1. Off to London Today! I am writing this in the Virgin America clubhouse at Newark Airport, getting ready to fly to London for a week of work, colleagues and some theater. In addition, we will be convening a Big Learning Data workshop in London on Monday, hosted by GSK, looking at how learning may be impacted by Big Learning Data.
There are still a few seats in the Learning Directions seminar that I will be leading in London next Tuesday. We are focusing on key issues such as Personalizing Learning, BYOD Learning (Beyond Mobile Learning) and many other topics about what is up and what is reducing in the world of learning. Information and last minute registration at http://www.masie.com
Also, would love to chat or meet up with our colleagues and readers in London. Send a note to me at emasie@masie.com
2. eBook to “L”-Book Lab: Just had a very exciting meeting at Bloomberg in New York City with 50 members of our Learning CONSORTIUM, focusing on improving the functionality of an eBook and how to turn it into a more learning centered “L-Book”. Senior executives from Adobe and Wiley, as well as leaders from IEEE, joined us in a deep dive into the future of eBooks. We will be working on this issue in the coming months and will place all of our work and findings in the public domain.
The thrust of our conversations was to see the eBook of the future as a dynamic container that would include text, graphics, eLearning, assessment, personalization, access to social interactions, richer media like video and the ability for learners to construct their own performance support pages in the process. If you are working on eBooks in your organization, I would love to hear from you. Just write to emasie@masie.com
3. TeleWork 2013 Registration Open: We are very excited about the opening of the TeleWork 2013 registration process.
