As a co-host, I am hardly without bias, but I found this morning’s opening of the free Corporate Learning Trends event fantastic. In spite of some childish hacker-vandals and a few sound issues, each of the three sessions this morning worked.

I’ve been in the learning business for forty years and have yet to meet someone who thinks tech will solve all training problems. Most corporate learning takes place informally in the course of doing the job, not in training courses away from the job. He’s looking in the wrong place.

I prefer calling the bookends of the spectrum of corporate learning… Traditional learning — institutional control, paternalism. Independent learning – demand-driven choice by the learner. Traditional learning is not better than independent learning or vice-versa; context determines utility.
