Special Request: Preparing for Microsoft Windows Vista & Learning

Dear Learning Trends Colleagues:

As you may know, Microsoft is getting ready to release its next operating system, Windows Vista. Our Learning CONSORTIUM has organized a project called VistaLearn, exploring the learning implications of Vista.
Next week, I will be bringing a team of learning executives to Microsoft's Redmond Campus to dialogue with Microsoft leaders on key issues related
to:

- How will organizations develop the skills of IT professionals, business staff and end-users on the new features of Windows Vista and the next version of Office? What types of learning are most appropriate and least disruptive as Vista is rolled out in organizations in 2007? How can we start to prepare now?

- What features of Vista and Office can be leveraged by learning professionals to create and syndicate content more easily from the desktops and browsers of our workforce? How will these new technologies from Microsoft impact current learning systems?

- Which learning resources from Microsoft would be helpful in your Vista roll-out and education projects? What are your learning expectations and concerns about Vista and the next version of Microsoft Office?

Your questions will help our team focus our discussions with Microsoft next week. We will video these meetings and interviews and stream segments to the readers of Learning TRENDS early in June. I would like to ask for your help and guidance on this project.

Could you please send me an email with suggested topics and questions that you would like us to address in our meetings next week? Just send them to vistalearn@masie.com If you would like to be involved in future Vista Learn activities, send us your contact information to vistalearn@masie.com

Yours in learning,
Elliott Masie
