In the Learning Circuits Blog, the big question for October is "I'm interested in a career in e-learning. If you prefer a more informal, self-directed approach, start reading books, blogs and magazines and attending conferences. What should I do first?" The sources for this will vary enormously from country to country.

The Learning Circuits Blog has started up its monthly Big Question again and the question, perhaps appropriately as we see out what remains of the year, is 'what did you learn about learning in 2007?' You consult your network, you explore available resources, you may even document what you find for the benefit of others.

The Big Question for March on the Learning Circuits Blog is 'what is the scope of our responsibility as learning professionals?' I don't regard this question as just a topical response to the increased interest in informal learning - it's an issue that has been there as long as we have had learning professionals.
