Lots is new! I discovered that Adobe’s eLearning Suite is awesome and that all educators need to have an understanding of this major application. Perhaps you didn’t consider yourself a ecourse designer… Perhaps you don’t ever plan on working in the online environment… Well, you still need it. Why? Because it is the best way [...]
