1. Instant Messenger Innovations & Learning
2. Learning Quotation
3. Over 430 Tips (Send a Few More)
4. e-Learning Skills LAB - 9 Spaces Open
1. Instant Messenger Innovations & Learning: In recent days, Yahoo and Microsoft have announced new versions of their Instant Messenger (IM) technologies. IM is being integrated more closely into browsers, aligned with Net Services (such as games and e-Commerce) and increased collaboration and video/audio over IP functionality.
I would urge you to put IM on your Learning TRENDS Radar Screen. We believe that the role of "always on" connectivity will evolve into broader collaboration capabilities. In additon, we predict that organizations will standardize on a corporate IM/Collaborative technology, which will evolve into voice over IP, video conference and virtual classroom hubs.
Learning technologies will be asked to use a corporate standard rather than application specific tools.
2. Learning Quotation:
"Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper." - Robert Frost
3. Over 430 Tips (Send a Few More): Recently, I asked for TRENDS readers to send us some eLearning Tips. I wished for about 100 good ones. Well, we got over 430 GREAT ONES! We are in the process of putting these together into a FREE electronic book/website and will have it ready in the about 4 or 5 weeks. If you want to add a few more, send them in to emasie@masie.com
4. e-Learning Skills LAB - 9 Spaces Open: We have a few spaces left in our May session of our e-Learning Skills LAB at The MASIE Center in Saratoga Springs. This is a 3 day, hands-on, drill down on all aspects of e-Learning which I lead a few times a year. Info at http://www.masie.com
Upcoming MASIE Center Events:
* e-Learning Design & Development SIG - Las Vegas
* e-Learning Briefing - London, England
* e-Learning Skills LAB - Saratoga Springs, NY
