#GuildChat for 03/10/17: Digital Learning Assets

Our next #GuildChat takes place Friday, March 10th at 11AM PT/2PM ET. This week’s topic is on Digital Learning Assets.

After the objective is set and the design is in motion a learning professional most often turns their attention to digital assets.

Digital assets can be or can support the content of any elearning project. Today these assets typically include, images, audio, and video.

Knowing where to find, how to select, how to create and then how to best manage these assets is a critical skill in itself, one that goes beyond the definition of learning designer held by most outside the field.

Join us this week on #GuildChat as we tap into the Guild community for a discussion on the best practices, tips, techniques and tools to harvest and manipulate digital assets for your next elearning project.
