I had a great time this Saturday presenting to ISPI Los Angeles on eLearning 2.0. This presentation was somewhat similar to past presentations, but I've added a couple of new slides and concepts. I'm including my slides (via Slideshare below, but it misses a lot of what the discussions were really about).

On Wednesday, May 20th, I’m going to be presenting at an ASTD / ISPI event at Babson College.  It’s shaping up to be something pretty special, basically a half-day workshop on social learning and the use of social media / networking within overall learning strategy. Bill Cava of Ektron is covering the basic history of social media and networking.  I’m the second presenter.

Last week, I had the opportunity to present at a combined ASTD / ISPI Social Learning workshop.  A lot of it was a rehash of some of the other presentations I have done via webinars, but live and with an active audience.  I really like having a live audience.  Don’t get me wrong, webinars are great, but there is something more spontaneous and vibrant about the live experience.

How many of you would consider yourself an HPT professional?  Exactly.  That is why it is not an option.  That is why ISPI has a lower membership than either ASTD or the e Learning Guild (35K) (from what I understand).  This is backwards.  We should all be ISPI members and THEN ASTD or eLearning Guild members.... ...Tags: Selling Social Learning Social Learning SIG astd design elearning guild ispi LinkedIn.

Tonight at the ISPI conference in Orlando, I attended a tribute to Geary Rummler, who recently died after a long and distinguished career in the “Performance-Improvement Field.... Bottom line: I was touched and I’m motivated to learn more.
