It's always interesting to look back at the past year - 2008, think about what has changed for me during the year, and think about what that means for the next year - 2009. My blog is really the hub of my thinking and activity, so by going back through posts for the 2008, it gives me a pretty good perspective on what's been happening inside my head during 2008. To do my review, I first looked at what I was writing about and what people were reading on my blog in 2008.

Summer Reading List 2008
Kapp Notes
JULY 1, 2008
Ok, I know this is a little late but I have actually been away on vacation using Blogger's advanced posting function for the past two weeks. It is great for vacation by the way. Any way here are some interesting books for summer reading. They are not all training related and I am sure you've heard of them but they are some of the more interesting books I've read about the changing Internet and overall technology climate.
Challenges 2008
Tony Karrer
FEBRUARY 5, 2008
This was a great exercise and the fact that I had not considered my big challenges for 2008 made it harder to do my Conference Planning for ASTD TechKnowledge 2008. So, when I look at 2008, some challenges jump out at me: Challenge #1 - How do I balance time spent between blogging, direct conversations, small group virtual conversations, small group networking, speaking at virtual conferences, speaking at conferences and writing?

Happy 2008
From the Coleface
JANUARY 15, 2008
Welcome to 2008. I’ve had a fantastic start to the year, with the joys of becoming a father for the first time. Lilia is gorgeous, hard work at times and suddenly 9:30 pm has turned into an eminently sensible time to go to bed, rather than a time to move on to the second pub. Back in the world of work, the start of the new year means that the biggest e-learning event of the year is on the horizon. The Learning Technologies show is on 30 and 31 January.
2008 Predictions, Remembrance and Challenges
Kapp Notes
JANUARY 5, 2008
The ASTD Big Question for January is "What are your Predictions for Learning in 2008?" The three questions, now modified for 2008, are: What will you remember most about 2007? What are the biggest challenges for you/us as head into 2008? What are your predictions for 2008? What are the biggest challenges for you/us as head into 2008? Time management is a big issue that I need to get some more control over in 2008. What are your predictions for 2008?

JULY 16, 2008
Even after a long day, the audience of college faculty members of the PA State System of Higher Education asked insightful questions about "digital diversity". Last night, I had the privilege to speak with a group of my colleagues from universities across the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education.

2008 Summer SL Class Underway
Kapp Notes
JULY 8, 2008
Once again I am teaching a class using virtual worlds, this class "Learning in 3D" will include the use of both ProtoSphere and Second Life. The quick six week class will cover just the basics of navigating in 3D worlds, building a small structure and learning about the different type of environments available. The first class had the usual Second Life chaos but it was a lot of fun for everyone.

TechKnowledge 2008 Blog Coverage
Tony Karrer
MARCH 4, 2008
However, I've noticed that there have been quite a few posts discussing experiences at ASTD TechKnowledge 2008. ASTD TechKnowledge 2008, Lots of Fun TK08 - Tony Karrer and Implementation of Social Learning How to Add Scenarios to Your Rapid E-Learning Courses.Rapidly! My experience has been that ASTD audiences do not blog as much as other audiences such as the eLearning Guild and I commented about that in More eLearning Bloggers.
Best eLearning Blog 2008
Tony Karrer
DECEMBER 22, 2008
I want to thank everyone who voted for and reads this blog - eLearning Technology. It was announced that we won for Best elearning / corporate education blog. I previously had some commentary on the edublog awards. I also lobbied for a few of my fellow bloggers who did not win. The bottom line is that none of us do this to win awards. It's nice to be recognized, but it's not going to change what we do. In a way, each of us votes every day for blogs. We spend time reading them. Commenting on them.

Experiencing eLearning
JANUARY 5, 2009
I’ve been blogging for just over 2 years now; my first posts were on December 26, 2008. I’m still quite pleased with the growth I saw in 2008 over my first year of blogging. 2008: 61062. time more views in 2008. 2008: 121. 2008: 223 , in September. My growth hasn’t been steady, but 2008 was steadier than 2007. April 2008 is when I liveblogged the TCC 2008 conference.

Kapp Notes
JULY 18, 2008
Matt and I have teamed up at several conferences as co-presenters (see ASTD TechKnowledge 2008, Lots of Fun and Second Life Training Presentation for more details on our presentations) so it was great to team up with him again. Preston providing instruction and answering questions in Second Life. So the second week of the summer Learning in 3D class was exciting. We have an impromptu guest speaker.Preston Straaf aka Matt Monahan.
Best media of 2008
From the Coleface
DECEMBER 24, 2008
It seems like this is the time of year when newspapers are putting together lots of lists of the highlights of the year, so I thought I’d jump on the bandwagon. My list is of new media treatments that could be used for learning. It’s unusual in that it only has one item. Have a look at Darth Vader canteen on Youtube. It combines great content with an attention grabbing yet harmonious media treatment.

Stephen Downes has upped the ante on predictions for 2008 by creating a report card on predictions of 2007.

Kapp Notes
JULY 29, 2008
Overseeing the interesting structures built by students. Second Life class last night had to go on without me as I was "in-the-air" to Texas during class time due to the perils of air travel. So we had a guest speaker who covered basic scripting and some semi-advanced building. The class is coming along well and we have a number of machinima videos coming to YouTube by the end of the semester.

Kapp Notes
JULY 21, 2008
Here we are sitting around the conference room discussing our visits to far away places in the metaverse. This was an exciting class, we first learned to create note cards and then learning about Learning Archetypes in Second Life which are picking up some momentum. We also learned some ideas about developing lessons within Second Life in terms of what needs to be created to make a successful educational experience in a 3D world.
ASTD TechKnowledge 2008, Lots of Fun
Kapp Notes
FEBRUARY 29, 2008
Arrived back from the ASTD TechKnowledge 2008 conference late the other night (3:00am) but the conference was worth it. I got to see a lot of people and make some really good connections. Matt Monahan and I had a lot of fun in our pre-conference workshop, Learning in 3D. We had a lively group of about 10 participants some of who had never even logged into Second Life before and some who were practically pros. Matthew Monahan and I put them through the paces.

DECEMBER 3, 2008
The Learning Circuit’s Blog Big Question for December is “What did you learn about learning in 2008?&# It’s good to reflect, and using the end of the calendar year is a traditional time. Consequently, I trolled back through a year of blog posts. Whew! I saw several recurrent threads, but the strongest one is on learning to learn.
ASTD's Big Question for December 2008: New Learning
Kapp Notes
DECEMBER 26, 2008
The ASTD Big question this month is What did you learn about learning in 2008? I learn so much all the time from students, clients and colleagues, it is hard to narrow it down to just two or three things, but I'll try. Here are a few of the lessons I have learned. Mostly about finding a good "model" for mobile learning course design, how others tend to view immersive learning environments and how Social Media is taking off in the least likely places.

Upbeat Learning Technologies 2008
Lars is Learning
FEBRUARY 2, 2008
I spent last week in London at Learning Technologies Exhibition and Conference. The general mood amongst the vendors and attendees I felt demonstrated a confidence in the future at odds with the wider economic gloom that the media and city types would have us believe. While the longer term impact of globalisation and an overstretched financial sector will clearly affect us all, I wonder if we

What will be hot in 2008?
From the Coleface
JANUARY 28, 2008
January is the time of year when you’ll read lots of predictions as to what will be hot in 2008 in L&D, so I thought it would be rude not to get into the act too. Hence my safe prediction for 2008 is that you’ll be hearing lots about web 2.0. My methodology is surprisingly simple – take what two bodies who try to predict what conferences people will pay to attend have included in their programmes for the year.

US Economy and e-Learning in 2008
G-Cube
JANUARY 8, 2008
Here are my views in response to January’s Big Question from ASTD -. One of the leading e-Learning forecasts suggests that current size of the US market alone is close to $10 billion. Market has shown consistent growth over last 5 years. Forecast also suggests reasonably good growth for next 4-5 years (the entire forecast period). In my views growth of e-Learning is the function of two important factors.
