<\/a>In this post I simply want to sing the praises of another site that has been very useful to me over the last few years.\u00a0 As a manager of a distance learning team, I lead a team that provides both classroom and distance learning.\u00a0 As you can tell from most of my posts, I have a personal love for classroom training.\u00a0 However, I had to learn and must continue to learn about the benefits and challenges of distance learning.\u00a0 One of the best resources I have found is the Articulate web site.\u00a0 Articulate is a tool used to plan, design and publish web-based training.\u00a0 As with all business, they have a product to sale.\u00a0 However, they have also shown a committment to educating trainers through their Rapid E-Learning Blog<\/a> hosted\u00a0by Tom Kuhlmann<\/a>\u00a0and through their E-Learning Community\u00a0<\/a>who shares experiences and\u00a0resources.\u00a0 Enrolling in the community takes only a few moments, has no cost, and does not result in a gazillion e-mails jamming up your in-box.\u00a0 In just the past week I have downloaded free vector graphics in a PowerPoint format, high definition free use graphics, \u00a0and a number of blurred backgrounds that are immediately ready for use.\u00a0 \u00a0Check them out today for a little self-training and don’t forget to look around for free resources.<\/p>\n
