Its difficult to read an eLearning journal, or go to an eLearning conference lately, without someone talking about rapid eLearning. Well, there is a very good reason for this and, although it sounds trite, it is as true as ever.TIME = MONEY.

It was for an eLearning development project for which I knew our firm could have done a terrific job. Don't get me wrong, I am not expecting work to land on our doorstep, and I know you have to prove yourself and compete for work every day.

Most would agree that Twitter was one of the social networking phenomena of 2008, and has enjoyed exponential growth in popularity. The microblogging tool has obvious potential to be used in formal learning, both in traditional online classroom settings and - through mobile technologies - for mobile learners.

In a recent conversation, I was asked what I thought about twitter as a learning tool. Over the course of the past few years I’ve moved from saying “I don’t get it” – to feeling like it’s a good addition to my Learning Tool Set.
