Learning DEScribe Session 1 - The Challenge

OK, confession time.  I’m a writer, not an educator.  But, our team needs blog training and the task falls to me.  I know the material, so it ought to be simple - right?  Gather everyone into a class room, lecture for a couple hours and voila! Bloggers. 

Trouble is, their work scatters them and their schedules across the planet.  Getting everyone together in one place at one time demands effort and expense far beyond anyone’s budget.   An asynchronous (students participate on their own schedule), online course could solve that dilemma.  And, our Tool Team created a product expressly for this purpose - DEScribe.

But, I’ve never used DEScribe.  In fact, I’ve never created any kind of online curriculum.  Perhaps you haven’t either.  If that’s the case, join me on a climb up the DEScribe learning curve.  Over the next few days I’ll share the good, the bad and the ugly as I download and install the software, figure out how it works, and then create an actual course. 

Comment as you like.  This should be fun.
