... eLearningGuild Con 2007, Boston, is done. I'm sitting in Logan with about 2hours to kill before my flight. The last few days were filled with incredible experiences and I didn't stop long enough to write down any of them, or blog them. So, here I sit trying to recall all of the goodness.

One of my 3 sessions at the upcoming eLearning Guild Conference in Boston is about RSS and eLearning . So, it was wonderful luck to find a great post from Alex Iskold on the Read/Write Web blog called The Future of RSS . "In short, because of RSS ubiquity it is now a very attractive delivery medium for all kinds of content. However because the basic format is simple and primitive, there is no way to encode semantics without building an extension. So in this post, we look at RSS today and ask if RSS is evolving into a tool for delivering complex, semantically rich information." ...

Are you going to the eLearningGuild Annual Gathering in Boston? If so, I've got a suggestion... At ASTD TK07 , I was invited by Jim Javenkoski (who created his blog during one of my hands on sessions) to a beer tasting event that he was doing on behalf of Unibroue .
