Of course, this is only in the case of known problems, the ‘optimal execution’ phase of organizational learning. What that means is that we have to be providing tools for people to communicate, collaborate, create representations, access and analyze data, and more.

By using tools like blogs for recording and sharing personal learning and information updates, wikis to collaborate, discussion forums to converse, and blogs and microblogs to track what others think are important, we provide ways to naturally learn together. I do not mean just courses, though they’re part of it.

My topic is myths about new learners, and I intend to debunk much of the hype just as I like to do around learning styles (which will probably show it’s head in the talk), as well as provide practical guidelines. Folks like Will Wright and Vint Cerf are keynoting, so this is bound to be special.

However, assuming good coaching and mentoring skills would be a mistake, so there’s a real for L&D to provide explicit development of coaching and mentoring, as well as ensuring that those relationships are established and occur.
