1. Free and Open Courseware Posted by MIT
2. Learning Issues in Italy
3. More Learning Mergers: Outstart and Trainersoft
4. Learning Strategies Seminar at Hamburger University
5. Complete Agenda for TechLearn OnLine
1. Free and Open Courseware Posted by MIT: One year ago, MIT's President
announced that they were planning to put the course materials for most of
the MIT courses online for free public access. This week, the first
twenty courses are available. These are not on-line courses. They are
the classnotes, activities, graphics, reading collections and agendas from
the courses. A teacher at another institution would find these quite
useful in developing a course. And, a learner might take the resources
and use them as part of a self-directed learning project. There is huge
potential here for a mutli-institutional collection, which could be
expanded to include government and corporate courseware. Check out the
MIT Courseware Site at:

2. Learning Issues in Italy: I have just returned from a visit to Italy
where I spoke at a Human Resources Conference. Key learnings from
dialogues:
- Strong desire for more localized e-Learning content.
- Views of Learning more closely linked to "culture of workplace" issues
- Legal and Union issues are throwing some hurdles to learning
implementation
- Desire to closely link Knowledge Management and e-Learning efforts
3. More Learning Mergers: Outstart and Trainersoft: Well, another merger
was announced yesterday. Outstart and Trainersoft announced their merger.

4. Learning Strategies Seminar at Hamburger University: We are pleased to
announce the next session of our popular course for managers: Learning
Strategies. This is a 2 day course, plus 4 on-line sessions, focused on
building an effective e-Learning and Learning Strategy. It will be held
in Chicago on Dec 3 and 4 at McDonald's Hamburger University. Space is
limited to implementers of learning. Info at http://www.masie.com
5. Complete Agenda for TechLearn 2002 On-Line: The final agenda for
TechLearn 2002, to be held in Orlando on Oct 27 to 30, is now posted on
