Since I'm likely not going to be blogging for about a week starting Friday, I thought I'd get an early jump on this month's Big Question from LCB - ILT and Off-the-Shelf Vendors - What Should They Do? There's really a lot at stake in this question in that it goes far beyond the question. Probably not well.

The May Big Question in the Learning Circuits Blog is What will workplace learning technology look like in 2015 ? Managers have started to question the money spent on traditional training, the time this absorbs, and to some extent the environmental impact. So, can the next five years break this pattern? Just maybe.

In 2009 I predicted : Most of the cool stuff (informal learning, social media, games and sims, mobile learning) will have to stay on the back burner, because management will simply not be interested in experimenting.
