Learning Innovations

Godfrey Parkin, Jun 15, 2005

After the CSTD conference a few weeks ago in fredericton I went travelling to Ontario, PEI and Alberta while most of the rest of the speakers (it seems) went to this "small highly-focused symposium" put together by the "US Naval Education and Training Command." We dispersed from New Brunswick with pretty much the same message, which I have summarized recently under the heading of E-Learning 2.0. What's interesting, as Godfrey Parkin notes, is that among the presentaters offering this radical new picture of learning was a staid IBM employee wearing the red tie and talking about e-learning in places like banks. "If Big Blue is advocating this approach, and is actively setting about trying to get it to work in its clients’ cultures as well as its own, then there is something serious going on."
