eLearning 3.0 blog dedicated to the wonderful world of eLearning technologies and methodolgies. I began the eLearning30.com blog because of the numerous emails i received in response to a post (eLearning 3.0 = “Edutainment”) I made on my this blog.

About the eLearning 3.0 Blog

While the term “eLearning 3.0″ not clearly defined YET the purpose this elearning 3.0 blog is to hopefully shed some light on what it will be and introduce the new methodologies & technologies that will improve the realm of digital learning for both the students and the trainers.

A few of the topics that will be covered in this blog collaborative learning, edutainment, social learning, the history of eLearning, and so much more. We will post interviews with industy leaders, as well as help keep you up-to-date on news and events happening in the eLearning world.

eLearning 3.0 = “Edutainment”

The Problem!
Ok, when most people here eLearning they associate it with boring computerized, voice-over PowerPoint presentations on sexual harassment. Sure its cheap to produce, but who really learns from these training products?

Edutainment

Want a solution?
In the next version of eLearning its going to be more about “edutainment”.

3 Suggestions for eLearning 3.0:

  • Add humor
  • Make the training interactive.
  • Build a training community, so that learning continues after the training is done.

If you need some help with this or want to bounce some ideas off me, you can contact me via email (donaldleegraham-at-gmail.com) or drop me a tweet on Twitter .
