Clive on Learning - Thursday, June 26, 2008 - Comments"Humans are suckers for scale" - The Art of Simplexity
In the June 23, issue of Time Magazine, page 61, the article on "The Art of Simplexity" states:"A houseplant, with its microhydraulics and fine-tuned metabolism, may be more complex than a manufacturing plant." "Humans are suckers for scale. Shock and awe should win a war, until an insurgency beats it back." This leads me to think that in the training industry, we tend to think of scale. Case in point:> The rush to apply the newest gadgets (e.g. Social Learning, Rapid Learning, Mobile learning, etc.) to the biggest number of participants.> Anything that has to be implemented must be ...

Corporate eLearning Strategies and Development - Monday, June 9, 2008 - CommentsStarting Slowly with mLearning
Over the past few weeks I’ve built a few small mobile learning (mLearning) applications and I’ve learned several lessons along the way. Here’s a brief recap: First, as I’ve mentioned before, the point of mLearning is not to create a 45-minute course that can be accessed on a cell phone. mLearning is best used for performance support: quick, easy look-up tools for your learners are a good place to start. Second, it’s easier than I originally thought. I’ve found that a small web page - when formatted properly - can be the simplest way to start with ...
