First an admission. Around 18 months ago I was tasked by my boss to offer a smart and easy answer to the question “what do we mean by digital”? The question was asked in the context of creating a digital learning service. I admit that I have, as yet, not completed this task. This is… Continue reading Defining digital or what it isn’t.

The Bunker (Another brief thought from Learning Technologies 2016)
Last week, I posted about Slack and the possibilities it offers for learning to be brought into the flow of work via one of the most useful tools of work.

The urge to justify myself is upon me. Given the ease of expressing oneself this contribution needs some deliberate placing. So…this first post is an attempt to claim that position.
