There’s nothing more fascinating for an e-learning course designer than watching users interact with the courses online. From where they click, their mouse movements, scrolling and so on, you can tell you a lot about what is good and what is bad about the course and the user interface surrounding it.
The problem for e-learning, of [...]

In the 80s, when most people didn’t even know what email was, the closest thing most nerds came to the internet was through things called BBSs. Esoteric text-based systems such as Wildcat were called up by people using their phones and 300 baud modems. Strange, beardy characters who gave themselves names such as Plembo and [...]
