1. Second City at Learning 2008 - Humor, Comedy & Learning: We just received exciting news. Second City, that wonderful comedy institution in Chicago, will be featured several times at Learning 2008. One of our CONSORTIUM Members, Farmers Insurance, has created a very different approach to e-Learning using the talents of Second City Communication. You will experience them live and on-line at Learning 2008. In these tough times, comedy and humor can go a long way to make learning more impactful. Second City will add a unique perspective to Learning 2008. Save $100 by using our Advanced Registration Rate: http://www.learning2008.com
2. First 3 Minutes of Learning - Comments from the Field: We received over 100 comments from readers of TRENDS about the power of the first 3 minutes of a learning experience (online or in a classroom). Here are a sample of these comments. Check out the comments at http://www.masieweb.com/3minutes I will be doing a PodCast in the coming months with design tips for launching learning offerings.
3. Geeks on Tour: An RV pulled up at The MASIE Center in Saratoga Springs yesterday with the provocative labeling of “Geeks On Tour”. Chris and Jim Hurd travel around the United States all year in their unique RV, providing computer training and support for RV’ers. They will pull into a campground, conduct computer training seminars, fix laptops and teach folks how to utilize wireless access. I had Chris as a speaker at a conference on training and support in 1990. It was so much fun to see her setup and nomadic lifestyle. Link to pictures and details: http://www.masieweb.com/rv
