Career Development: Interview with Tom Kuhlmann, Part 1

At DevLearn 2010, Tom Kuhlmann shared his perspective with me on careers in e-Learning. The interview is divided into two parts. In Part 1, Tom reflects on how he started in e-Learning, and then offers advice to people wanting to shift or grow their careers. Watch this interview to learn Tom’s take on:

• The evolving field of e-Learning

• How to create a skill map

• How to get resume-building experience

Part 2 of this interview will appear in my column here next month.
