Design learning experiences – not instruction!
Someone came onto our stand at the Learning Technologies the other week and asked, ‘OK, so you people at Saffron know social learning. What about anti-social learning?’ That intriguingly sly question got me thinking about what our role is in facilitating learning in our customers’ organisations: what exactly is it that we be should aiming […]
e-Learning projects: Understanding a client’s needs
Imagine that a group of people each have a box with something in it. Let’s call it a ‘beetle.’ No one can look into anyone else’s box, and everyone says they know what a beetle is only by looking at their beetle. It would be possible that everyone has something different in their box. Maybe […]
How to QA e-learning effectively
Mantras such as ‘check, check and check again’ are often bandied around in the workplace, but what can we do to make sure our QA of everything we roll out is 100 per cent foolproof?
Creating e-Learning for Everybody Using Multiple Intelligences
Howard Gardener’s theory of multiple intelligences is widely accepted among education professionals, but is barely recognised by many in e-learning.

Moodle tips of the week

Tips for Arranging Exciting Enterprise Moodles
Dynamic… end to end… pro active… imagineer… synergy… innovate… synnovate. In the technology business, when you can justifiably use one (or all) of these words in a sentence you know you are doing a good job.
Saffron has been shortlisted for an award
We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve been shortlisted for the 2010 E-Learning Award for Excellence in the Production of Learning Content – Private Sector.
Corporate handwriting — why typography is important in e-learning.
Western fonts and typefaces fall into one of two identifiable categories; either they have small features at the end of strokes to distinguish each character, or they don’t. Serif fonts (or “Roman” fonts) are the ones with the swishes, and sans serif typefaces are the ones that don’t. Put simply, Times New Roman is a […]
What’s in a Moodle
A lot of people in e-learning and beyond have been asking us about Moodlerecently. They’re curious about this funny word because what was once a little-known verb is now a global movement: forty million users in 216 countries and fifteen books written about how to use it so far. And it’s no longer just universities, […]
