The LAS blog is now also available at www.las-hq.com/blog. There is an explosion in tools, technologies and approaches to better working and forward-thinking organisations still need help negotiating and making the best creative use of them. That’s what we plan to spend the next 10 years and beyond doing.

My delivery method isn’t new (a blog article) but hopefully some of my message will be. It is my belief that great design underpins any form of creation. For example; writing this article is a form of design – the problem I am trying to solve is how to transfer ideas from my head into yours.

Micro-blogging services as a way to ask and answer questions. These might include: Short “surgery” webinars where learners can virtually drop in and ask questions. Social networks for learner-to-learner and learner-to-tutor communication. My advice always is to start simple and design something both effective and efficient.

These might be in the form of videos, blogs, games quizzes or even simulations. So what does microlearning look like in our world? Microlearning is short, bite-sized chunks of learning tightly focussed on essential skills or knowledge. More often than not, they’ll be delivered to a mobile phone.

These channels might include video, blogs, websites, games and more. Using transmedia, we could create a narrative around the learning objectives or organisational problem and then use different channels and platforms to tell different parts of the story.

I’ll be blogging about it as we progress, so watch this space. Before I knew it (over a few post conference drinks) I had nine people signed up for the project including some of the global leading lights in transmedia.

It’s being hailed as the future of storytelling where the story isn’t just a two hour film but is woven into a network of films, shorts, comic books, web sites, blogs, games and more in a way that is complementary, with each media platform contributing to the story as it does best.

Check out my previous blog posting here. Don’t know what transmedia is? It certainly seems to be transmedia conference season at the moment. After my trip to Geneva I was tempted by the Power to the Pixel London Forum 2010 held in the British Film Institute.

They can also upload documents, links, blog posts and other things that they have found useful in helping them to achieve their goals. Technology can assist with this in creating group and shared resources, where peers can share their experiences and knowledge and learn from each other.

The challenge with social networks is getting people to use them, so I made it mandatory that students review a number of other students’ assignments, write in their personal blog reflecting on their learning, and contribute to the weekly discussion topics.

The book ‘Brain Rules’ by John Medina was brought to my attention over a year ago when luminaries from the elearning industry, including Donald Clark and Clive Shepherd, began blogging about it. It had an intriguing multi-media website and was written in language that could actually be understood!
