To my fellow Capella - soon to be - graduates:
I will add more to this post in the following weeks as the dust settles and I bask in the great feeling of being done with my Masters. !!!
I completed the Training & Performance Improvement track, it was the perfect combination of depth with high-level macro scope. I was able to develop skills for identifying performance gaps, recommending the best solutions, and evaluating their impact ... (in a nut shell).
In doing some reflection on my integrative project, I am realizing that because I chose to develop an actual program, it allowed me to really focus in on my passion for IDOL, and explore the state of this specific industry. With the rapid advancement of technology combined with the current economy - there is (and will be) a huge rush to leveraging web based solutions. It will be important that we stand our ground and use what we have learned to make sure the RUSH to the online learning is done with responsibility and caution. As we all know e-learning is not a panacea.
I am especially interesting in this whole term and concept of "Rapid-elearning" Is this just an excuse to cut corners to increase volume and lower ID quality?
Enough already, here is my list of bookmarks to share:

I just found these today, they should offer plenty of good inspiration. Most of them are really well-done, but many are riddled with extraneous load distractions:
