1. Wikis and Blogs in the CIA?
2. Design the Lobby for Learning.
3. Learning 2005 Update: "Informal Learning" Conversation
1. Wikis and Blogs in the CIA? I recently met with learning colleagues from various intelligence agencies from various countries to dialogue about Extreme Learning. The conversation quickly turned to the use of Wiki's, Blogs and other "community-based" learning and knowledge models.
I wanted to share an article by the Central Intelligence Agency about the experimental use of a wiki or blog in secure settings. This is an unclassified PDF document under the Creative Commons License:

2. Design the Lobby for Learning: A simple plea to organizations that are designing new classroom and conference centers: Make the Lobby a Learning Space! Make the space outside the classroom ready for today's and tomorrow's learning in these ways:
* Add spaces where people can sit and carry on private conversations before and after classes.
* Consider adding video displays that allow someone to leave the class and continue to watch the proceedings.
* Build in some whiteboards or flipcharts that allow for capture of those great thoughts in lobby conversations.
* Construct some book racks to let people browse titles while on breaks.
* Name spaces in the lobby to let facilitators point learners to sub-groups for targeted conversations.
3. Learning 2005 Update: "Informal Learning" Conversations - The theme of today's Learning TRENDS seems to be informal modes of learning. That will be one of the strands of conversations at Learning 2005, to be held in Orlando from Oct 30 to Nov 2. We just added a Conversation about Informal Learning by Jay Cross, a colleague and collaborator with a passion for the topic. Join the over 1,400 learning colleagues already headed to Learning 2005.
