I am so amazed and excited that there are elearning professionals that are guiding the light to create a true movement in the world that allows for authentic elearning. We have yet to tape in the beauty of what the web can do! This manifesto is supreme in its thought in establishing a value centered way to view design within elearning. I support and endorse this work 100%. I would love to contribute to the building of this manifesto as I live and create based upon many of the principles listed. We’re missing some my friends!! Allow me to add a few to make 25. 🙂

Sae Schatz, Ph.D.	The eLearning Manifesto is succinct, well written, and on-target. These principles apply across the board, not just to eLearning or instructional technologies, but to education and training in general.
Jeep Fortuna Training-2-Go	From our earliest ancestors, we learn to survive. Learning should always have positive outcomes that by necessity involves change, whether behavioral, skill based or foundational awareness. The Manifesto is that road map for success.
Cyril Anderson Flight Safety International	A succinct statement of some key principles to live by in eLearning design, and instructional design in general.

Dean Reed	I reviewed the Manifesto and thought it was fantastic. It covered many of the things I’ve learned from neurology to pedagogy to instructional design. It’s very comprehensive, well-rounded, and we need more of this out there in our communities. Love it!
Roy Stripling EdGurus.com, UCLA	These are excellent principles for any learning activity. Sadly, too many e-learning instances fail to live up to them.

Con mucho gusto, pero sobre todo con mucha responsabilidad, me adhiero al Serios eLearning Manifesto. Me comprometo a ofrecer experiencias positivas de aprendizaje. Considero que es necesario por parte del sector e-Learning una gran reflexión sobre ¿cuál es el propósito de la Tecnología Educativa? ¿Cómo saber si el desarrollo de esta Tecnología trabaja para mejorar el aprendizaje, y cómo y con qué se mide y se evalúa ésto? Espero poder seguir aprendiendo y compartiendo Conocimiento con todos los profesionales del e-Learning.

I am proud of my choice of career and I enjoy taking a professional approach every single day to creating courses which stimulate and engage my learners. Through this engagement I will work hard to guarantee that my courses effectively identify, teach and assess my clients’ *real* training needs. In addition: My e-learning development and instructional design work will take place once I have first discussed with my clients whether e-learning really is the right solution to their problem. I will not work with companies who produce e-learning as a cheap alternative to a human instructor. I do not want this to be part of my professional work history as I believe volume e-learning companies like this do more harm to our profession than good. I will avoid the memory-dump style of course. I will instead develop material which develops as many real-world transferable skills as I can possibly fit in. In short, I will support, implement and regularly review the principles of the E-learning Manifesto.

Melissa Milloway melslearninglab.com	I endorse the Serious ELearning Manifesto!
Michelle Schnob Asigra	It is about time the T&D industry had this conversation. The manifesto has opened my eyes and shifted my views on what makes an eLearning program effective. All too often I find myself having a conversation about branding, or content, when we should be discussing engagement and objectives. Thank you.

Robert Thomas KnowledgeWalk LLC	Finally… a spirited proclamation to rally the troops against the armies of e-Learning enemies (we have met the enemy and it is us); hell-bent on lulling our human capital into hordes of mind-numbed zombies: ineffective and disengaged to the point of mediocrity… perish the thought O Brothers and Sisters!! Rise up and take a stand! RISE UP I SAY!!!

Zaneta Fred IT Group	I support and endorse the Serious eLearning Manifiesto.
Peter Condon The Online Learning Development Company	I will support any proposal that will improve the quality of e-learning; for our learners, in their world. I work to improve our understanding of what quality is in e-learning, its application and review, together with how we might improve quality for our learners. The Serious e-Learning Manifesto encompasses much that is important to our learners and therefore to me. As such I will support and encourage it in its mission. The ideas of self-reflection and development encompassed in this proposal are vital to our profession. I look forward to seeing more people not just signing this manifesto but taking action based upon its content. I will do my best to do the same.
