This morning I awoke to find this tweet: Hi! @C4LPT @hjarche @MelMilloway @bschlenker @marciamarcia @jerrymichalski @DonaldClark @DonaldHTaylor What are ur fav videos on learning? — Mark Oehlert (@moehlert) November 29, 2016. My immediate response was to point to one of Erik Qualman’s videos on the Social Media Revolution, which although not specifically about learning show the impact that social media is having on education and learning in general.

Now, more than ever, it is crucial that companies have standards of competency and ensure that those standards be met by each and every employee. A company’s existence and legacy depends on this.

At the recent DevLearn conference, I had a chance to present in xAPI Base Camp on Content Systems. This is a topic I’ve been thinking about since working on an adaptive learning system back in 1999-2000. And I think it’s now an even bigger big opportunity. In the course of responding to an interested attendee, I aggregated this list of my (non-blog) publications on the process, and I thought it might be useful to share them here (from most recent to earliest): Talking about lifecy

If you are a writer then you have probably heard how important it is to develop your unique “voice” In fact, writers spend years trying to perfect their voice. It often becomes their “brand” Anything we put in a digital format has a “voice”, even videos. Yes, we can actually hear the voices in a video, but in this context it makes more sense to talk about the feeling people get as they watch.

But that speed is not effective unless it is accompanied by a second dimension — quality. Consider the following data to paint a more precise picture. In a study of more than 51,000 leaders, Zenger Folkman examined two dimensions: the leader’s ability to do things fast and the leader’s ability to do things right.
