eLearning DevCon – See you there!
June 8, 2010
We’ll be at eLearningDevCon next week…are you coming? Stop by our booth and say hi!
DevCon has been a great conference in the past. It’s not the largest eLearning conference but it is very focused on development. It is small enough that you actually feel like you get to know people. (Plus it’s in our backyard and we can sleep at home every night.)
Visit us on the DevCon Community site.
Hope to see you there!
Our booth will have demos of Flash eLearning Games, eLearning Activities, Articulate Skins, People Pictures, and more!
Learning Solutions Conference – Great Time!
March 26, 2010
The eLearning Guild did a great job putting on this year’s Learning Solutions Conference.
Thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth and visited my learning session. (Don’t forget about the special conference discount code to purchase our eLearning Templates.)
Here is the presentation for Top 10 Do’s to Create Awesome eLearning.
(There are many basic foundations of eLearing design/dev that we need to remember and think about. At times we get “stuck” doing the same thing that we did yesterday. So, these tips aren’t rocket science. They are reminders that we may have forgotten.)
Articulate, PowerPoint, and Rapid eLearning templates.

A Look Inside eLearning Brothers
January 14, 2010
We often get asked about our company name, “eLearning Brothers”. Usually it’s, “Are you really brothers?”.
Well…the answer is Yes! We are brothers and have both working for years in the eLearning industry.
We have had the desire to work together for many years and have both done various “side projects” along the way. However just over a year ago we found ourselves in a moment of time where it was actually possible to start a company together and to give it the love and attention it would need.
Advantages of working with your brother:
- Makes parents proud that we’ve stopped beating each other up (at least that’s what they think)
- Keep friends close, keep enemies closer
- Nothing ever gets embarrassing. We already know everything about each other
- Can get away with teasing and mean words without worries of a law suit
- Enjoy long discussions about who’s smarter and/or more handsome
- Debates about if being older or taller is more important
Latest company off-site meeting:
Mountain biking and Jeeping in Moab Utah. (Taking the eLearning Sisters to Cancun soon.)
Company motto:
“Brothers don’t shake hands…Brothers gotta hug!” (Tommy Boy)
eLearning Brother Clan:
- 10 loud kids
- 2 wonderful, sweet, thoughtful, considerate, selfless, dedicated, loving wives. (just in case one of them is reading this we would have included more but text on a screen just wouldn’t do it justice.)
Official Company Goal:
Build awesome eLearning courses and templates for the world.
Personal Company Goal:
Build a company that allows us to “be there” for our families.

Fastest Marathon Ever!
October 30, 2009
The first team eLB marathon is complete! Sister Kim and I ran our fastest marathons ever! (ok…it was also our first marathon ever) The St George Marathon was 10/3 in St George Utah and the race went through the beautiful Snow Canyon area.
I (Brother Andrew) was only 5 1/2 weeks out from my collarbone surgery and was out of training for about 3 weeks. So needless to say my body was not in the best shape. I don’t think that the medicine, trauma, lack of sleep, and plate/screws helped either. My goal was to come in under 4 hours and to not walk. I was able to do it! (3:53 and no walking). I would love to do it again but I’m not sure when yet. The biggest thing that I learned it that I LOVE icy-hot. They had icy-hot stations every few miles. It feels really nice on aching legs 
Sister Kim did a great job as well. This is her first shot at running. She started to really feel it at about mile 20 and had to “gut it out” the rest of the way. Her husband (Brother Shawn) went out to see/encourage her during the last stretch. Sister Kim was surrounded by her 4 daughters as she crossed the finish line.
This was a great experience and we’ll remember it forever!
