Yes its true...I'm getting ramped up for the eLearning Guild's DevLearn 2008 conference coming up next week in San Jose, CA. Brent Schlenker has already set up a Twitter hash tag ( #DL08 ) and I'm sure more social media will be coming online. Part of my excitement is about the next iteration of " The Great ILS Challenge " that we'll be putting on. For those of you unfamiliar with the Challenge, I should explain that the idea for it is a direct and conscious ... I'm greatly looking forward to his effort.
