1. Your Questions for Peter Senge at TechLearn: I will be interviewing
Peter Senge, key advocate of Learning Organizations, by satellite at
TechLearn 2002 (end of October in Orlando). In preparing for my
interview, I would love to get some help from you. What are some key
questions about the evolution of Senge's models of Learning Organizations
as the world has picked up the capacities of digital learning and
collaboration. Send me your questions to elliott@masie.com Thanks!
2. Italian Gathering of TRENDS Readers and My On-Line Language Lessons:
In about seven days I am going to be heading to Italy to give a speech on
e-Learning. This is my first real trip to Italy. I speak not a word of
Italian, so guess where I am spending some time. You got it, on-line,
learning basic language for travelers. I am using a few different on-line
courses, my first e-Language experiences. There are some very impressive
offerings, including www.rosettastone.com
It is interesting to see how my ear is picking up some of the listening
side, but I am still quite challenged on the speaking side. But, I am
only a few hours into the process. I will keep you informed along the
way. (Note, my wife Cathy has lived and studied in Florence, so I have
some shoulder-to-shoulder tutoring going on at the same time.)
I would like to invite any TRENDS readers, who live in or near Rome, to
join me for a drink and chat on Wednesday, October 2nd, at 5 PM at the
lobby bar of the Grand Hotel De La Minerve, Piazza della Minerva, 69
tel: 06 695201.
3. e-Learning Balloons: One of our readers wrote in about their attempt
to help e-Learners with some privacy during real-time sessions. Their
company has made up a set of printed balloons, that say Learner At Work!
They blow them up and tie them to cubicles or chairs during longer on-line
sessions. They report it helps with both privacy and also publicizing the
growing rate of e-Learning in their area. Of course, some learners are
also inhaling a bit of the helium and changing their voice sound during
on-line chats.
