I've seen some really good examples of self-study e-learning in the past few weeks. First when I sat in for a day judging for The E-Learning Awards and second during the Demo Fest at DevLearn 2011 here in Las Vegas. We over-engineer for information transfer and we under-engineer for learning. Do less formal e-learning.

E-learning is twice as quick as the equivalent classroom training. This statement, quoted in Daniel Kahneman''s excellent Thinking Fast and Slow (Penguin, 2011), struck me like a bullet. You know: An organisation with a rich diversity of employees will be more effective in addressing the diverse needs of its customers.

The term e-learning may not be 25 years old but the concept certainly is and the volunteers at the eLN (formerly TACT - the Association for Computer-Based Training) have done a brilliant job of providing a forum for e-learning designers and professionals to share best practice.

The CIPD’s Learning and Talent Development Survey for 2011 has recently been released. So what does the survey tell us from an e-learning perspective? Blended learning is not on the list of options by the way. The use of e-learning is forecast to grow more than any other approach in both the public and private sectors.

This example shows Roger Schank speaking at Learning Technologies 2011. In the case of the second option that's a lot to look at, so the embeddable player provides the option of viewing the media component in a separate pop-up window.

Epic have begun their Summer 2011 debate. The motion this year is: “This house believes that as social learning increases, so the requirement for traditional training departments shrinks”. It is acknowledged that 80-90% of what people learn at work is learned informally. I am speaking against the motion.

Here at DevLearn 2011 in Las Vegas I've got authoring tools on my mind. It borrows much of the Microsoft Office look and feel, including the ribbon interface, so it's easy to learn, but inherits none of the limitations. Apart from games, e-learning is one of its last remaining niches. First up is Storyline from Articulate.

This time last year, I wrote the following in the Onlignment blog under the heading Why I’m not going to speak from a script again : For some reason, there are lessons that take a long time to learn – however often an action leads to negative consequences, you just seem bound to repeat it. As a natural speaker, my father is my model here.
