In the Learning Circuits Blog, the big question for October is "I'm interested in a career in e-learning. What should I do first?" My first recommendation would be to decide where it is that you see yourself fitting into the e-learning landscape - as a manager, a consultant, a salesperson for a vendor, a designer, a developer, or a moderator/instructor? You also need to be clear whether you see yourself working primarily in education or in workplace learning ... prefer a more informal, self-directed approach, start reading books, blogs and magazines and attending conferences.

The Learning Circuits Blog Big Question for September is not a question at all - it's an exploration of an idea raised by Jim Collins, in an essay in Learning Journeys. He wrote, “A true learning person also has a 'to-learn' list, and the items on that list carry at least as much weight in how one organizes his or her time as the to-do list.” Well I've always liked lists. Lists are what stop me from worrying what it is I'm supposed to be remembering. They free up my short-term memory, because I don't have to keep rehearsing what it is I'm supposed to remember; I know all ...

Back in March 2007, in response to that month's Big Question, I told a story about one of my favorite bosses - Rick Yeatman - and the things he did that made him a great manager.I received an e-mail from him today thanking me for the post.Apparently, a friend of his had found this blog, read the post and notified him.He found my work e-mail and dropped me a line.He's happily working at the Savannah College of Art and Design - where he doesn't have to fight with the football team for money.Such is the power of Web 2.0 technologies. And Rick - you don't have to thank me for a thing.

The Big Question The Learning Circuits Big Question this month is about learning professionals, leadership, and literacies. Tony breaks it down as several questions, but the Learning Revolutionary summed all the questions up nicely: Should learning professionals be leading the charge around new work literacies such as social media and informal learning?
