My colleagues and I recently submitted a paper/presentation for the International Association of Bomb Technicians and Investigators (IABTI) Conference. This was their annual training and technology conference. We presented on some of the training programs we are working on, and we also gave a primer on trends in the learning field.One of the more remarkable things was a simple question asked by my colleague. Presenting to a room of about 100 people, she asked who had heard of "Web 2.0". Guess how many people raised their hands? 2. I think we picked the right audience to give ...

Corporate eLearning Strategies and Development - Wednesday, January 9, 2008 - CommentsValue of Predictions
I've been reading a few posts on 2008 predictions. Stephen Downes wrote a post that critiqued and graded several of the 2007 predictions. It was an interesting read, but I found myself agreeing with some of the concerns Karl Kapp raised about the whole grading activity...especially the portion of grading your own prediction. Stephen gave himself an A-; however, his "prediction" on the trend of video continuing in popularity is very much of the "more of the same" prediction that he criticizes other people for. Also, since the personal learning environment didn't happen (which he said it ...

eLearning Technology - Thursday, January 3, 2008 - CommentsThe big question: What are your predictions for learning in 2008
In addressing this month's question on the Learning Circuits Blog, I was tempted by an observation made by Stephen Downes in his review of last year's eLearn Magazine predictions: ... there are two major types of predictions: one, which identifies a current trend, and says it will continue; and the other, that identifies something novel or unexpected. It seems clear that the former predictions are easy and safe and not especially useful. The latter, while not as safe, were much more useful to people. Guarded because, like Oscar Wilde, I know I can resist anything except temptation, ...
Clive on Learning - Thursday, January 3, 2008 - CommentsMy Crystal Ball is Fuzzy
Mad respect for those who can get their heads around trends in eLearning and predict what 2008 will bring. I suspect my lack of forward vision is directly related to the major changes that have occurred in my career recently. Tough to predict the future when you are not entirely certain what is going on in the present.I'm still seeing noise about community, social applications, visual thinking and games. Still seeing lots of navel gazing about definitions (web 2.0, 3.0, community) and what to do next. I don't have the mental bandwidth to contribute to those conversations right now.
