Down with Boring E-Learning!: Interview with e-learning guru Dr. Michael W. Allen - Ryann Ellis, Learning Circuits Editor
At ASTD 2004, I had a chance meeting with Michael Allen, CEO of Allen Interactions. For those of you not familiar with his work (and I can't imagine there are too many of you folks out there), Allen has been at the heart of the multimedia industry for more than 25 years, and was a principal designer of Control Data Corporation's PLATO® computer-based education system and the principal architect of Authorware®. He is the founder and former chairman of Authorware, which merged with Macromind/Paracomp to form Macromedia. In his book, Michael Allen’s Guide to e-Learning: Building Interactive, Fun, and Effective Learning Programs for Any Company, Allen speaks out about his frustrations with today’s e-learning and brings fundamental issues to light. He also shares specific, commonsense guidelines that reliably produce effective and practical learning solutions.
