WAVELENGTH – The ID Newsletter of India – February 2006
****************************************************

Hello Friends,

Welcome to this issue of Wavelength.

It is time we retrieved ourselves from the depths of
turtlenecks and cast away the heavy, restraining woolens
to feel the play of soft-cool wind and warm, benign sun
on our skins. The joy of creation and recreation is what
we wish to experience in this beautiful month. We wish
to chain neither our bodies nor our minds to our desks.
This month, we stop and smell the flowers and review our
lives to make them better! Let us try to find the reason
behind whatever we do, both in our professional and
personal lives as only by knowing why we are doing what
we are will help us make our mark!

We bring to you a conceptual framework to understand
knowledge management from the instructional designer's
perspective, in the Mystery of the Month article for this
month. The article "Knowing Knowledge Management" attempts
to forge an understanding of the concept by reviewing the
need for its existence and exploring the working of the
corresponding systems. It also provides a directional list
of what the learning management technology expects from
the instructional designer.

There has been a long-standing need for eLearning
professionals other than those engaged in instructional
design to express their ideas more emphatically in the
language that our industry uses, which is English.
Wavelength launches the EPCEC course to fulfill this
need.

Effective Professional Communication in English Certificate
-----------------------------------------------------------
(EPCEC) course
-----------------
Indian eLearning industry is an inseparable part of the
international eLearning industry. English is the language
that connects eLearning industry professionals, both
within and outside India. It is important that our bright,
intelligent, and knowledgeable graphic designers and
programmers are able to command the attention of their
peers, management, and client; and guide them towards
better eLearning solutions. Unfortunately, instructional
designers and project managers, who may not be entirely
conversant with media and programming nuances say more and
are heard more. This leads to our not delivering the quality
that we could have otherwise delivered. This also reduces
the overall visibility and growth of the graphic designers
and programmers, despite proved excellence in their own
areas.

Wavelength introduces the Effective Professional
Communication in English Certificate (EPCEC) course
(http://www.vibrantwavelength.com/english_communication_certificate.htm.)
for all those who would like to express themselves in
English with sparkling confidence; who would like to
contribute not just their work but also their ideas; and
who wish to make a difference to themselves and those
around them!

This course is specially structured to meet the needs of
eLearning and IT industry professionals for both oral and
written communication. It follows Wavelength's methodology
and is designed for effective learning. The first course
group for this course begins classes on February 26, 2006.
If you would like to know more about the course or register
for it, click on

If you wish to enroll for the Object-Oriented Development
in ActionScript 2.0 Certificate (OODAC) course, which begins
on February 11, contact us.

Mystery of the Month
***********************

So...were you able to solve the mystery of the missing link
for the MoM article for January? It was missing as I got
carried away with the New Year and Wavelength Anniversary
celebrations; and forgot to include it in the MoM section
of the newsletter. It was there on the site though! So, you
see, I unknowingly managed to introduce more mystery into
the Mystery of the Month!

With apologies, I present the link once again. Please click on
http://www.vibrantwavelength.com/theory_practice.htm to read the
Wavelength article "Instructional Design-Theory OR Practice."

If you've spent sleepless nights wondering how you are
related with this new buzz-word of today...if you've sent
your content for review and it was returned to you with,
check guidelines/remove references to previous topic...and if
you've wondered why should you hack your beautiful symphony
of content into reusable learning objects, then you will
find the MoM article for February, highly useful.

This month, we set out to unveil the mystery that surrounds
the terms: knowledge management, learning management, LMS,
LCMS, RLO, and so on; and attempt to understand them from
the ID viewpoint. Quite often we find ourselves creating
content without understanding how it will be used. The basic
understanding of the working of these tools and how the
learner and the facilitator use them will greatly enhance
your already effective instructional writing.
Click on http://www.vibrantwavelength.com/knowledge_management.htm
to read this article.

After you've read the above Wavelength article, you can build
your understanding further by going through the following articles.

1."Another New Paradigm for Instructional Design" by Reuben
Tozman at http://www.learningcircuits.org/2004/nov2004/tozman.htm.
2."LMS and LCMS: What's the Difference?" by Leonard
Greenberg at http://www.learningcircuits.org/2002/dec2002/greenberg.htm.

Serials: eLearning Project Management: Episode III
****************************************************

Welcome to the third and final episode of the serial
"eLearning Project Management." This episode brings you
links that will increase the effectiveness of this
serial manifold. I hope that this serial will provide an
information base to all green and gray (oops!) project
managers, which will help them improvise the information
in PMBoK to suit the eLearning project requirements.

1. First of all, here's an interesting pdf (which includes
a small case to heighten interest, written in an
instructionally sound manner) that will underline the
dangers of using ISD as the basis of eLearning Project
Management. It brings focus on the special challenges of
ePM and suggests methods for taking control of the project,
in light of the challenges highlighted. Click on
http://www.allencomm.com/download/files/WhitePapers/
eLearningPMWhitePaper.pdf
to download the article "e-Management for e-Learning Projects."
It suggest the model Track>Report>Review>Analyze>Approve
for effectively managing e-Learning Projects.

2. Next click on http://www.trainingplace.com/building.htm
to read the article, "Building a Strategic Plan for
E-Learning." This article covers the complete process of
building a strategic plan in terms of defining deliverables
and determining how to go ahead with ISD. This link also
provides you a list of other links that can help you in
strategy building and planning for your eLearning projects.

3. I hope you found this serial useful. If you would like to
send your views on topic for next serial, email me at

-------------------
ID Concepts
--------------------

1. While designing instruction, there is often the issue
of balancing brevity with clarity. Flowcharts can help
manage this issue to a great extent by providing a common
visual language for all who are involved in the design
process. Click on
http://coe.sdsu.edu/eet/articles/simplesymbols/index.htm to
see how some simple flowchart symbols can reduce the
verbosity of your design. eLearning companies can conduct a
short training to ensure that everyone involved with the
content development process is capable of understanding and
creating these flowcharts.

2. The cognitive load theory never fails to enchant me. We
all know that it becomes difficult to learn new concepts
when there is a lot of noise in the background; or when we
are worried about something. Yet, it isn't that difficult
to understand a new point about something that we know a
lot about. Why does it happen? Does it have some implications
for instructional designers? To find answers to these and
other such questions, click on
http://www.usask.ca/education/coursework/802papers/chipperfield/
to read "Cognitive Load Theory and Instructional Design" by
Brian Chipperfield.

------------------------------
Language & Culture
------------------------------

1. Does culture impact, learning styles? Because if it does,
it becomes important for us recognize the fact that the
content that we create for learners all around the world,
takes into account these learning preferences.
"Diversity, Learning Style and Culture" by Pat Burke Guild
is an article that explores this facet of instructional
design in detail. Click on
http://www.newhorizons.org/strategies/styles/guild.htm to
read this article.

2. "The Torches of Freedom Campaign: Behaviorism, Advertising,
and the Rise of the American Empire" is a thought-provoking
article that brings into focus the mechanics of the
collective mind. On another note, women readers should find
this article enlightening. The Torches of Freedom Campaign
did have something to do with my writing this newsletter and
your reading it, whether or not you smoke! Click on
http://www.culturewars.com/CultureWars/1999/torches.html to
read it.

-----------------------
Writing Style
-----------------------

1. If you feel that you write well and that your grammar is
fantastic, but your editor habitually sends you documents
madly track-changed; click on
http://www.sourceaid.com/reference/pdf/effective-writing.pdf
to download a pdf that lists examples and non-examples of
effective writing. It may make your writing more convincing,
comprehendible (?), easy to read, interesting, and emphatic.
Wow! What more do you want? You are on your way to becoming
the next Dan Brown!

2. Here's a beautifully written, highly readable article
about workplace writing. "Effective Writing For the Workplace"
by Claire E. White at
http://www.writerswrite.com/journal/cew1.htm answers some of
the questions that often come up during business writing.
It's a short article that you can print and read at
your leisure.

Technology Section

------------------------------------------------------
Learning Content Creation Technologies
------------------------------------------------------

1. If your work requires loading dynamic data into Flash,
the article "Loading Dynamic Data into Flash" at
http://www.flash-db.com/Tutorials/loading/loadingData.php?page=1
could guide you through it. This tutorial written in
simple language provides short codelets(?) to assist you
on your quest of dynamic data loading.

2. If you visit the Site of the Month for this month,
you may plan to apply some ActionScript driven filters
in your current projects. If so, you will find
http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/flash/articles/
graphic_effects_guide_03.html
extremely helpful. Certain code examples have been
provided here, which could help you start on your way to
becoming a magnificent "filter-bond!"

--------------------------------------------------------------
Learning Content Management Technologies
--------------------------------------------------------------

1. If you are a technology team leader or project leader,
you must have encountered situations when you are called to
join a client conference and give recommendations on which
LMS the client should use. Click on
http://www.edutools.info/static.jsp?pj=8&page=HOWTO#compare
to compare the characteristics of around 50 learning
management systems, including different versions of
Blackboard and WebCT. I think this gem should go right
into your favorite of favorites list.

2. The new buzzword is VLE or Virtual Learning Environment;
the question is, what it is? Find out by clicking on
http://tecfa.unige.ch/tecfa/publicat/dil-papers-2/Dil.7.5.18.pdf.
You can also click on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Managed_learning_environment
for a threadbare definition of VLE. If you scroll down
this page, you will find a list of facilities that a system
should provide in order to qualify as VLE.

Let us continue on our treasure hunt in this beautiful
month of February, when we find ourselves transported
into the middle earth envisioned by
JRR Tolkien, sans Sauron!

Art Concepts
--------------

http://itchstudios.com/psg/art_tut.htm houses a fantastic
art tutorial by Niklas Jansson. This tutorial introduces
you to the basic vocabulary used in art, and guides you
towards developing your own learning methodology. The
part that I liked the best is "The Onion". It helps you
define a thinking process for art. I've seldom come across
a single page packed with such a huge amount of useful
information. Be the first one to check it out!

If you would like to get information on colors and how
you can use them not just to create effects but also to
ensure that your organization doesn't end up in some
"colorful" lawsuit, you should definitely visit the site
http://www.colormatters.com/. Other than basic information
on colors and how they should be used, this site provides
a good deal of practical tips too.

Graphic Design Concepts
-------------------------

Anime/Manga art! Who doesn't want to create those fresh,
crispy, and colorful characters? If you too have wondered
why our characters should be pudgy and rotund and not
energetic and light-weight, at http://www.polykarbon.com/tutorials/index.htm
you will find the tutorial that you were looking for.
This URL even helps you set up your workspace! Talk
about peripheral learning!

"The Art of Animation" is a detailed article that gives
you some cool "fundas" about web-animation. You may find
the article not very visual but then the content more
than makes up for it. Click on http://www.webreference.com/dlab/9904/
to read this article by Dmitry Kirsanov.

If you have ever designed logos you have experienced the
lingering design process. The client is never as picky
about anything as about the look, feel, and theme of his
company's logo. "Something isn't right about it." is the
feedback that you usually end up with! Well, read
"Logo Design Revisited" by Dmitry Kirsanov at
http://www.webreference.com/dlab/9811/. This article
provides two case studies that succeed in highlighting
the importance of thought behind the logo design process.

Media Technology
------------------------

Just entered the eLearning utopia? Well...well! Want to
learn Flash? Well! Click on
http://www.sitepoint.com/article/flash-101-1-hammer-chisel
to read a simple, bare-bones tutorial on Flash designing.
It begins with Flash tools and functionality, and then
discusses symbols. It then moves to tweening and creation
of effects, followed by basic actions (mouse and keyboard
based) and finally teaches how to integrate audio
files into Flash.

For Flash Fans:
---------------------

For the Flash fans, Wavelength found the site
http://www.sega.com/gamesite/spyfiction/flashmx/flashb.htm.
Check out the loading, the cool rollover effects,
the panels...wow!

For Photoshop Pros:
---------------------------

I am not often drawn towards abstract. My favorite artists
are Leonardo Da Vinci and Raja Ravi Verma; but this gallery
looked so inviting. I had to stop and browse...then browse
some more. Check out David Bishop's gallery at
http://www.theispot.com/artist/bishop/

For 3d Dons:
-----------------

At http://www.h6.dion.ne.jp/~m.mirage/home.html you will
find a fabulous mélange of character and mechanical
modeling. The surrealist 3d digital portraits by
"Almacan" cast a spell as surreal as the artwork!

We couldn't select a Dazzler from the entries of this
month, despite the fantastic quality of some of the
submitted links. Please read the rules before submitting
your link. The link that you submit should lead us to
"your" web page, not a corporate site. Even if you were
the only designer who worked to create that fantastic
effect...you may not submit it for the Dazzler contest. I
am sorry, folks! All those who sent us corporate site
URLs for their work, can send their personal portfolio
URLs and participate again!

Send me the link of your portfolio at
shafali@vibrantwavelength.com. Nevertheless, I would like
to thank all those who sent their URLs, corporate or
otherwise. I shall look forward to your continued
participation.

******************
Site of the Month
******************

Buckle up to enter the site of the Month for February:
http://www.simplyinteractive.net/mainframe.htm

Hey, you are still not secure in your seat...and the plane
is about to land! I am serious...don't let this site
take you off-guard! If you are waiting for me to tell you
what is special about this site, well, here I go...

1. I love the way this site loads. A word of caution: This
site will lap up all your system resources, so make sure
that none of the other memory-guzzling applications are
running when you click on this link. It is also possible
that the site may load slowly if you are on a machine with
RAM less than 256 MB. In such case, I recommend that you
let the site load at its own sweet speed then hit the
Refresh button. It will load quickly the next time.

2. What I was saying was that I love the way this site
loads. It begins slowly, and then builds up into panels
made of frosted glass. The pale blue of the site
complements the glass and the beautifully animated logo
of Simply Interactive at the left.

3. The logo animation is fabulous! If you want to add a
similar effect to the intro animation of your new course,
share this link with your media friends! Who knows
where great things begin! They might throw their keyboards
at you, but then that is entirely between you and them.

4. The way buttons in the left column load is cool! The
loading is smooth, the rollover effects are soft and
supple, and the effect of clicking is...tremendous! An
animated mosaic transitions into a photograph; The effect
is stunning! Checkout all the menu items; each has a
different effect.

5. Checkout the arrow that zooms down from the top left
corner of the text area, hits the bottom corner, and
then returns with the text.

6. Click on the sub-menus to see their cool rollovers.

7. The scroll bars move with a grace that matches the
overall environment.

8. I can't say if the red color panel in the bottom left
corner is in sync with the overall color theme. Some may
say it is not, but I feel that it brings warmth to the
overall snowy-icy feel of the site. I like that dash of
color, which in all probability was added out of sheer
necessity (the panel launches a page in red.)

9. I am sure that all of you would prefer to explore
this beautiful site on your own (Andragogy speaks!) If
you haven't yet clicked on the link, here it is
once again: http://www.simplyinteractive.net/mainframe.htm

Have you heard this...
"Instructional Design is a systematic method of writing
instructions!" I hear it often...and for the same reason I
found http://www.ma.huji.ac.il/~hart/humor/instructions.html
hilarious! I am sure constructivism will ensure many other
interesting interpretations of the instructions listed
here! Check it out!

Teachers will be teachers...and they will be smarter than
students. Right? Well...sometimes! Checkout
http://www.butlerwebs.com/jokes/teachers.htm.
I liked the one about little girls, lipstick, and the
janitor! 'Mirror, mirror, on the wall! Whose lipstick is

Everything on this web page is so true...so real...sniff!
The question, "Dear Mme. Curie: how does radiation work?" is
probably the one that baffles the recipient most. This
question does need a lot of explaining...and it would be

Innoken Online Games
****************************

If you are in love and want to share your feelings with
your sweetheart, play "Be My Valentine" at
http://www.innoken.com/games.htm.
After playing the game, do not forget to click on
Tell-a-Friend button to send a special message to your
loved one.

Innoken's web-stats confirm that many of Wavelength's
elite readers have found it a place to be in! I am glad
you like being there, so do I. After hours of cerebral
gymnastics, a quick recreational swim in soothing
Innoken waters does help.

If you still haven't been to Innoken, do stop over by
