I ran across a link to an article on Learning Circuits - Rapid E-Learning Grows Up and I apologize, because I can't remember where I found this link. While the author, Joe Fournier, and I share some opinions, I think we differ a bit on where things are heading longer-term. Let me walk through this. Especially by SMEs?

The recent article by Dion Hinchcliffe - Blogs, wikis, and Web 2.0 I've seen the Content Authoring Research Report from the eLearningGuild that suggests what tools are being used in 2005 and it suggests that most content is being authored using fairly traditional tools such as Flash, PowerPoint, Dreamweaver, Captivate, Lectora.

Where do authoring tools, LMS fit? I just saw that there was a Wikipedia article on the Conceptual Economy talking about Pink, Friedman and other perspectives on the move towards greater cognitive oriented work - more judgment and interpretation - more conceptual. And the list goes on. What about eLearning 2.0?

that talked about a recent NY Times article When It Comes to Innovation, Geography Is Destiny. Reading the articles and the comments is probably worth it, but I personally think that the NY Times is overstating the advantage of being in Silicon Valley. I ran across a post in Read/Write Web - Does Location Matter in Web Innovation?

My earlier article that catalogs some of these concerns I think is still valuable, though it too misses much. Your article is a good one to go back to - although I have some disagreements with things in the article and we both I think are challenged with figuring out exactly what we can and should do around measurement of this stuff.

I read an interesting article over on Learning Circuits entitled HCM Maturity Model. As you move up the maturity model you get into bigger and more centralized solutions with the ultimate solution being an all-you-can-eat tool. Oh, did I mention that the author comes from Saba ? A good company, but an obvious bias.

As stated by one article: The knowledge management and capabilities literatures are in love in love with tacit knowledge.

Interesting question posed in eLearn Magazine article: How Long Should an E-learning Course Be? Interestingly the author chooses to sidestep the question he poses and instead gives a direct answer to a different question (focusing on modules that are parts of a course): What is a good length for a module?

In reference to my article Captivate File Size Tricks for Software Training via Simulations , I was just asked: I was hoping you could answer a real easy question for me? All that said, one of the bigger reasons for splitting up the files is just authoring / managing large files in Captivate itself.

Long Live – is actually an important issue being raised through this discussion that I'll get to below… Let me start with the fact that Saul and his article made no attempt to directly engage with any of the "bloggers" who he so quickly lumps together and dismisses. eLearn Magazine suggests this is some kind of vetted "Feature Article".

what do you feel you get by using MyBlogLog, Explode, or other tools? What's sorely lacking in the combination of these tools is full support for Blog Discussions. Some authors link to the original post, some don't. Tools like TailRank and Megite theoretically helps with this problem by tracking particular threads.
