Yesterday, graduate student Matt Monahan and I presented at the Training 2008 conference. Our topic was "Learning in 3D." We had a great group of attendees who stayed with us for the entire 3 hours with no break. We had a lot to cover from how to navigate in Second Life to simple scripting with building, teleporting and designing Second Life training solutions in between.

At the end of 2006, I spent some time thinking about 2007 and wrote a post challenges and predictions for 2007. This was a great exercise and the fact that I had not considered my big challenges for 2008 made it harder to do my Conference Planning for ASTD TechKnowledge 2008. When I was writing that post, I told myself that I really needed to sit down and define what I see as some of my bigger challenges right now.

I spent last week in London at Learning Technologies Exhibition and Conference. The general mood amongst the vendors and attendees I felt demonstrated a confidence in the future at odds with the wider economic gloom that the media and city types would have us believe. While the longer term impact of globalisation and an overstretched financial sector will clearly affect us all, I wonder if we.

Recently, I was contacted by a company curious about whether or not they really need to be "more concerned with recruiting the so-called gamers than other generations." I answered "yes" and explained to them why it was important to focus in that area. Here is an excerpt from Gadgets, Games and Gizmos for Learning that explains some of my argument. Recruitment is a critical issue when it comes to transferring knowledge from the boomers to the gamers.

Dennis Coxe posted Let me tell you about.Excuse me, what were you saying? about an article: The Post-Literate Era: Planning Around Short Attention Spans. The article is more or less summarized in the following graphic: Dennis' point is that this points us to designing eLearning that is shorter and to the point. The advent of shorter attention spans that successful learning events need to engage the learner, but I think this concept has often been given lip service while the focus of most learnin

Their comments around Social Operating Systems is interesting: The issue, and what social operating systems will resolve, is that today's tools do not recognize the "social graph"-the network of relationships a person has, independent of any given networking system or address book; the people one actually knows, is related to, or works with.

I recently received a copy, through the Association for Learning Technology (ALT), of a fascinating publication sponsored by JISC called In their own words. The publication synthesises the outcomes of Phase 1 of JISC's Learner experiences of e-Learning studies, which set out to examine the phenomenon of e-learning from the perspective of the learners themselves.

Have you seen the movie Alien versus Predator? The Predators and Aliens built a sci-fi-like city under the Pyramids, where they hunted, hid and killed each other. If at all real, the sci-fi city reminds me about how the school of thought "ROI" wants us to believe that "ROI" is the 5th layer in Kirkpatrick's 4 Levels of Assessment. Kirkpatrick says, the 4th level is measuring training results.

WiZiQ have just launched their Live Class module for Moodle. This integrates their free web conferencing solution directly into Moodle, so Live Class sessions can be implemented as Moodle activities and students can have seamless access to synchronous events, within the context of a blended Moodle course. The WiZiQ virtual classroom tool runs in Flash and contains many (although clearly not all) of the features associated with expensive commercial systems.

I'm working in Cornwall all day today. I'm with a group of teaching assistants from primary schools who are in an ICT session. Some of the work they are doing on animation using Digital Blue cameras is very impressive, not least due to their great creativity and enthusiasm. Almost all of the group have opted for the Aardman Film style classic plasticine figures, and all have managed to work some kind of educational message into their little sequence of 'stop start' footage.

It has always been a paradox to me that, while I am essentially liberal in philosophy (if not outright libertarian), I am a strong believer in the power of markets to separate the wheat from the chaff. And as far as I'm concerned, market principles apply as much to e-learning as they do to automobiles, restaurants or plastic surgeons. How so? Well, while chairing a track at Learning Technologies 2008 last week, I found myself at odds with one of the speakers who, although a fervent supporter of
