Dear TRENDS Colleagues,

Well, I made it to Orlando after a wonderful and learning-filled ride on AMTRAK from New York City. Over 90 TRENDS readers sent me notes to the train and I had a chance to call about 3 dozen folks as we rode through their towns. One very funny note came from a retired trainer who lives along the AMTRAK track route and he wanted to chat as the train passed. We had a wonderful conversation about the soothing nature of train noises in the middle of the night (it was about 3:00 am when we talked).

I appreciate all of your support and tolerance as we ramped up to Learning 2006. From Podcasts to Crossword Puzzles to Surveys of TRENDS, you are a big inspiration and source of support as we build our event. Even if you can't attend, we will put hundreds of pages of content and media on LearningWiki for your use at http://www.learningwiki.com

Finally, here are some of the key issues and themes that I will be talking about at Learning 2006, starting on Sunday:

* Fingertip Knowledge - the challenge for learning and training professionals as search capabilities expand and evolve.
* Read/Write Documents - collaborative writing and document creation.
* Competencies, Compliance and Content!
* The Education Flow - connections from elementary/secondary school to college to the workplace. We MUST start to work and evolve together.
* Research on Learning Needed!
* HumanCap Technology: Watch for this phrase as we roll out our new event in April in Las Vegas, expanding the LMS User Group conference.
* Beyond ROI and Assessment to Impact Evaluation.
* Trust as a Competency.
* Rethinking Orientation and On-Boarding.
* Learning Careers.
* New Media for Learning: PodCasts, Gaming and Mobile.
* Re-Energize the Classroom!
* Digital Coaching.
* Self-Service Learning.

I will send you a TRENDS once Learning 2006 is completed. Follow the action at http://www.learning2006.com or http://www.learningwiki.com There are still a few spaces for last-minute registrations. See you soon!

Yours in learning,

Elliott
