Magazines in the newsstand are now as readable as their print equivalents and I'm not now expecting to renew any go my hard copy magazine subscriptions. In fact I will undoubtedly read more magazines than ever before, as many now include audio and video. Web browsing is as clear as on any desktop.

Couple that with Apple’s Newsstand app, which makes it easy to find and subscribe to publications, and you’ve got a powerful argument for accessing magazines digitally rather than in print. In the case of my Sound-on-Sound magazine, you can listen to mixing and mastering samples. You save on the trees.

According to an article in last Saturday's Guardian , research conducted at Columbia University and reported in Science Magazine shows just how much people have come to rely on the internet as 'an external memory source that we can access at any time'. In one experiment, participants were given pieces of information to type into a computer.

Interestingly it was a simple republishing of a column I had written for a magazine. I write in the style of a magazine column, albeit shorter. That's roughly 10 posts a month. My first - post I - was called Bringing e-learning into the 21st century. I aim to write twice a week. I don't accept guest postings. I don't accept ads.

I read a lot in the course of my work - blog posts, reports, books, magazines - but in reality I'm just skimming at great speed, looking for highlights. I can't remember the last time I sat down and properly studied any piece of non-fiction. Why is this?

The source material hasn't changed a great deal in form - web pages, PDFs, books, magazine articles, handwritten notes - but the way I process this certainly has. When I get a new book or magazine with useful material inside, I type or copy in my notes straight away, tag them and they're instantly archived.

If the learner is quite happy reading magazines or books, then the problem is unlikely to lie in too many words. Is it because it requires people to do too much reading? Possibly, for some people, although e-learning doesn’t have to involve a lot of reading.

As the authors point out, if you went by the themes of most l&d conferences, blogs and magazines, then you’d believe the classroom was in terminal decline and that self-paced e-learning tutorials were being fast replaced by games, sims, 3D worlds, and all forms of social and collaborative learning, much of it mobile.

L&d people may simply never get to hear about the free resources available because these are not advertised in magazines or shown at exhibitions. This is not a free service, but it does reduce the costs to any one local authority significantly. And we should never forget the power of the 'not invented here' syndrome.
