Knowledge, Learning, Community
There has been a fair bit of discussion on the elearningleaders mailing list about the new American Society for Training and Development (ASTD) Manifesto. One commentator suggested - and I agree - that it's a bit much for any organization to claim that they will "lead the dialogue about the future of learning and performance." And some of the content, others suggested, is a bit, well, out there: "As every student of genetics knows, marrying outside the clan strengthens the gene pool." But hey - full marks to ASTD for putting their thoughts and their visions up on the web for all to see. This whole business is about risk, and I'm glad to see ASTD is willing to take a few.
