Blogging up a storm this week is Harold Jarche, reporting on the ASTD conference now taking place. He refers us to this fascinating discussion taking place on Jay Cross's website in which, in response to the conference, Hal Richman says "I am beginning to see the collaboration thing as a clash of civilizations. There is a thread running through the LMS/training outsourcing world that sees people as input/output devices to be trained. Informal learning and collaboration are for quiche eaters." I am inclined to agree with this assessment - I place myself on the 'collaboration' side of the house (actually, I think there's more to it than just that) and find a disconnect between the way I approach things and the way the learning design commununity as a whole approaches things. Jarche also points to Mark Oehlert's coverage of the conference.
