I'm not sure if other people are seeing this, but based on a bunch of conversations and calls, it appears that there is a wave of new startups being created right now and the trend is accelerating. Because of my background working with leading startups, e.g., eHarmony, MyShape, LoanToolbox, etc., my background in eLearning, and the fact that I'm a CTO-type person, I may get more of these kinds of calls, so I'm curious if other folks are seeing this as well.

It is slightly tragic that I have spent much of my adult life on committees, from student societies to residents’ associations to industry bodies. As Athletic Union Chairman at the University of Bristol, I remember the extreme joy that was chairing/ sitting on 14 different committees. This experience has led to my new contribution to social science: “The committee member life cycle.” I hope one day this will be seen as the naughty little brother of the Forming, Storming, Normin

For a while, I've been trying to figure out how eLearning 2.0 relates to KM 2.0 and Enterprise 2.0 - certainly there is a LOT of cross-over between what's being discussed. Well funny enough, it turns out that: DevLearn 2007 & KM World 2007 are both in San Jose, Nov. 6-8. Even both in the downtown area. Maybe we can recruit some of the KM bloggers who are attending to come join us for Beer and Bloggers on Nov. 7.

Well, it´s the final day of the ICL conference here in Villach, Austria. It´s clouding over again, and there is a rumour of rain. It pelted down last night, and I was glad that all the events, including the splendid conference dinner (sponsored by the Mayor of Villach, who failed to appear) were located in the same silubrious venue of the Congress Centre and Holiday Inn Complex.

I just saw a blog that appears to have been created solely as a means to interact, capture thoughts and ideas during the Brandon Hall Innovations conference. It's a great way for folks not at the conference to have a sense of what's going on there. And, I bet it is a fantastic learning and networking experience for the blogger. Kudos to the BH folks for encouraging this even if there were issues.

Well here goes nothing. This is my first post on my first blog. Yesterday I had the pleasure of speaking with Tony Karrer, and through this conversation I learned a couple of things in addition to some great information about LMS's. Outside of LMS's I learned how ignorant I am when it comes to Web 2.o and E-Learning 2.0, and I learned that there is a lot of advantages to poking around the internet as opposed to spending most of your time reading trade magazines.

I just came in from Midhurst , West Sussex (old country), London. The place reminded me that humans have not changed through generations. People want to control things and their environment. While in flight, I finished reading Daniel Gilbert's book, "Stumbling on Happiness.” Gilbert is a Psychologist and Harvard professor. He says, to paraphrase, we want to control because it makes us feel safe and the process satisfies us.

I´m looking out over the river Drau, here in Villach, Austria. We´re in the Congress Centre for ICL 2007 - an impressive international conference focusing on all aspects of computer based/supported education and training. Villach is a beautiful little town in the South of Austria, and is nestled in between the mountains. Some of the papers so far have been challenging, others have been a little lacklustre, and one or two have been fairly dutiful in their presentation if not content.

It is important to me that the person selected has great communication skills because in my role I will be communicating with them frequently. I am basically the spokesperson for the application that they will be developing and it is my responsibility to filter and prioritize all feature requests and enhancements, so it is important that we can work well together.

To add to Clive Shepherd's 30-Minute Masters (Clive, Your Wiki is a great practice of user content sharing), there is a need to help trainers, SMEs , leaders, and speakers to isolate "Application Points" from a huge body of content. "Application Points" are those ideas that provide learners instant knowledge to meet working proficiency (not full proficiency) to help them do a task now, today.

As I prepare to spend my last night on the Catalan coast of France before crossing over to the Catalan coast of Spain, the issue of language is at the forefront of my mind. In France we do well because my wife, Sue, speaks a very passable French, but in Spain we will have to resort to pointing at things and hoping the locals speak English. Luckily, many do, at least in tourist spots, which is what most Brits (and Americans to be honest) rely upon.

BJ Schone just posted a great question about a particular situation. They are upgrading their PeopleSoft implementation. He tells us: I don't know much about the new system, but I understand that it is quite an overhaul; one estimate said we would need 80+ hours of face-to-face training. However, due to logistics, time, and money, it appears we will be training about 80% of these employees using a combination of self-study eLearning courses and webinars.

Published by the Education Sector, an independent education think tank in Washington, the paper provides an overview of online education at the high school level across the United States. Not surprisingly, the results are mixed; some jurisdictions are doing a fine job of providing alternative access to secondary education, and in others the quality is just not up to

You invest a lot of time and energy into building training courses for internal use and for your customers and partners. As your reach grows, so does the number of LMSs you need to deliver training to, often both externally and internally. And chances are, you want to deliver that content in a way that’s compatible with every LMS, manageable for administrators, and easy for learners to access.

This is the fourth walking holiday we've taken with InnTravel and they've all been fabulous. The great thing about a walking holiday is that you can eat and drink to your heart's content knowing that you're only replacing the calories you lost earlier in the day plodding up some mountain.

Based on my post - LMS Satisfaction Features and Barriers - I received some feedback that the numbers didn't correspond to what other research has shown. As a case in point, in my post I said: To me, it's interesting to see news like CornerStone OnDemand Raises $32M - Sept. 17 2007 - when their satisfaction score is being reported so low. That seems like a disconnect.

Can one create a great educational simulation around ethics? One should be able to in theory. One point of Sim is to make an experience that allows people to see the consequences of their Actions in a safe environment. If you made a pure "ethics" sim, however, then of course students would just always "do the right thing." It would be as useful as the official Enron Ethics Handbook.
