Here at Learning Technologies 2010 I chaired a fascinating session looking at the learning applications of social media, presented by Jane Hart and British Telecom’s Peter Butler. There was a lot of interest in the BT case study and we ran out of question time, but luckily there are plenty of web resources that will allow you to follow up.

But having spent some time now immersed in The Power of Pull by John Hagel III, John Seely Brown and Lang Davison (2010), I'm convinced that conferences will have an important role to play for years to come. The reason?

What is the future of e-learning for 2010? How do see e-learning helping to overcome the cost pressures facing particularly the public sector at the moment?

It's called White Space is not Your Enemy and it's by Kim Golombisky and Rebecca Hagen (Focal Press 2010). It's because I've just finished reading a great new book on visual design. As you would expect, this is a lavishly illustrated book, so it won't read well on a Kindle (but might do on the new, hi-res iPad).

As the philosopher Mary Midgley remarks in The Solitary Self (Acumen, 2010): "Although we all need some solitude and independence, total isolation is for us a desolate and meaningless state. I'd imagine celebrities must feel the same - while they moan about all the intrusions, they dread being out of the public eye.

The Towards Maturity Impact Indicator released in March 2010 and based on UK findings, demonstrated many real benefits of e-learning to employers. Let’s take the first of these approaches, the self-study tutorial, because that’s what most workplace l&d people associate with the term ‘e-learning’.

The Towards Maturity 2010 Benchmark Report has confirmed what you would have expected to come out of a severe recession in terms of e-learning. Here's my interpretation: Live, group, face-to-face courses are being converted lock, stock and barrel into self-paced, self-directed, online courses as a panic solution to a lack of funds.

In 2010 I took this analogy a step further, when I posted why we're all headline writers now : ". It soon also became clear that blogging had become the domain of a select bunch of die-hard enthusiasts and was never going to become a tool for the masses, for whom Facebook status updates and tweets are more than adequate forms of expression.

First off, it’s worth noting that Saba does not seem to have been suffering like so many of its competitors through the downturn: It gained 113 new customers in 2010, which was a record year.

Those entering the workforce in 2010 have overcome these barriers and have higher expectations. For too long, employees have been spoon-fed their education and their training, and have failed to develop as independent learners to the extent that they should have done.
