Learning 2006 - Nov 5-8 - Orlando - www.learning2006.com.
1. Josh Bersin & Elliott Masie Interview on Learning.
2. Real Time Google, YouSteer & MindMap for Keynotes.
1. Josh Bersin & Elliott Masie Interview on Learning: We recently hosted Josh Bersin, a learning researcher and analyst, at our Lab in Saratoga Springs. Josh will be one of our Thought Leaders at Learning 2006, focusing on Talent Management, Learning Content Management Systems and Learning Marketplace Issues. Josh and I thought it would be interesting for us to do an unplanned interview/dialogue on Trends in Learning:
- Trends in Content and Compliance Management.
- Changing Marketplace for Learning Products and Services.
- Myths about Learning.
- Talent Management, Competencies and More.
Here is the Video, Audio, PodCast or Text Interview:

2. Real Time Google & MindMap for Keynotes: I am working with Jay Cross, the author of "Informal Learning", on some new models for structuring a Keynote/General Session. Have you ever been part of a conference where you wished you could capture and expand the dialogues at a Keynote? We came up with three innovations that you will experience at Learning 2006 in Orlando from November 5 to 8:
* Real Time Google: During every Keynote/General Session, you will be able to see a screen with the results of ongoing, real-time Google searches based on the speech or interview. For example, as I am interviewing Lucy Carter from Apple, we might talk about the role of PodCasts for Blended Learning. Our Google Team will do a real time search on key elements, display it for your interest and provide an edited search list for all participants.
* Real-Time MindMap: During every Keynote/General Session, you will be able to watch the development of a graphical MindMap. Every concept, metaphor and conversation thread will be captured in a linkable MindMap.
References to books, links and research will be added by our MindMap team.
At the end of the speech, the Thought Leader, myself and a team from our CONSORTIUM will edit and expand the MindMap to give to each participant.
* YouSteer Sessions: Every participant will have a tiny Audience Response device that we will use throughout the event to help steer and shape the content of sessions. For example, during my opening session on "Learning in a Flatter World", the sequence and focus of my presentation will be shaped by a real-time audience poll. While this may be new and different for a speaker, it will be fun to see how the "Wisdom of the Crowds" can help strucure content flow.
These experiments will provide you with a new type of real-time collaboration, information flow and knowledge capture. We'll experiment with how to provide useful (and not distracting) reference and extension material for a real-time experience. Stay tuned for more details of Learning 2006 Learning Experiments.
There are already over 900 of your colleagues from around the world registered for Learning 2006. For information and registration:

(Note: We are working on a very exciting 400th edition of TRENDS. But, it make take a week or so more. Hence, we'll use 399.1 and 399.2 to save the 400th for our special edition - Elliott)
