Catching up on a few comments-
Brent, yes seeing the new Rapid Intake offering was worth it. I’ve been looking more at the beta version and will blog about it when I can.

I’m planning on attending the eLearning Guild Annual Gathering this year, so maybe we’ll can catch up there.

Dan, Any conference I’ve paid for has been worth the money, especially to see the names you mentioned. I’m especially impressed with Ruth Clark and Allison Rossett and have attended workshops/session of theirs in the past. eLearning Guild puts on good events, however the vendors did not impress me.

Dinosaur Fact, Thanks! Glad to hear you’re enjoying it. I’m hoping to get more post out soon.

Gary

Stumbled upon your blog a week ago and decided to come back. Not for the articles you write, but for how you write them, really amazing stuff you’re doing here, i like how you put information into the articles which makes it much more easier to read and much more interesting of course. Keep up the good work!

Interesting comments. Thanks for your insight. I made the difficult decision to pay to attend the event. I did get quite a bit out of the sessions. I attended the informal 7am round-table sessions which provided a great opportunity to talk one-on-one with some very bright people. A few sessions made the event worth it for me. Ruth Clark, Allison Rossett (Performance Support) Silke Fleischer, Anne Kwinn, Bryan Chapman, are among the stand-out sessions I attended.

I too was impressed with Mr. Hess. Anything that makes Flash easier and better is interesting to me. Mr. Hess was constantly engaged talking with people, but what time I spent there was well worth it.

I must agree that I didn’t see anything much that struck me as extraordinary new technology.

I do think DevLearn was worth attending. It was a great show and the leaders and staff worked very hard to accomodate and create a great learning experience.
Take care,
Dan

Hi Gary! Sorry you missed all the buzz during the conference. I’m not sure which sessions you looked in on but I can assure you that wasn’t the norm.
The Rapid Intake folks do have a great tool in the works and I”m looking forward to seeing a demo myself. Garin is great at developing killer tools and so I’m certain this new one will hit the sweet spot of elearning development.
I met Rowan and Troy from MediaEdge for the first time at DevLearn as well. They make a GREAT team and have come up with a truly innovative approach to Serious Gaming. I’d say that seeing Garin’s new product and meeting the MediaEdge team was well worth your trip…yes?
Keep up the great blogging! Love it.
Cheers!
Brent
