Adoption. If you have a population of learners who have already adopted tools (such as blogging and social bookmarking) for themselves that are different than the corporate tool (the LMS) do you ask them to move? If your population has not adopted a tool yet, do you have a responsibility to the individual to show them tools that can live beyond their engagement at the company? It makes sense in many of these cases to keep it inside the firewall.

White collar workers outnumbered their blue collar colleagues for the first time. Many of the corporations that adopted eLearning fell under the same mistaken spell that beguiled investors. That accounts for a mere 5%-10% of the way workers learn their jobs. Workers are disgruntled.

Workers who know more get more accomplished. Most of what we learn, we learn from other people — parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, playmates, cousins, Little Leaguers, Scouts, school chums, roommates, teammates, classmates, study groups, coaches, bosses, mentors, colleagues, gossips, co-workers, neighbors, and, eventually, our children.
