\"watering-can-1416169\"This assignment presented an opportunity to evaluate a Learning Management System (LMS) for me from an instructor’s point of view rather than as a student.\u00a0 Eliademy really opened my eyes to what is available out there for instructors to use right now. The current trend at my work is to push for rapid e-learning development or end-to-end development where one person can do the job of the instructional designer, the courseware developer, and the graphic designer and I can see Eliademy taking a strong step in that direction.\u00a0 Yes, there are limitations to such easy-to-use plug-and-play LMS like Eliademy, but it is really a fantastic option to allow for any company that doesn’t have the budget to hire an instructional designer to still enjoy the benefits of using e-learning.<\/p>\n

I also enjoyed learning about a not-for-profit such as Growing Schools.\u00a0 I have never focused much on the not-for-profit sector, however, this project reminded me how vital of a role volunteers are, and I was delighted to see how e-learning can make such a huge difference to a great cause!<\/p>\n

My group worked very well together, and I am sad that we won’t be working on our Assignment 2 and 3 together since several of us have vastly different topics in mind.\u00a0 Dominic introduced us to Slack, which turned out to be a fantastic communication medium.\u00a0 It really cut down on the emails we go and the conversation was quick and flowed well.\u00a0 I can see myself using it for future work or school projects!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
