Marketing new education programs is always a fun challenge. In particular we are getting a lot of inquiries about how to market and price new educational programs – especially eLearning products. Before I explain some key philosophies on this, let…

For those of you who subscribe to the Association eLearning blog, you’ve noticed it’s been very quiet for the last year. I’m finally back from some time off and I’m really excited to be re-engaged in the world of eLearning…

Before I take off in my ZIG, or perhaps 757, on vacation tomorrow…
- Congrats to all the CAE candidates on getting through the exam today. You are brave people!
- Thanks to Ed, Rick and Daniel for their posts about the Associations Now cover.
- I’m bummed that I can’t be with my people at the Great Ideas Conference, and I had to back out of the backchannel. You know, it’s just not as much fun when you’re not there.
- Interesting followup posts to the previous entry about email taglines and self-expression from Cindy and Dana.
- I will be signing off the Internets for the next several days. Computer and Moto Q are staying stateside. No blogging, tweeting, poking, podcasting, utterzing, or anything while I’m gone.
Be well; I’ll see you next week! And, bonus points for the first AYBABTU comment!

Here’s a good timewaster for the stressed-out cube dwellers among us: Cubicle Freakout.
Thanks to Anne Taylor-Vaisey, author of Anne T-V’s Blog, for the pointer. (Check out her Friday Fun page for lots more weird and wonderful links). Anne suggests you follow up your Freakout with a listen to the Cubicle Song.
TGIF, everyone!

Here are my Acronym posts for this past weekend, if you are interested, including the one Sabol posted on my behalf on Sunday.
one - arrival in Orlando
two - first day sessions
three - Bam! Kicked out of a session. Sucks to be me.
four - Sunday sessions
So I had a really amazing time, and as always, it had little to do with the content of the conference. It had everything to do with meeting new people, seeing old friends, spending time with amazing people I can only talk to normally via email, getting to know people I really admire, eating great food, bopping to 80’s music, discussing future plans to take over the world… Roll on the next one!

What I’ve been saying for years - including yesterday!
This morning while cruising my Google Alerts, I discovered a newly-released white paper about Gen X and Gen Y Women.
(Google Alerts, in case you don’t know, is a great way to track what’s being said online about things you’re interested in.)
The International Museum of Women interacted […]

Hans Monderman is a Dutch road traffic engineer with radical ideas. He says that at congested intersections, it is safer and more effective for drivers to make eye contact to negotiate with each other than to watch traffic control devices….

A Maine expression is “you can’t get there from here” … I can’t get anywhere without a GPS. Former GPS died with message it was “dangerously cold” (in Sept.)
With 10 minutes of research easily decided on the Garmin Nuvi 660. Guy at Circuit City talked me into the Garmin Nuvi 680 since it had more memory and on sale – cost $549.
I’m in love. Used on 6-hour drive yesterday.
1. Took minutes to do initial set-up.
2. Size of a Blackberry; and comes with a sleeve to carry around.
3. Sharp images.
4. Shows even minor side street names on display; and also names/says the exit to take.
5. Found satellite for first time in 2 minutes; instantly in car (this was huge issue with my old model that could take 5 or 10 minutes to locate the satellite).
6. Included free year of traffic updates – apparently indicates when traffic jam ahead and gives reroute info.
7. Says other features (I likely won’t use) – like book downloads, bluetooth, mp3.
Wish I had realized GPS technology had upgraded this long time ago …
