October 30, 2006
Learning TRENDS by Elliott Masie - Oct 30, 2006.
#416 - Updates on Learning, Business & Technology.
53,117 Readers - http://www.masie.com - The MASIE Center.
Learning 2006 - Nov 5-8 - Orlando - www.learning2006.com.
Over 1,704 Global Learning Leaders Registered
1. Learning Dreams and Hopes.
2. LearningLinks & LearningWiki: Peer Added and Rated Resources.
3. Last Minute Registrations for Learning 2006.
1. Learning Dreams: We recently surveyed thousands of learning colleagues about their hopes for the field. Here is a quick summary of the some of the most frequently reported Learning Hopes:
- CEOs and Boards will begin or continue to understand the value of meaningful development for themselves and their teams.
- Learning professionals would be more honest with ourselves.
- That we stop looking for "the answer". There is no one silver bullet.
- Learning Research needs to be more effective and discussed.
- After we "build" it, they really do "come". Learning is accessed by those that need it.
- We can truly measure the ROI or Impact of learning. Or, create a better way of talking about the effectiveness of our work.
- We understand the difference between training and learning.
- The "cool" learning technology actually works and is valued by the entire workforce.
- LMS systems that are engines for performance and profitability rather than tracking systems.
- Every learner is self-directed, understanding that they have to develop constantly if they are to keep up; understanding that learning is *their* responsibility, not their manager's or the HR department's, or anyone else's. And the flipside of that dream, of course, is that we are providing them with engaging, on-demand content as and when and how they need it.
We will be compiling a full report of these learning hopes/dreams and the things that "keep us up at night" in the coming weeks. Stay tuned.
