In a series of posts on the Onlignment blog that has run throughout 2012, I have endeavoured to explain how transformation can take place in workplace learning and development.

October's Big Question at the Learning Circuits Blog addresses the application of games to workplace learning and in the process uses the word that everyone loves to hate - gamification. However contemporary and fashionable the word might be, the idea is, of course, anything but new.

Scenarios are a form of guided discovery; they encourage insights; they help to get across the big ideas. There will be other tools that need to be brought into action for the special cases: Learning journals (blogs) provide a way for a learner to record and share their reflections over a longer course of study.

Once you get in the swing of it, it is relatively straightforward to write a blog post. Of course you have to start with an idea but, once you get going, an hour (incidentally the time it takes to travel by train from Brighton to London) is more than enough. The reality, for me at least, is very different.

For those of us who have spent a number of years working in online learning, the idea that a group can collaborate asynchronously (not in real-time) on a learning activity is rather taken for granted - not so much 'old hat' as just nothing novel. Was it sufficiently speedy and flexible to be desirable? It was a last resort.

Unsurprisingly, those most likely to object to the idea of curation are those least likely to need it. Another argument against the idea of formal curation is that the capabilities of social media render it unnecessary. It's generally acknowledged that only one in a hundred writes a blog or starts up a new thread on a forum.
