I’ll be presenting at DevCon 2009 in June! Both of my proposals were submitted before Thanksgiving so I get all my expense paid. Utah will be my 11th state where I’ve presented. Here's what I'll be doing:

Let Pictures Tell the Story. How to Stage a Scene for E-learning

Make e-learning engaging and effective with image assets artfully arranged. This session will show you how to use Fireworks and PowerPoint to manipulate and assemble images for scene backgrounds and story templates. See examples of original scene designs and learn about the techniques used to create them.

I see what you mean! Visual Design in E-learning

Take instructional design to the next level by adding visual design to your learning products. Find just the right image, use parts of it, or design your own graphics to illustrate and communicate ideas. This session will showcase a gallery of visual e-learning designs and discuss how to create, adapt, and use graphics to enhance meaning and interest for any type of content.
