OK, I can understand why Articulate would want to promote its own product, but if you really wanted to prove you're an e-learning guru, would you really want a canned course to be your showcase? If I wanted to enter an e-learning guru contest (does that even make sense? but I digress) I would show something like this site and point to the legacy of ten years of posts (well, I'd fix the broken links and finish the site redesign first, but you know what I mean). Or maybe I'd show the blogs and networks and seminars that comprised one of the Connectivism courses, which wasn't canned at all. Other things I would find very worthy are things like Ed Tech Talk, or Second Life Educators (SLED), or Edublogs, or Webheads, or Learn Central, or WikiEducator... oh I could go on and on. None of them are canned courses. All of them are much more worthy of 'guru' status.
Maybe I should just be done with it and have my own award. Once a year, one winner. No categories or product requirements or conditions. Just one award, for the best in education, period. What do you think?
