Here is this Month's ASTD Big Question: Second Life Training? If you were to develop a training island in Second Life, what kind of environment and artifacts would you consider essential for teaching? But first I want to say that we need to get away from thinking the only 3D learning envrionemnt is Second Life.

At the 2011 ASTD Techknowledge Conference , Allison Rossett presented results of a study that showed that most learning professionals say that the use of e-learning is important but that very few are actually implementing it. Simply put, blended learning combines live, face-to-face training with self-paced on-line training.

Last year, I did Hot Topics in Training - A Crude (but mildly interesting) Analysis where I analyzed the topics at Training 2005 and Training 2006 to determine what topics were emerging and fading. So, I'm doing it again this time based on the topics in Training 2007. Although people may debate this.

The latest Big Questio n on the ASTD Learning Circuits blog is designed to set the agenda for discussion over the coming months. Of course some needs will still have to be met using a face-to-face classroom approach, but that won't keep everyone who's currently a classroom trainer in a job, unless you want to earn half as much.

The recent ASTD study certainly bears this out. In 2009 I predicted : Classroom training will be decimated. Many classroom trainers will lose their jobs, become freelance and find that there is not enough work to go round, causing daily rates to tumble.

Failing to look at the classroom itself as a tool and to consider for what purpose that tool was created is a failing of perspective we can't afford. Because we're starting to do things like create virtual worlds with virtual classrooms in them. Why are teaching adults in classrooms? So what do I want right?

One of the first definitions for e-learning is ASTD's , who define it as covering a wide set of applications and processes, such as Web-based learning, computer-based learning, virtual classrooms, and digital collaboration.

It’s all a matter of learning, but it’s not the sort of learning that is the province of training departments, workshops, and classrooms. Most people in training programs learn only a little of the right stuff, are fuzzy about how to apply what they’ve learned, and never address who are the right people to know. ” [1].
