Welcome to RobertBush.com!

Some popular topics often come up during projects. For convenience, many are collected here, as notes, in this cube.

It would take a book to cover many of these topics in depth. These notes only cover highlights as guidelines or reminders, to help support e-learning and instructional design efforts. These notes are a work in progress, so you may find some areas are more complete than others.

Topics for this cube, shown below, fall into four groups: Instructional Design, Best Practices, Workflow, and Tools.
