If you have been following this blog then you may recall the posting DSpace Content Repository - Tuesday, April 12, 2005 , where I reported that the system was now fully installed and rolled out for user access.

Gladwell - TED Talk - Malcolm Gladwell talks about providing choices that people don't even know that they want. Barry Schwartz takes aim at a central belief of western societies: that freedom of choice leads to personal happiness. In Schwartz's estimation, all that choice is making us miserable. We set unreasonably high expectations, question our choices before we even make them, and blame our failures entirely on ourselves.

I spent about 25 minutes trying to make my avatar look sort of like me. Its sort of me-ish. Then I wandered around Orientation Island, which gets boring fast. And then I teleported myself over to Brandon Halls Education Island.

A couple of days ago I reported that YouTube was under fire (see post below). Well, the dock is getting a little crowded, because now I hear that FaceBook is in trouble too. It's been reported on the BBC News that the social networking website has had 6 major British companies withdraw their advertising from its site. These are big spenders including Virgin Media , Halifax Bank and Vodafone.

I was doing some benchmarking the other day between a few different organizations. One question that was asked was, what are the "no-brainer" groups of employees to train? (And there may be a second question, what are the no-brainer topics to train, like leadership, ethics, sexual harassment, etc). To me, the obvious groups are: new employees ; high potential people ; call center employees ; sales people; and anyone who has to have certification or compliance ; anyone who has to demonstrate a ma

Erika, our guide for ProtoSphere, talks to the group. This week's class proved to be exciting as we got a guided tour of ProtoSphere from Erika of ProtonMedia , used the VOIP in Second Life and had a group challenge where teams of students (dressed as fire fighters) cleaned up make believe chemical spills in teams of 4 or 5. The idea behind that exercises was to help them learn how teamwork principles can be applied in a 3D world to help with team building, cooperation and coordination.

UK teachers have made a call to ban YouTube from British schools. They claim that YouTube makes it easier for bullies to send abusive e-mails and texts to their victims. This relates to a blog I posted about happy slapping in February. You can read the original BBC News article to get more details. Hmmm. My initial thoughts are that shutting down access to YouTube (or any other web based social networking space) merely shifts bullying activities onto another medium.

We are all faced with a hobbling paradox. Most agree that employees make or break an enterprise, but the HR team often seems to be constantly catching up. Business leaders complain that they have to "break in" new HR people, and that individuals with HR degrees in college are not overly useful. Finally, when business leaders do praise HR, it is an individual person who gets praised, not the department.

Part of learning is expanding your mind and understanding different perspectives or points of view. One extremely effective way of doing that is to "walk a mile in the other person's shoes" in other words.experience life as the other person does. This is sometimes much easier said than done since adopting another's view point can be difficulty and incomplete if done superficially.

Still the debate goes on. Which is the best, MySpace or FaceBook? And where is Bebo in all this? I know I have already been on my hind legs ranting about this, but I'm coming back to it, as it seems so many are interested in it.

I hadn't intended to sign up with Facebook. I'm not sure whether anyone does. But Bill Brandon, the editor of Learning Solutions eMagazine for the eLearning Guild invited me to become his friend and, being a well brought-up boy, of course I said yes. Within one hour I had uploaded my entire email contact list, invited everyone I knew to be my friend and I was well and truly sucked in.
