The Rapid E-Learning Blog
Although I only have one week’s experience with blogging, I’m quickly appreciating the benefits that come with creating a blog website. The networking opportunities and available resources are endless. As I reviewed another classmates’ blog website, I discovered The Rapid E-Learning Blog, created byTom Kuhlmann. Tom, a 15 year veteran of the training industry, presents numerous blogs and links that are relevant and practical approaches to the e-learning environment. The site offers a wealth of resources with very practical tips and suggestions. Although the nature of my job does not directly involve e-learning, the information referenced is easily translatable into a traditional classroom setting.

One particular blog, Here's How to Help Your Subject Matter Experts Build Better E-Learning Courses, spoke volumes to my soul. My current duties and responsibilities will eventually evolve into that of Subject Matter Expert. I found the following tips worth their weight in gold:
1. People don’t care about what you know as much as you do.
2. New learners don’t need to know everything you know.
3. Your actions speak so loud I can hardly hear you. (Kuhlman, 2011)
A quick review of the blog archives yielded even more helpful information. After viewing the blog, I can honestly say that my only regret was that I had not discovered this website a year ago, when I needed it. Needless to say, I quickly subscribed to this website. I look forward to reading future blogs from this site!
