If you are a fan of the Common Craft library of videos like I am, you will LOVE the Cut-out Library.  Cut-outs are digital images like the ones used in the videos.  Use the images in your training programs and presentations.

You can download the images as part of a PowerPoint presentation or zipped file.  You must be a Common Craft member to download the images.  Members can also download the Common Craft videos.

Free Webinar: The Elements of Interactive eLearning

David Anderson,   Community Manager,   Articulate

Wednesday, October 3, 2012 | 10:00AM Pacific Time

Free Webinar, Membership Not Required

This webinar showcases one of the most popular, best-rated sessions from DevLearn 2011 Conference & Expo, newly updated and now available to all through this special online presentation.
It wasn’t too long ago that eLearning designers wanting to build interactive courses were forced to choose between one of two realities: a blissful illusion of interactivity, or the painful truth that interactivity required advanced programming skills. That’s no longer the case because today’s eLearning tools make it easy for anyone to design interactivity.
This session is all about deconstructing the best corporate eLearning, multimedia journalism, and interactive infographics. Participants will learn the three most common types of interactivity and learn creative ways to apply interactivity in their own courses.
In this session, you will learn:
  • The basic elements of interactivity
  • Rapid instructional design models that you can build with any authoring program
  • How to evaluate and design the right interactivity
  • How to reuse interactive widgets and customize them for new clients and projects
