149 - Special Welcome Back Edition of TechLearn Trends!
December 31, 1999
Special Welcome Back Edition of TechLearn Trends!
(Note: We are resuming our TechLearn Trends publication, following a rest
after TechLearn '99. There were 2,612 attendees at TechLearn and it was an
incredible learning community. People really enjoyed the non-trade show
community at TechLearn, where the focus was on colleagueship rather than
being treated as a prospect or customer. We are publishing the results and
resources from TechLearn for the wider readership and here are several key
resources and announcements. We will add video and audio clips in the weeks
ahead.)
1. TechLearn Resources Now On-Line - Over 223 Sessions Posted: The
results from 223 sessions, including complete presentation slides are
available at our resource site http://www.techlearn99.com These include
problem solutions sessions, keynotes, seminars and a host of Product
Showcases. We also have the complete set of Sponsor Resources and a
Discussion Board (including Job Postings). In just 2 weeks, we will add
hundreds of hours of audio and video tape at this site. Check it out as we
add over 100 hours of audio and video segments to the site. Go to
http://www.techlearn99.com
2. Trip Report from the Office of the Secretary of Defense On-Line: One of
the cool features at this year's conference was a free Trip Report for all
participants. This report summarized the sessions and themes of TechLearn
and was prepared by the ADL Project of the Office of the Secretary of
Defense. It was an easy way to jump start a personal trip report. Thanks
to the Pentagon for their help on this. You can access the report from
http://www.techlearn99.com

component of a traditional classroom) on a confidential web site. Six weeks

information, articles from leading experts on this issue, test reviews of
new technologies and a monthly column by Elliott Masie. We already have
654 subscribers. The cost is only $195 per year, includes a personal

reports. Get details at http://www.techlearn99.com First edition will
