I received some interesting questions (and you know I love questions) from someone doing eLearning industry market research around trends in simulations, games, social learning. Yes, we will continue to see lots of professional skill development via off-the-shelf eLearning solutions. Will there remain a need for eLearning libraries?

I'm struggling a bit with the question of whether what we need to do around Work and Learning has changed or is it only that the Context and the Methods have changed. However, when I look at what I do day-to-day and what other people do day-to-day as part of their work and learning, I don't see it as really being different.

You share knowledge, and provide insight and work together, in some manner even if you are not in the same department or location. You can share and transfer knowledge, work together on a project or something else that is not job related (maybe a birthday party). That is a shared experience.

Workers will also have to be their own instructional designers, selecting the best methods of learning. Furthermore, given the increasingly reciprocal nature of knowledge work, they will have to know how to teach. In an earlier article, eLearning Is Not the Answer , I’d pushed (NB: irony), the importance of Pull Learning.

Complexity of Productivity for Knowledge Work Productivity is defined as: the ratio of the quantity and quality of units produced to the labor per unit of time For some knowledge workers, we can reasonably define things this way. Thus, Leveraging Networks is Key Skill and likely is the most important Knowledge Worker Skill Gap.

Jobs are changing where there is a clear move from role-based work to task-based work, less transactional work and more work that requires decision-making and dealing with ambiguity. Both of these can be supported in the workplace rather than in the classroom or through structured eLearning.

The need for coordinated action led to working hours, the urban workforce, specialization of jobs, the quest for efficiency, and the separation of management and workers. In the west, the educational system adopted German methods of schooling soldiers to convert feisty farmers and hunters into obedient factory workers.
