I’ve been facilitating the Big Question on ASTD’s Learning Circuit’s blog since sometime in 2006. Last month’s big question was Instruction in a Information Snacking Culture? eLearning Technology. But it does (and I am). The point is for us to have an exchange of ideas around a topic. Thoughts, suggestions?

There's really quite a bit to this question. I’ll begin by quoting something I read in Tony Karrer’s blog, eLearning Technology. This is precisely my feeling too…it is one of my pet grouch that this month’s Big Question allows me to vent. Is this what happens when the client and the SME are one and the same?

The questions prompt quite a lively and interesting discussion among online community members. The Learning Circuits Big Question for May is: How do we need to change in what we do in order to address learning/performance needs that are on-demand? So, there you have it…my answer to this month’s big question.

April's Big Question from Learning Circuits is "How to Keep up?" This is in reference the immense and rapidly expanding technology tools. However, being involved in an e-learning community is a big help. It is tough to stay on top of all the emerging tools. So, I browsed "Tools" by keyword on eLearningLearning.

Just before I went on holiday recently I was asked how human learning has changed with the advent, penetration and increasing ubiquity of computing technology. While you hold that thought, it’s good to think that the technology is on the cusp of providing an ‘infinite’ amount of information.

The March Big Question from Learning Circuits is What will workplace learning look like in 10 years? And with the use of technology, courses will be far more reactive to their audiences' learning needs. Here are some of the things I see in 10 years: We will see much more informal learning and knowledge management.

The Learning Circuits Big Question this month asks – “ What will the workplace learning technology look like in 2015 ”. The question is inspired from a post by Derek Morrsion – Technology to Enhance Learning in 2015 , quite an interesting post, a must read. What have we witnessed in last 5 years?

Drawn in by the possibilities of blending technology with education, I'm a bit sad to say that the results haven't always been everything I might have hoped for. it's time for the Big Question! There's a very early episode of The Simpsons in which Lisa imagines herself in the school of the future. But more of that later.

I left a comment on Tony Karrer's blog about creating a "Design Day" so that everyone in the blogosphere adds a comment about the importance of instructional design as opposed to focusing on technology. So, once again, I noted that good design is independent of the technology. It is a great entry outlining 3 elements of good design.

The April Big Question in the Learning Circuits Blog is simply ‘how do we keep up?’ Perhaps the more important question, then, is ‘do I really need to?’ Hardware and software media technologies are quite obviously proliferating and a proportion of these will prove to have a lasting relevance to learning and development.

First thought: Everyone in L&D should understand how best to use learning technologies and most should have at least some basic skills in, say, creating very simple digital content and facilitating in a virtual classroom - even if these skills are not going to be central to your job.

The Big Question for January in the Learning Circuits Blog is, rather predictably, what are your predictions for 2010? There will be enough exceptions to keep those already active in these fields going, but no big shift in corporate learning practice. only one will matter and that is surviving the downturn.
