1. Funnybone Problems - Where is the Learning? A not very funny thing happened to my funnybone this Friday. I fell in our house and broke my elbow, cracking my funnybone. A few weeks in cast and splint and all should be better, but it was interesting to find a distinct lack of online learning when I needed it:
* How to Shower: Planning to take a shower and not getting my cast wet was actually pretty funny. I went online, assuming that I would find some online learning to help. Nope! One small wiki listing, but nothing graphic to advise me on the fine art of wrapping a cast and planning the shower.
* Sleeping with a Cast: Once again, nothing there.
It made me think about how cool it would be to have a User Generated Content section with illustrated e-Learning for these tasks that are unfamiliar to us, yet mighty important!
2. Zero G - Weightless Learnings: Two weeks ago, my wife Cathy and I had an incredible experience - weightlessness. We were passengers on the Zero G flight, which gave us 15 segments of weightlessness. Cathy and I both dreamed of being astronauts from our childhood. Flying rapidly up and down between 24,000 and 36,000 feet, our special 737 plane gave the 30 of us Zero Gravity experiences for 40 seconds at a time for 15 "parabolic" movements.
It was one of the most incredible experiences of our lives. We were all kids again, floating, eating floating M & M's and doing a series of weightless experiences. If you want to take a peak at our flight, there are pictures and video at http://www.masieweb.com/zerog
3. More Free Content On-Line: We have added another 12 hours of video and audio content from our Learning 2007 event, including keynotes from Dan Pink, Bobby Flay, Wharton Faculty and Ken Blanchard. Check it out at http://www.learningwiki.com
Upcoming Courses at The MASIE Center:

* Performance Support Lab.
* Learning Systems 2008.
