Feature to Delete Unused Extensions
This new will delete from your book, Extensions that are no longer actively being used.

Move a Range of Pages
The Book Explorer will allow you to reorder your pages by permitting you to drag a page to a new position within the Book Explorer. However this only works for a single page at a time. For ToolBook 11, the ability to move a range of pages has been added.

Reassign a Range of Pages
The Book Explorer will allow you to reassign which background is used by a given page by dragging the page onto another background, as listed in the Book Explorer. However this only works for a single page at a time. For ToolBook 11, the ability to move a range of pages has to another background has been added.

Enhanced Draw Objects
Draw objects (lines, polygons, rectangles, etc.) have been enhanced to now render with antiAliasing. This effect provides for a much cleaner edge to the draw object. Additionally, transparency of Draw Objects have been updated to blend transparent colors more realistically. Lastly, transparent Draw Objects are now fully supported in a DHTML Exported lesson, whereas in previous version the transparency effect would be lost when viewed in a browser.
