Time after time in my recent workshops on web-enabled informal learning, I found myself using my own sites as examples of learning technologies. For example, we’d walk through the Informal Learning blog to look at an RSS feed, an internal search engine, scanning the 100 most recent posts, a Creative Commons license, and so on. I began showing things like my research tools page, which has always been public but was hidden in plain sight. Previously hard-to-find articles ... been darting around my blogs, wikis, and other online oddments adding labels and links. This is a tough exercise.

I'm a big fan of questions (see Better Questions for Learning Professionals) and as I'm preparing a workshop (Revolution in Workplace Learning) one of the things I stumbled upon is what seems to be a great new question:Given that eLearning 2.0 (web 2.0, wikis, blogs, social networking, etc.) represents new ways of supporting learning and work ... as a learning professional, what are the new questions that I need to ask as part of analysis?There must be new questions that we need to ask in order to figure out if and how eLearning 2.0 approaches apply to given performance improvement ...

They have "over a couple of thousand of video and audio clips that new hires and tenured employees are currently using for on-boarding and training." What they want to do is to help employees better access the video content. They've seen viddler which allows people to tag specific sections within the video. They are interested in that capability, but also in rating the videos, and ...

First of all, I do not respond personally to unsolicited email. Spam is generally an intrusion on my privacy, a time-waster, and a general nuisance. Before inquiring about my needs, do your homework.
