Unfortunately, some very sad news in my family as my wife's father, a man beloved by everyone who met him, passed away on Thursday. The conference has a diverse attendee list and I was very much looking forward to my keynote presentation: Changes in Knowledge Work and Implications for Workplace Learning.

That’s great news. If you have questions about acceptable use of OCW materials, please contact us.

So, a few directors in Sales Communications continually look for interesting news and then create a piece that links to the article, provides a bit more background and helps the sales person have a good answer to questions around the piece.

That new breakthroughs in the field of cognitive science or neurobiology are shifting how we think about learning? Of course, now the bad news. That Gagne's Nine Events of Instruction is fundamentally flawed? And I'm not sure why that is. It would seem that we should be the best at this. Cobbler's shoes maybe?

I consume far less mainstream media – I don't watch the evening news, I skim the Sunday paper (3 hours has turned into 15 minutes), I'm watching less TV – but that's more a function of my kids keeping me busy. Good news is that with Safari and Kindle and things like that … pretty soon this will be a more natural integration.

The good news is that I've been able to rationalize the word "I" in blogs.

He could barely get a thought out of his head. Damn you Guy!

The good news about the networking event is that by being there, participants have signaled a willingness to network according to the cultural norms of the networking event. Even if it did, it would be really tough because you often don't get past the resume level in a networking event. You also have to weed out people who are not prospects.

There was definitely some good points about what people will pay for: People are happy to pay for news and information however it's delivered, but only if it has real, differentiated value. Newsmastering is the process by which a human being identifies, aggregates, hand-picks, edits and republishes a highly-focused, thematic news via RSS.
