1. Results: Can We e-Learn at Our Desks?
2. Input Desired: Characteristics of a Learning Leader.
3. Learning Industry User Groups: 24 Industries!
1. Results: Can We e-Learn at Our Desks? Several weeks ago, I asked for your input on: "Can workers really learn via e-Learning at their work desks?"
We had hundreds of responses from around the world and the responses were "all over the map". The most common response expressed concern about the ability to learn in-depth topics at the workplace desktop. Folks generally felt that procedures could be learned but as the content got more complex or behavioral, it was harder. The phrase "It Depends" was rampant. Here is a large summary of the responses:

2. Input Desired: Characteristics of a Learning Leader: On Sunday, 30 learning leaders will gather at The MASIE Center in Saratoga for a 4-day intensive Learning Leaders Academy, co-led by Nigel Paine. I would love your input (and will share the results on Tuesday):
"If your organization were to be recruiting a new Learning Leader (CLO or Head Learning Officer), what would be the most important characteristics of this new leader?" (Skills, Attitudes, Experience or Style)
Send me short, confidential comments to emasie@masie.com These will be shared with our group and posted on TRENDS. Thanks
