Some Great Posts Finishing Off The Year & Predictions for 2009
I saw some great posts from the last couple of days with great summaries of 2008 and 2009 and I’d like to capture them here as well. Jane Hart’s prediction for top tools of 2009. I’ve used a few of these and agree with Jane that they are wonderful tools and simple to use. Robin […]
A New Year, A Chance to Start Fresh
I was a little disappointed with my self and my postings over the last year, mostly the last half of the year. They became fewer and fewer as I became more consumed with work. It’s nice to be really busy, especially with the outlook of economic lows ahead. However, being too distracted with work hindered […]
Ever want to just escape it all? (Two LMS’s? Are they trying to kill me?)
Ever just want to run away and escape from it all? I just came from a meeting from our Emergency Planning dept. and have been so graciously informed that they are purchasing a system to ensure or emergency readiness. Great, sounds wonderful. I think we need that. The catch….it has an LMS built into it […]
Get Twitters from Mars
Just incase you might need to know (heck I want to know) when the Mars Phoenix Lander comes back online, why not start following the herotic robot. NASA also has on Twitter the MarsRovers, CassiniSaturn, and the MarsScienceLab.
I want to Blog…Where to Start?
I’m curious to find out a few things from bloggers who have been posting for more than a year: What is your blogging tool of choice (blogger, wordpress, etc)? Have you always used the same tool? If you switched why? How often to you post? Does traffic to your blog matter to you? Do you […]
Trouble Concentrating on One Task at a Time
I’m finding it increasingly difficult to concentrate on one task at a time, let alone complete one and before I move onto the next. Am I normal for my generation; a product of my environment; has work forced be to be this way; is it just too much info all at once? I’m just not […]
An Interpretation of Training in the 21st Century
I love Harold Jarche’s SlideShare here explaining many of the ideas and concepts we need to think about as we move forward in this web 2.0 world and the ways that we are going to continue to foster learning. I find it very important, yet very difficult still to get managment to understand the greater […]
LMS Is Not Managing Classroom Based Training
My days and nights are still consumed with the issue that our LMS does not manage classroom based courses well at all. I can not find a work around for our courses that run over many different days. The vendor gave me a solution if they are all in the same week, but that doesn’t […]
Corporate Learning Trends – Discussion
I sat in on today’s panel discussion with Tony Karrer, Robin Good, and Jane Hart. This was part of a week long online conference presented by Corporate Learning Trends & Innovations 2008. A few of the main points I gathered from the talk: Robin Good’s mind mapping exercise: 134 participants live, and updating a mind […]
An LMS Rant to No One in Particular
I’m working on the “1 course, many classes” issue. I’ve got it now that the learner registers for module 1 of 6. If the learner clicks “my courses” they see module 1 that they registered for (there is no date of the course for them though. (It can’t added to Outlook either like it should). […]
