TWIST Conversations: Mark Lassoff on Programming Skills for eLearning Developers

Welcome to TWIST Conversations, where we chat with members of the Guild Community exploring current trends in learning, performance, and technology.

CaptureIn this episode of TWIST Conversations I chat with Mark Lassoff of LearnToProgram.tv. We explore the world of programming, and why coding is such an important part of an elearning development skill set.

Here are a few highlights from our conversation:

Coding skills are a part of an important digital literacy that anyone working in electronic media … really need to have.

[We] need to better understand the context better within which [we] are developing learning programs.

Being a programmer isn’t about being taught.
