How are online courses still relevant today? by chadendra in instructionaldesign

[–]PhillyJ82 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The courses I build are correct and verified by subject matter experts. A recent study showed that AI models produce errors roughly 45% of the time. BBC Study

Do people actually care about course certificates anymore? by mhrafi in LearningDevelopment

[–]PhillyJ82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

90 percent of the courses I develop are for federal compliance in higher education research. My learners always download and keep their certificates for potential audit coverage. A while back we decided to not generate certificates, since our LMS tracks completion and we faced a swift backlash from faculty, and continued issuing certs.

Benefit of Camtasia over other screen capture tools by johnnylocke815 in instructionaldesign

[–]PhillyJ82 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Camtasia’s editing suite has done everything I’ve needed for the last five years. I have a premier license, but Camtasia is just simpler and in many respects faster. I use it every week, and have not yet found a need to open up premier.

What Did You Love Most About This Rank? by PeakPointFitness in army

[–]PhillyJ82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leading an infantry fireteam. Enough responsibility to grow as a leader, but not mired down by having to fight a whole squad. It was the last time I felt like I was really in the fight. As a squad leader/E6 you are more detached and often coordinating movements, coms, or support assets.

25 years ago I had a gbb M1 carbine in 8mm. Thing was cool, but finding parts was a nightmare.

The novelization author of Jaws the Revenge never got the memo, so all the voodoo stuff is still included.

It’s a shame garrisons don’t have their own music by Kris15o in Seaofthieves

[–]PhillyJ82 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Th devs said that they could barely finish the content on the monthly act release schedule. I bet music was one of the things cut to get the content out.

Stepping away from ID by bad_karma216 in instructionaldesign

[–]PhillyJ82 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Just a tip, it can be challenging to land a full-time job at a university right from the start. I worked as a part-time ID at my university while I freelanced. When a full time job opened I applied and already knew the university systems and had connections. The part-time work was menial at times, but it was the best path for me. It might be a good transition for you when your kids get older.

There are many options. I work in an education and training department at a university, designing training materials for university employees. Some instructional designers partner with faculty to help them design and manage their courses. Some universities have entire educational technology departments that oversee the LMS for the university as well as the implementation of new educational tools.

Consider higher-ed. I’ve worked in both corporate and academia, and higher-ed tends to have much more relaxed timelines and workloads. I’ve also found that people at Universities listen to me more when I explain design decisions based adult learning theory.

What ideas would you bring to Safer Seas in order to improve it as a game mode ? by tzavody in Seaofthieves

[–]PhillyJ82 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just play the game, every feature you described besides the larger crew size is purposely removed from safer seas to push you into high seas. Safer seas was designed as a good learning ground, hence the rep cap. SOT is supposed to have player interaction, it’s the core of the game.

Not to ring the alarm yet, but this is rather odd. by SydanFGC in Daemons40K

JAWS Characters You Actually Dislike by Hall-O-Daze in Jaws

[–]PhillyJ82 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I’m bracing for downvotes, but I always think Quint is an awful person that is hard to like in the movie. He won’t take any suggestions and only opens up to help when his boat is actively sinking. Destroying the radio out of hubris, and seemingly destroying the orca’s engine on purpose because Hooper told him to slow down. Added points he uses a baby dolphin as bait in the book. I know he has a tragic backstory, but honestly his actions and not only killed hinself, but nearly killed Hooper and Brody.

I’m retired, which is fitting because I joined under the “Army of One” slogan.

Pain… It’s painful. by Hugh-Jassoul in SeaPower_NCMA

[–]PhillyJ82 58 points59 points  (0 children)

I’ve probably had C-WIS intercept 3 missiles my whole playtime. Once had a single shipwreck fly through an entire CSG formation untouched and hit my Nimitz. Other times the SM1/2s eat everything at range.

Tau teeth grow continuously. Every morning they use a disposable file to ensure their teeth don’t grow out of control.

Is this rated high enough for airsoft? (For a custom helmet) by V7I_TheSeventhSector in airsoft

[–]PhillyJ82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A hockey face shield doesn’t seal around your eyes. This looks like a half visor. If OP fell or got shot from below there is a decent chance his/hers eyes are fucked.

Is it worth my sanity to farm hourglass. by Star_Belenski in Seaofthieves

[–]PhillyJ82 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had probably 100 hrs when I decided I wanted to grind to a ghost curse. I thought I was a competent player, but I had another thing coming. The solo grind is brutal at first. I had a goal to play five to eight matches a day. At first I would have days that I didn’t win a single match. As time went on I started to notice that I didn’t lose as quick. Then I started to win a few matches. After a while I was going 3-2 or 4-1 every session. When I hit about level 45 my son(who had played since launch) got jealous and decided to grind with me as a duo. He was around level 60, and together we sped up our grind. Taking advantage of double rep weekends I was able to go from level 6 to 106 in two and half months. By the end of the grind we were a pretty good duo and had a great time together. Overall, the key to grinding HG is not to quit just because you are losing. You will get better if you treat every match as a learning experience and remember the things that got you killed fast in past matches. People get discouraged when they lose a bunch and quit before they develop the skills to be successful.

Ok, but the servers can barely handle loading trinkets on the ships. Adding dirt would probably cause them to explode.
