Ben Thompson is smarter than I. This is made clear to me with almost every post he writes. The good thing is that the ideas he shares tend to jump my thinking forwards. In this piece, about the development of Social Media 2.0, a chord struck in my head about why L&D is stuck in… Continue reading Time to move beyond digital learning 1.0 and the virtual classroom?

Fear and anxiety or personal growth- which is most motivating for COVID times?
I have been spending a little time amongst content and resources addressing leadership, management and personal development recently. These are not my forte as a specialism but I do have some experience as a manager and as a person. Understandably, there is a lot of material being created and gathered around themes of working in… Continue reading Fear and anxiety or personal growth- which is most motivating for COVID times?
Is this the end of classroom training?
I was asked this question by a participant in an LPI Open Clinic session last week. (It’s a great format if anyone is thinking of hosting or participating: a themed session, open questions with one host and one lead speaker and a very lively and open chat room). So, to the question: Is this the… Continue reading Is this the end of classroom training?

So, this is not a white paper or serious position.… Continue reading What comes next? Possible signals of future value

What metrics do people use to analyse webinars? Here are some ideas that struck me after co-hosting one.
Learning is not being disrupted (it’s the reverse of that)

One of our great problems in the L&D world is that we often care more about… Continue reading Learning is not being disrupted (it’s the reverse of that)
Can L&D solve problems without using the C word (and the P word)?
If we don’t say ‘course’ or ‘programme’ can we say anything at all?
A bag of thoughts about Digital Transformation of learning
My thoughts are turning to Learning Live next week . (I am not alone). They are particularly gathering around one of the sessions I am chairing Digital Transformation: How to Make it Work for you. I was talking earlier in the week with another attendee and gathered some notes on a Google Doc on that… Continue reading A bag of thoughts about Digital Transformation of learning
Experience design – from user to learner or from learner to user?
The market for learning experience design is warming quite quickly. Actually, I think it is heating. Managers of modern learning organisations have realised that instructional design is no longer enough (if it ever was?) and experience design is what is required. Managers of traditional learning organisations appear to be livening to the prospect as well.… Continue reading Experience design – from user to learner or from learner to user?
