1. Social Learning Research - Please Take 10 Minute Survey: This is a research project by Hyunkyung Lee, a doctoral scholar from South Korea who has been working as a Fellow at The MASIE Center. Your comments will greatly move her research forward in this important field. This survey takes less than 10 minutes to complete. Our goal is to gather information about reasons and methods to use Social Learning in organizations. In addition, we focus on the types and tools of Social Learning activities, Social Learning in instructional design, and also hurdles and future plans of Social Learning.

2. Malcolm Gladwell Video Interview Excerpts: We have just released video excerpts of my interview with Malcolm Gladwell, author of “Outliers” and “The Tipping Point”, from Learning 2009. Malcolm talks about some of the key issues of learning, culture, expertise and impacts of automation. The video clips are viewable at: http://www.learning2010.com/gladwell
3. Malaria Griots - A Learning Project with Bono’s ONE Campaign: The MASIE Center has been supporting a new project focused on Malaria by training future spokespeople and advocates through an online program. If you would like to dive deep into the issue of Malaria - and work with Malaria No More and The ONE Campaign - consider becoming a “Griot”: a storyteller with deep impacts.
