Clark Quinn and I led a discussion on Reinventing Organizational Learning at LearnTrends this morning. They are one central team but the bu funds the communicator for their group and that communicator is part of that bu's efforts - it's been really effective if you can make it happen. Twitter and chat are ubiquitous at conferences now.

We’ve just announced the innovation awards associated with LearnTrends 2009. It makes it possible to develop rich simulations in a fast and cost-effective way. The session was fraught with technical difficulties, so I thought it would be worth capturing a bit about each of the four award winners here.

A few years ago, I cajoled Robin into making a presentation at the online LearnTrends conference I was running with George Siemens and Tony Karrer. I’ve been ruminating about what people really need in their learning toolkit to be self-sufficient, effective, turned-on learners. He brokers wisdom. I love the guy.

During the year, I’ve had fantastic conversations through LearnTrends around SharePoint , Examples and Tour of Different Kinds of eLearning , Social Learning , and the Business of Learning. Each of these allowed me to fast forward my learning and share knowledge effectively. So, why not look to make this more explicit and effective?

LearnTrends and other efforts have been well received by the community but not without constructive feedback. Jay posts his own thoughts about April's LearnTrends event here. I think we can learn a lot from productivity gurus, and "effective meetings" advocates by continuing to ask "why are we here?"

Credit where credit is due, a great deal of this increase in awareness has come through my use of Twitter (especially #lrnchat ) and through a number of online social networks, such as Seth Godin's Triiibes , LearnTrends , Problogger and LinkedIn groups. Now the question is, "but what content do they need/want?" That's pretty broad isn't it!

Best educational use of a social networking service: LearnTrends Online Conference on Ning (George Siemens, Tony Karrer, Jay Cross). For the record I did listen to heavy metal music while in labor with no adverse effects. Sarah is a midwife and educator who helped create a virtual birth unit in Second Life. Nice rock hair.
