Cynnamon Stelly
I really enjoyed reading the Serious ELearning Manifesto. It provided me with great ideas on how to deliver knowledge from one person to another. It is amazing how society has changed with technology and somehow the majority of society sticks to a traditional way of teaching instead of thinking outside of the box. This information gives that very avenue to travel to order to keep a learning experience engaging and personal to the learner.
Jamie Sadler
ASAE
I endorse this manifesto!
Steve Haskin
Industrial Strength Learning
I do believe that most eLearning is lacking. But so is most learning, whether it’s adult learning or grammar or high school. I’ve only had one or two teachers who were memorable and actually taught me something I still remember. Learning starts when we’re children. We have to rethink what we’re teaching and how we’re teaching the things we should be teaching. I love to make humorous learning, but I’m very serious about it. The Serious Learning Manifesto is spot on with what it states.
Darren Nerland
Bil and Melinda Gates Foundation

As a Senior Curriculum Designer and being in the Training and Development arena for over 35 years, I believe and support your e-learning principles because it is in alignment with my own principles. It would be an honor to display your badge.
Tudor Saitoc
Grovo

When people learn new skills at the right time in the right way something amazing happens. They feel better work harder and their positive energy spreads.

My team and I may not live into all twenty-two principles, however, we exhibit a ferocious and intelligently applied work ethic directed at continual improvement and we’re proud to have similar values.

As a learning professional we must remind and inspire each other to actively focus on living into the manifesto and will do my part.

University of Adelaide
I believe it is imperative to deliver the highest possible standard of learning material to students and so empower them to make positive changes in society. It is incumbent on those of us working in the higher education sector to provide authentic, engaging material while not absolving students of their responsibilities as learners. I endorse the values and characteristics presented in the Serious eLearning manifesto – as a beginner in eLearning design, I intend to use them to direct my activities into the future
Julia Sellmeier

I have and always will use these principles in designing eLearning contents of all kinds.

I think all IDs need to refresh ourselves on these commitments to the creation of a more engaging and effective virtual learning experience! eLearning is NOT about checking off a requirement; it’s about conveying meaningful real-life issues via ongoing learning activities that are authentic and improve learner performance.

I come from the angle of how e-learning could accelerate time-to-proficiency at workplace. During my Doctorate research, e-learning if properly designed (using or conforming to several of e-learning manifesto listed on this site), it has proven to actually compress or shorten time to proficiency of employees in acquiring complex skills.By virtue of my research findings, I endorse and support e-leaning manifesto and I envision it as some sort of e-learning standards at one point in future. It’s a good move.
Celeste Mulder
Sage HR & Payroll
I endorse the Manifesto. I respect those who will utilise my e-Learning offering and do everything in my power to ensure that their experience is memorable, valuable and engaging. I’ve also started to spread the word to others in my company across the globe; empowering them to do the same.
