9th-anniversary The number ‘9’ symbolizes harmony; it represents the inspiration and the perfection of ideas. We couldn’t agree more. Our 9 year journey (we celebrated our anniversary yesterday) is a picture of these and many more qualities.

So this time around when we, the Marketing team, sat down to brainstorm on the possible ways to commemorate this beautiful journey, we knew exactly what we wanted to highlight – the values and qualities that personify Upside Learning. And what better way than to leverage the latest web designing technology – Parallax Scrolling?

‘Designing eLearning for iPads’ – Webinar Recording and Q&A Early this month we ran two webinars on “Designing eLearning for iPads (tablet)”. A big thank you to all of you who were able to join us! We hope you enjoyed it and found it useful.

The questions came thick and fast during the webinars, and while we managed to answer most of them, we ran out of time (and space) to answer all, as much as we would have liked to. So we have compiled all your questions and our answers for you right here. And if you still have some more, mail us (at info@upsidelearning.com) or post them into the comment box at the end of this post.

Algorithmically Generated Content In Learning

Abhijit Kadle | eLearning | 494 Views | November 22, 2012 | 1 comment

Recently I read an article in Forbes about using algorithmically generated articles in publications. That was quite amazing, and set me thinking about the possibilities such technology would bring to learning. For years, learning/training as revolved around the generation of ‘content’, in fact for a number of years learning was all about content and methods to deliver it to learners. The internet and the profusion of user-generated content has changed that, so much content, and so many methods to deliver it. This profusion serves very little purpose for learning unless ‘sense’ can be made of it. Algorithms enter the picture at this point, they are already playing significant roles in our lives, some very apparent, others not so much. It doesn’t take much of a stretch of imagination to put algorithms, user-generated content and the hundreds of millions of social connections that exist to use together to actually ‘create’ content.

Converting ELearning To Tablet Learning: Cost-effective Solutions

Converting ELearning To Tablet Learning: Cost-effective Solutions More and more organizations with eLearning programs in place are feeling the need to move towards mLearning, and we believe that Tablet Learning can be a smooth and easy way to initiate this shift. In many cases, though, Tablet Learning is considered a form of mLearning, and there is often a degree of hesitation to make the switch, perhaps brought on by typical myths associated with Mobile Learning. Tablet Learning, however, can be viewed as a separate category that serves as an effective stepping stone in the transition from eLearning to mLearning.

eLearning In Saudi Arabia The Saudi Government remains the major contributor to the development of the country’s higher education infrastructure and is continuously raising the budget to be spent on the education sector. This in turn has lead to the growth of eLearning across enterprises and educational institutions in the Arab World.
Also contributing to this expansion is the acceptance of eLearning by a large number of employees and students, and more importantly because of the following drivers in elearning industry:

Everything You Thought You Knew About Learning is Wrong

elearning Admit it, didn’t the title of this post catch your eye? Coming back from vacation and digging into my feeds I found this interesting article from Wired – Everything You Thought You Knew About Learning is Wrong. While the title makes a sweeping statement, I found that’s not what the article is really about. Perhaps the reporter needed to relearn a thing or two and forget a few too. As an instructional designer, there is a lot of common sense in this article that I directly apply to creating learning solutions. However, there are two really interesting points that caught my attention and linked back to some ideas I had written about before (you can read those here and here).
