I am just about to go down and see a clients IT department and was preparing a list of questions to ask them. I thought I would share it with the readers of this blog.

What I would like to do is get some example of real events which could help people get some background information for the scenario or can show that the actual scena

We’ve all been there. You’ve been given a pile of dry content and asked to create a compelling eLearning course. You’re determined to create something more engaging than the same old course that learners quickly click through, but how do you take this “boring” content and create something relevant and engaging?

I have been following the Occupy movement protest at St Paul’s Cathedral in London (and round the world) with some interest as this is a type of Business Continuity incident which perhaps many have not thought about. Most would agree that the Church of England’s handling of the incident has been poor. The protestors are protesting about points such as “We refuse to pay for the banking crisis” and “We want structural change towards authentic global equality.
