1. Training Game Raised in Vioxx Trial.
2. LMS or LCMS for Performance Support Tracking?
3. Elliott Learns Zamboni Skills.
4. Learning Radar Screens.
1. Training Game Raised in Vioxx Trial: Today, I noted one of the first mentions of a sales training game in a major law suit. Lawyers for both sides in the civil case presented their views of a Sales Training game that was used for the Vioxx sales force. The issue in debate was the intent of the game and how it fit into Merck's approach to answering doctor's questions about the painkiller. I suspect that this will be one of many legal conversations that will emerge on the intersection of the games for learning and legal issues. A lesson already learned is the naming of the game. This one was called "Dodge!" which referred to the action within the game. But, titles can come back to haunt you. TRENDS will track this issue for you.
2. LMS or LCMS for Performance Support Tracking? A number of TRENDS readers have asked an interesting question about how tracking will work when organizations open up learning content to be browsed and accessed on an individual module vs. full course level. For example, a few companies are redeploying their course content to be available to field staff at a random access, module or even sub-module level. This is very well received and the company would like to do closer tracking of utilization.
Should this be done by their Learning Management System (LMS) which
currently tracks course level use. Should they evolve the LMS to do
module or sub-module level tracking or should this be done by one of their
Learning Content Systems (LCMS) or Document Management Systems. I would
love to hear from TRENDS readers on this issue. Write me a note to emasie@masie.com and I will share back with our readership.
3. Elliott Learns Zamboni Skills: I always wanted to learn to drive a Zamboni. I have steered a satellite in space, driven a race car at a track and even steered an aircraft carrier. But, I wanted to drive a Zamboni. It was a hoot to learn. If interested, details at my blog at http://www.elliottmasie.com/ Never to old to slide across the ice in a cool vehicle.
4. Learning Radar Screens at Learning 2005: We are in the process of designing a number of Learning Radar Screeen sessions at our upcoming Learning 2005 event (Oct 30 - Nov 2 - Orlando). These Radar Screen sessions will be hosted by learning managers of large corporations and will track the Current Learning Trends and Emerging Radar Screen Trends in each of these topic areas:
* Instructional Design Radar Screen.
* Classroom Methods Radar Screen.
* e-Learning Methods Radar Screen.
* Learning Systems (LMS, LCMS) Radar Screen.
* Gaming for Learning & Simulation Radar Screen.
* Web Conferencing & Collaboration Radar Screen.
* Assessment and Measurement Radar Screen.
* Leadership Development Models Radar Screen.
* Competency Management Radar Screen.
We are very excited about these sessions, which will each have these
elements:
* A Pre-Learning 2005 Report to be Read or Viewed by All Participants (This allow us to focus our time as interactive at Learning 2005!)
* A Visual Trends and Radar Screen for each Learning method, model or technology.
* Focus on Current TRENDS vs. Emerging Radar Screen TRENDS for each category.
* View of the Costs and Marketplace Issues for each category.
* Perspectives from Corporate Learning Managers on what can be done to prepare for next 12 to 48 months of innovation.
Join over 800 of your colleagues at our very different type of conference.
