3. MASIE Skills Lab Has 7 Spaces Open

1. Does Learning "DNA" Differ Around the World?: I am in London this morning, at a meeting of our e-Learning CONSORTIUM. There is a hot dialogue going on this morning about how e-Learning differs in various regions of the world. Reports from Brazil, Japan, England and the U.S.
seem to indicate that learners might bring a sort of "Learner DNA" to the task of e-Learning. This may be based on how their education system is organized, the verbal traditions in their culture and the assumptions about interaction in each region. I said that I would add comments from TRENDS readers to our conversation. Send me a quick note to emasie@msaie.com and I will share our findings back out next week.

2. Small Cameras in Classrooms!: Make an investment in a small, $1,000 camera mounted on the wall in the back of your classrooms. These can be controlled by ethernet and can be leveraged for both real time stremaing of events and/or capturing of the proceedings to be used as e-Learning content in the future. We have added these to our rooms at the Center and find we can easily capture (without disruption) an event at the drop of a hat.

3. MASIE Skills Lab Has 7 Spaces Open: There are only 7 spaces left in our popular e-Learning Skills LAB to be held in Saratoga Springs, NY on February 23 - 25th. This is a very hands-on, interactive 3 day lab that focuses on the skills for deploying e-Learning in medium and large organizations. Complete information at http://www.masie.com
