Dr. Jane Bozarth (Aquarius) is a contributing writer for "Training" magazine which has just recently gone out of business. She is also the E-Learning Coordinator for North Carolina's Office of State Personnel, and a self-proclaimed perpetual doctoral student. She has written three books: "E-Learning Solutions on a Shoestring", "Better than Bullet Points: Creating Engaging E-Learning with PowerPoint", and "From Analysis to Evaluation: Tools, Tips, and Techniques for Trainers". Coming this summer 2010: "Social Media for Trainers". Her educational passion is inexpensive e-Learning, training & development, and reflective practice in training and development. She hosts her own blog, bozarthzone, and contributes to two others: http://liveonlinelearning.blogspot.com/ and @http://nagtad.blogspot.com/. She travels a lot, does not like to cook, and confesses to driving too fast. Although I've never met her, I like her :)
 * About the Author**

I**n following Jane Bozarth on twitter, I can see that she is well versed in the design and implementation of eLearning. She's also got a great sense of humor and great perspectives on things. What I can also see is that she is well-grounded. My definition of well-grounded, in this scenario, is that she has a government job and knows what it is like to be asked to do a lot and to be accountable for it, but to also be given very little funding. Since I am a public school teacher at the high school level with an interest in using technology to its fullest, this was the book for me. I am currently involved in designing some on-line courses, but of course being given no extra funding. Such is the life of a government worker. We do it because we love it :)
