We share knowledge on Twitter, contribute to discussions on LinkedIn, read books, write blogs, comment on blogs, subscribe to industry magazines, share links to online articles, watch videos, and participate in MOOCs. This is a point that I fear many of our peers fail to grasp. You see, we love learning. but apparently it works.

OK, how about the number of blog visitors, blog comments or RSS subscribers? Among Bob’s e-learning movers and shakers, 90% write a blog. All of them have a Twitter account, and 80% attract a following of over 1000. To me, though, the true influencer occupies the top of the food chain.

I had read a few blog posts by Dave Cormier (the godfather of the philosophy) and I follow the intrepid Soozie Bea (a card-carrying disciple), but unfortunately I missed Dave’s #rhizo14 mooc earlier in the year. Since I’ve been blogging about the semantics of education lately, I thought it high time to dig a little deeper.

But alas, since writing the article I have racked up a number of other bugbears to which sales reps wittingly or unwittingly subject me and, no doubt, other prospective clients. I’m active on Twitter and I write this blog, so why not engage with me on these platforms first?

I’m referring to things like: • Blogs. Whatever topic you care to nominate, odds are some expert somewhere in the organisation can write about it, talk about it, film it, or present a slideshow about it. • Slides. • Videos. • Podcasts. • Webinars. • Social networks. • E-Journals.

It’s something I remembered while writing my last blog post about user-generated content. That’s the view of some user-oriented design proponents. Whereas that post explored the role of the learner in the content development process, how about their role in the broader instructional design process?

At the time of writing this blog, over half the respondents have chosen “No” Assuming they are all L&D professionals, the extrapolation means most of us don’t think the 70:20:10 model is relevant to our work. And I’m shocked by the results.

I have been blogging for some time now, and I can honestly say that it’s been a growth journey. I started blogging primarily for myself – essentially to organise and articulate the thoughts in my own head. Recently, a few people have been asking me for blogging advice, mainly around getting started. Guiding principles.

Suddenly SMEs are back in the game… Write up a Word doc and convert it? Not to mention blogs, wikis, discussion forums and social bookmarks. Just like a typical online course, without the fancy software or specialist skills. Anyone (and I mean just about anyone ) can create and update a PDF. Update the Word doc and re-convert it?
