Jay Cross got me straight on fraudulent information concerning the effectiveness of learning methods. Will Thalheimer who has a great blog with research-based commentary on learning and performance got some mails out on this topic and ... those mails surely got me gasping for air. In a previous presentation I have mentioned William Glasser and I put in statistics that I thought he used to divide learning methods. Some of those circulating statistics turn out to be myths linked to professional names like Glasser and others. The first post in which ...

Harold Wilson once famously remarked that 'a week is a long time in politics'. Well, for that remark to make sense you have to be able to compare it with something - how about 'ten years is no time at all in learning and development'. I enjoyed Daniel Wain and Graham O'Connell's session, Ten Years of Changing Trends in Learning and Development at the CIPD's HRD 2008 show in London this week, mainly because both presenters were honest enough to admit that not much had changed at all. Now we have to put this in perspective, in that the session was an analysis of ten years of ...

The Annual Survey Report for 2008 on Learning and Development from the Chartered Institute for Personnel and Development (CIPD) presents a confusing picture on the status of e-learning in the UK. The CIPD sent surveys to 5000 of their members who have the role of l&d manager and received 729 responses. Of these, half were private sector and half public/voluntary. 55% worked for organisations with less than 1000 employees, while only 20% represented organisations with more than 5000 employees. CIPD is the leading HR professional body in the UK, with 130,000 members. It would be fair ...

NASA wants to start a MMO ( Massive Multiplayer Online game ) as an educational game. This certainly goes towards a full laboratory simulation if you ask me. It surely looks promising, or as they say it: "The idea of the MMO educational game is to present NASA content in such a way as to draw students into science, technology, engineering, and mathematics learning and to spark interest in STEM-oriented careers." You've gotta love this idea! The effort is a partnership between NASA Learning Technologies and the Innovative Partnerships Program , which is run out of NASA's Goddard ...
