One of the new skills that teachers will need to master in the future will be the ability to manage virtual learning spaces. The use of web based resources and networked computers enable students to enter worlds previously inaccessible, allowing them to explore within that imagined world we call 'cyberspace'. Such imagined worlds can also be very flexible, in that they represent spaces where the student is not constrained by the traditional boundaries of space and place.

Perhaps because the format was virtually given, there was tremendous emphasis on methods of engagement, scaffolding experiences, and devising countless ways to entice workers to learn. The L&D field scrambled to take advantage of the new graphical platform, as well as the developing World Wide Web, and new tools were abundant. Haven’t we all abandoned proven and effective work styles for ineffective patterns of behavior when under stress?

I was struck by how unfamiliar virtually all of the students were with the Federal Reserve. They were disconnected (by unawareness or intentional disinterest) from important information about their world. They run their business without a true understanding of the world in which they operate. And without information about today’s world, it’s difficult to build meaningful success and a sustainability strategy. What is popular, effective, and attention-getting?

Anyone who is interested in the social media phenomenon would be very interested to read this from Abday Adhikari, writing in the Guardian : Every time we publish information on the internet, we are effectively starting a conversation, because people can respond or react to it. We synthesise our beliefs, knowledge and understanding of the world through constant exposure to the ideas of others. We are essentially performing our ideas to a vast and unseen audience.

While every organization in the world is unique, most have characteristics in common. All employees are ultimately connected to one another through a common purpose to succeed and fulfill the mission of the organization. Sharing a common purpose and vision may be the most basic element of connectedness for employees, but it’s very loose and at a high-level. High performing individuals commonly enjoy even higher levels of connectedness within the organization.

People gain their identity and form their habits by looking at themselves through the perception of society and other people they interact with.' ( New World Encyclopedia ) I did some research of my own back in the 90s based on the presentation of self in everyday life. Goffman saw social interaction as a drama performance, in which the actor's behaviour was framed by front stage and back stage roles, scripts, props and costumes.

Some point to TED and Khan Academy content as exemplars of the future of workplace learning, including the ability to learn at convenient times and places or the effectiveness of “flipped” training where content is consumed outside a classroom and face-to-face sessions are used to discuss it and application within the organization. And virtually all of them envision these as forms of formal learning, taking place behind the corporate firewall.

For a start, there are an impressive array of transferrable skills to be acquired, especially if the games played are designed effectively. Many scholars have researched the effects of games on learning, but perhaps one of the most prolific and profound games theorists is James Paul Gee. Gamers are free to take risks in spaces where 'real world' consequences are negated. Next time, they improve their performance and avoid the same errors.

Most of the time, objects were simply there to be used to perform a task the user required. The difference is, at present we can use our devices to interact directly with virtual space, but with smart context aware objects surrounding us, we will be able to interact through virtual tools into the real world. These are very effective, but they are superficial compared to what comes next. Not so long ago, objects were simply objects.

Virtual classrooms and smart-boards are used in a more student-centered way (not putting all the attention to one person up-front=bad). The availability of cost-effective resources to facilitate wide collaboration (including open source software that enables wikis, discussion groups, chat and even web conferencing) presents the chance for organizations to reconsider the effectiveness of the performance support being offered to their people.

Maybe it was the world class quality and quantity of our invited speakers. John Davitt, in his quirky, off-the-wall session: 'From Silo to Orchestra: The staccato progress of eLearning' encouraged us all to perform our teaching in a different way, using different steps, alternative tempos and creative melodies, so that learners were engaged in many new ways. I think this is quite profound, that in effect we as teachers can get in the way of a child's progress.

In many cases great instructional designers follow the instructional design process instinctively and the degree simply adds a common language to what they are already doing. In the corporate world I learned that reputation, ability (work produced), and ROI counts for a lot more than a piece of paper and knowledge of field specific terminology.
