Yesterday, Learntrends hosted a series of online conversations on boosting the performance of organizations through learning. I thought my personal contacts, the Learntrends membership, notices on Facebook/LinkedIn/Nings, and the Tweetstream would attract flocks of people. Our goal was honest dialog among as many members as possible.

LearnTrends: Microlearning. LearnTrends: Personal Knowledge Management. If I was looking for evidence that live blogging during conferences and webinars provides value, I think this sums it up quite nicely. Subscribers are people who have decided my blog provides (at least some) long-term value to them.

While strife with technical challenges, Nancy White and John Smith’s presentation at LearnTrends 2009 ( LearnTrends 2009 Recordings ) provided some really interesting food for thought. In some ways this relates closely to the post on Selling Learning Communities.

I am delighted to report that recordings of the April Learntrends sessions are online. After all, April Learntrends was an experiment in socially-mediated learning in lieu of traditional presentation. Reflection is vital to learning. This was an experiment in making an event more informal and spontaneous.

Clark Quinn and I led a discussion on Reinventing Organizational Learning at LearnTrends this morning. Sandy E: In this context, I think ADDIE simply provides a way to organize and structure the things that we're exploring. The recording will be up before the day is over, but I thought you might enjoy the discussion that went with it.

Free learning can come from groups like Work Literacy that provided a large online learning experience for free, or from LearnTrends that produces amazing content like LearnTrends 2009 for free. Free Learning may not be as high a quality – although I would claim that LearnTrends and WorkLiteracy filled niches.

Social learning solutions like social homework help provided by Cramster ; CampusBug , Grockit , TutorVista , EduFire , English Cafe , and the list goes on and on. Part of this, that wasn’t well captured in my prediction, is that a lot of these solutions aim at providing Free content. LearnTrends had a bunch of these.
