1. Donald Trump Launches On-Line Trump University.
2. 604 Memorable Teachers: Can You Add Yours?
3. Wikis for Real Time Global Translation & Context
1. Donald Trump Launches On-Line Trump University: I was intrigued to hear about the latest on-line education venture: Trump University, launched by the "Donald". They are offering short business focused on-line courses and will also add educational consulting and live events, using both business school faculty and Donald himself. One of my long time colleagues and a pioneer in the world of corporate education, Roger Shank, has joined as Chief Learning Officer. It will be fascinating to see what the Trump brand can do to popularize retail offerings of on-line courses. Check them out at http://www.trumpuniversity.com
2. 604 Memorable Teachers: Can You Add Yours? We have received over 600 responses for our new free digital book: Most Memorable Teachers (or Trainers). Here is one that came in while I was writing today's TRENDS:
John Dixon of CIBC wrote about his Biology teacher:
"Mr. Bellamy took the world of science, and made it exciting. He helped me to look beyond the rote memorization of scientific terms, and made it real. He focused on teaching fundamentals, and then challenging us to extrapolate our knowledge into areas we hadn't yet covered. This made the learning more interesting and challenging, driving us to move our knowledge forward" He categorized his memorable traits as: Passionate, Inspiring, Committed, Creative, Knowledgeable and Caring
We would love to add your teacher to this research and free digital book. Can you take a few moments and go to:

3. Wikis for Real Time Global Translation & Context: Lately, we have been experimenting with the idea of using a Wiki (a multi-person blog) to allow for real-time globalization of content, including translation. The idea is simple. Headquarters creates a three panel display for content. The first panel has any graphics for the module. The second panel contains the content in a primary language (eg. English, Spanish or Mandarin). The third panel is a wiki, which allows any user to add content or change/edit content already in that box. Each country or region translates and localizes the 3rd panel in real time. Since the original content stays on the screen, subsequent readers can update, correct or improve the content or context. There could be a centralized desk that edits it, but in the right organization, it would be self-healing. An interesting shift in how content goes global at the speed of business.
