The average person visits a website for 48 seconds, but if it has video we stay for almost six minutes. Video is powerful. We live in a YouTube age where people want their content to move and breathe.
This could easily apply to e-learning, blogs and other websites. Nice how-to article!

Among them is the German backpfeifengesicht, “a face badly in need of a fist”
With single-sourcing and translation services in higher demand than ever before, this makes a very good point. Translation software can still be "flawed" because of nuances as described here. This is why human intervention and truly careful technical writing needs to be done to provide consistency. Technical writers can be more aware of trying to use more consistent, neutral language to avoid misinterpretations in English, let alone any other language.
I’ve experienced this myself in my personal life. My husband’s first language is Spanish, so sometimes he’ll use a Spanish word to describe something, and it doesn’t have an English equivalent. My favorite is "tofito", which the closest word we could come up with was "funky" or "rancid" as in cooked chicken or pork that have more of that bad chicken or bad pork taste. If we don’t like the taste because it taste too "chicken-y", then we say it’s "tofito". (Hopefully I spelled the Spanish word right–I think I did.)
Great article.

One great way for instructional designers to create effective learning material is to include screenshots and videos in their e-learning modules. Many programs have this feature build in (i.e. Adobe Captivate and the new Articulate Storyline), but some prefer a third party program…
As found in one of my LinkedIn groups….As a former student, I know how hard it can be to get premium tools and learn. Or, for that matter, be an employee with a limited budget alloted to my cost center. Either way, this looks like a viable alternative to Camtasia Studio. Definitely worth a try.

When I first read this article, I thought, "This is EXCELLENT! This is truly what mobile strategy is all about." Once I saw that @VisualRinse (aka Chad Udell) wrote the article, I realized, "No wonder this was so good!" Chad wrote the book, "Learning Everywhere", last year, and it’s great reading. So, he knows what he’s talking about!
This article isn’t specifically for e-learning/m-learning either. It truly puts into perspective what mobile is truly about and the criteria that companies need to move forward in thinking about creating mobile content.
