There are several people I follow in the learning and development world. I hope listing their blogs or websites here will help you as well.

Tom Kuhlmann The Rapid eLearning Blog A must for Articulate users but of benefit to anyone who wants to know more about eLearning and design. Did I mention Tom is a PowerPoint guru?

Cathy Moore's Blog has a lot of great ideas. She may be best known for Action Mapping and Scenario Design.

Should Narrative Be a Part of EVERY Corporate Learning Program?

Imagine that you’re asked to create a training program/job aid to address quality control issues within your organization. You could start with flow charts, statistics, and time studies… OR you can create a Quest. Now every problem becomes a challenge to overcome, a mystery to be solved. The focus is on the goal and if the team works together and makes the necessary sacrifices – everyone will be able to achieve that goal.
