I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking and talking about business-to-business (b2b) customer education recently. My comments here are particularly focused on software/webware, but the principles are just as relevant to other tech sectors as well as service-based industries and equipment suppliers.
i find a johari-square analysis to be particularly helpful to understanding where real value in generated via customer education. in this post i will focus my comments on the training... Read Full Story

the trend over the past four or five years has been for the training profession to refer to itself as the learning profession. While I agree in many ways with this trend (see training vs. learning), i do believe that sometimes we get a bit too myopic in your view of the work of workplace learning. As i argued in my post on Learning Circuits Blog, We’re #3, we’re #3!, training is often not the most effective learning function in an organization. This is particularly true in the realm of...

my little hiatus from blogging over the past six months provided me with a number of interesting issues to contemplate, but the one that caught me most off guard was this question:
do readers really care if i post or not?
why would i ask this question? a quick look at some of my blog statistics for eelearning will clue you in. Here’s a chart of the activity on eelearning here on wordpress. I my last post before my sabbatical was the middle of September. But readership of eelearning... Read Full Story

Check out the first work/learn blog carnival event on dave’s blog.
Manish Mohan has taken on the task of hosting the next event on his blog Life, The Universe, and Everything about eLearning and Content... Read Full Story

another interesting bit of data is a listing of the most popular posts on eelearning since i moved over to wordpress. i’m pleased to see that my posts regarding exemplars in elearning are numbers 1 and 2. What astounds me is that in 4th is my my post on learning theory resources, my very first post to eelearning. in 5th is my 3rd post which was links to evaluation resources.
As I said in my last post, it would seem to show, at least among my readership, that people are at least as much... Read Full Story

how do you explain an impromptu seven month hiatus from blogging activity? the best one i’ve come up with so far is the line my mother always used when i slept in late or caught an unplanned nap in the afternoon. “well you must have needed it.”
it’s as good an explanation as i can come up with.
After four years of blogging on eelearning, three years managing learning circuits blog, a job search that was not working (it seems be going much better today), personal finances that reflected the... Read Full Story

this month’s big question on learning circuits blog is a topic close to home for me. Tony Karrer’s question is simple, Where to work?
since i’ve been involved in a somewhat prolonged job search having decided that the consulting schtick isn’t quite right for me - at least for now - i’ve spent alot of time thinking about what the ideal, and not so ideal, workplace for me might be like.

Every once in a while I bump into an article or piece of research that I’ve read before, but have allowed to drift into the dark recesses of my long-term memory. fortunately, such an occasion is always an opportunity to revisit the ideas presented in the article - usually with a new mind set. today it happened with john taylor gatto’s against school - a powerful and damning condemnation of modern american schooling that was published in harper’s magazine in september 2003. if you haven’t...
