Hangout on Implementing Informal Learning this Saturday

Jay Cross

Josh Bersin, Elliott Masie, and Tony Bingham sing its praises. The CLOs reported “…there is little knowledge about how exactly to support informal learning.”. Informal learning is a top priority in most corporate L&D plans. L&D managers claim they don’t know what to do about informal learning. Join me to explore why.

Conferences can be better, a whole lot better

Jay Cross

Attendance at the events I examined (eLearning Guild, Masie, Training, ATD, Learning & Technology, Educa) is rising. Make this mandatory. Conference ends with plan for distributing ideas back to home organization and team. Business is good. John Seely Brown says every business model will be disrupted.

Origins of “eLearning”

Jay Cross

Elliott Masie's bio says he is "acknowledged as the first analyst to use the term e-Learning." You couldn't very well call this training. e + learning. No wonder eLearning sprouted up in many places. I awoke one morning in 1998 with the term in my head. I was not the only one. Elliott told me he first heard it at IBM.

The key to understanding what’s going on

Jay Cross

At Elliott Masie’s TechLearn in late 1998, I gave my first live presentation predicting the future of networked learning. A happy side effect is that tech people may be more likely to value these communities now that they’re not so keen on being millionaires next week through their own start-up. Jay’s first eLearning Talk.
