I attended the two day conference on Game Based Learning held earlier this week in London. This was the second edition of the conference and had a decent 400+ delegate presence. Overall I was quite pleased to have attended the two day conference. Here are some of my impressions of the conference.

Mark Berthelemy’s in his reflections on the event talked about the ‘ disconnect ’ between what was happening at the conference and at the exhibition area. In another comment, Robin Hoyle (who exhibited at the Learning Technologies 2010) mentions that vendors were not allowed to present at the conference – surprising but true!

We’ve gone from attending eLearning conferences to mLearning conferences; it’s just around the corner from mLearnCon 2011. It’s been a trying time of the year; erratic schedules, vacations and finding time to introspect has meant I’ve not blogged over the last month or so.

Conferences: Lately we have been attending various conferences to get it straight from the gurus and experts in the field. It is a great way to keep in touch with the latest thinking, while sometimes there is a disconnect between what the experts say at the conferences and what is being sold by the vendors in exposition areas.

Josh Bersin cites YouTube Videos as one of the best learning tools available in his session at the HR Technology Conference last week. I agree and see a bigger role for videos in the learning mix. Ten or fifteen years ago, video was used by most organizations for training.

Mobile Gaming Dominates Game Developers Conference. With retail video game sales smacked down by the rough economy and ever-growing competition in the crowded social and mobile game marketplace, it seemed like attendees at this week’s annual Game Developers Conference were more frustrated than birds catapulted at pigs.

Brinkerhoff’s (who I had an opportunity to listen to at the AITD conference in Melbourne in April 2013) arguments very compelling. Consequently, while many of our clients do ask, not many venture into it; and requiring organizational commitment and action as it does, it’s not something only we, as vendors, can entirely influence.

We don’t do business with virtual conference rooms, email clients, portals, or VOIP windows. We definitely do a lot of virtual conferencing, emailing, portal sharing, VOIP-ing… We bet many of you do too. But you know what? We do business with people. And that’s why, ultimately, relationships matter the most to us.

When an organization delivers formal learning, it makes sure that its trainees have the required technological setup—whether it’s a pair of headphones or sufficient bandwidth or a video conference setup. With informal learning, what should we assume to be the average level of technology that’s available to the learner?
