It’s also a great place to get answers—better than Google searches sometimes—if the right people are following you. A good article by ASTD: Twitter As a Learning Tool. I personally believe that Twitter is a great tool to get access to knowledge and information—provided you follow the right people. Really. •.

The ASTD Big question this month is an annual question: What did you learn about learning in 2009? So, I teamed with alumni Robyn Defelice at Dishing Design and updated the article for ASTD. The Metro DC ASTD chapter asked me to do an interview about audio in e-learning and I linked to the interview and shared some of my notes.

The American Society for Training and Development (ASTD) has recently updated its competency model to include the use of social media. It is remarkable how fast ASTD updated its model; it’s a testament for how quickly things are moving. Facebook book does not direct more traffic online than Google because it is a waste of time.

In fact, a recent ASTD Learning Circuits article says it best: Most learning professionals agree that the critical weakness of their learning management system (LMS) is reporting.

However, this article in ASTD Trends does have some good points - and some great resources for futher review. It can be Googled. I'm still not convinced that "twittering" is a viable e-learning format. One good point: "Think before you tweet. Each tweet is a webpage. It’s forever."

According to ASTD, companies spend $15 billion per year on sales training, an enormous number when you consider that people do not find sales training very effective. A recent article in the Journal of Personal Selling and Sales Management suggests that sales training needs to be individualized, voluntary, and offered in various modes.

This month's ASTD Big Question is, again, a series of questions.

Apparently one BIG question is not enough for the learning and development community.

Q1 : According to research by ASTD , it takes approximately 45 hours of development time to create one hour of training. For example, Leading@Google is a great resource for author presentations of cutting edge leadership topics. One can find books, articles and Harvard Business Review case studies that cover just about any topic.

The spin is that you can accrue points by reading an article, taking a course, leaving comments, ranking content, completing an assessment and so on – varies among vendors. In my opinion it has outweighed its usefulness. Great for the 70’s, in 2014 not so much. Jargon has become universal in 2014. It isn’t always better.
