1. Online Learning Simulation for Uber! As a continual traveler, I have become a user of Uber, Lyft and other innovative ride/taxi/limo providers. My smartphone app allows me to order a car, see where it is and do all my transactions online. Now, Uber has added a Driver Uber Simulation app for prospective drivers (and even customers) to try out.
Try it out at: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/uberdrive-test-drive-your/id991154404?mt=8
And, here is an article on how Uber is using other simulations to help drivers maximize their earnings: http://venturebeat.com/2014/08/11/uber-simulated-a-city-to-teach-drivers-how-to-optimize-their-earnings/
2. Five Questions to Ask, Please! Help us “crowd-develop” Five GREAT questions to ask Chief Learning Officers and other learning leaders at Learning 2015. What are the 5 questions that I should ask several key CLOs from the main stage, as well as use for benchmarking conversations amongst our participants?
Take a few minutes and send us 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 suggestions of great questions that we can use for conversations with senior learning leaders. Quick survey at: http://www.learning2015.com/index.php/item/5-questions-please.html
3. Personal Curation - Read Later App: We are all inundated with more and more content and possible learning material. As I have spoken with learning colleagues around the world, they are all seeking technologies or approaches that would allow learners to “tag” content - regardless of the device being used - for a “Read or View Later” list.
Recently, I have experimented with a few and one that intrigues me is called Pocket. It allows a user to easily tag and personally curate content that might be reviewed later - with their own personally created tags. Check it out at http://www.getpocket.com There are free and premium editions - and we can imagine that many other apps like this will surface that are enterprise or work related. For me, it has allowed me to tag and not forget cool stuff that I can’t or won’t access now.
4. SPECIAL NOTE: There are four more spaces available in the Gamification & Learning LAB that begins at The MASIE Center in Saratoga Springs next week on June 23rd. Details at http://www.masie.com
