On January 28-29, I’ll be attending the Learning Technologies Conference in London. I’ll have a hand in leading three events.
Learning for tomorrow: what a difference a decade makes, 1/29, 15:30. Donald Clark, Charles Jennings, and I are leading an interactive closing keynote session. This should be fun. For me, “tireless promoter of the concept of informal learning, the past decade has liberated us from the tyranny of formal, structured learning, to appreciate that learning is a natural phenomenon to be supported, not led, by technologies and organisations.”
Under the radar: great technologies that you could be using, 1/28, 11:30. What bubbling-under learning technologies will learning professionals need to be aware of over the next 12 months? With so many to choose from, where do you start? Jay Cross, who advises on these technologies as well as using them extensively himself, shares his thoughts. If ‘direct-to-cloud video’ and ‘Scribd for docs’ are alien concepts, then join Jay as he rummages through his tool kit.
Conversation on the future of organizational learning, not yet scheduled. This will be a continuation of the conversation begun at Canary Wharf earlier this month. Some of the threads from that session: “There’s a positive spin to all of this. It’s the death of training and birth of learning. Training is severely broken.” “The spend on learning will go down 25-30%. How can we deliver the same amount of change for 25-30% less?” “It’s about speed to competence.” “The altruistic sharing that is baked into web 2.0 has not made it to the board room yet.”
The program this year looks great. It’s chock-full of how-to sessions. I’m already lamenting missing some key topics because Learning Technologies is a three-ring circus. In some time slots, I want to attend all three!
I plan to stay in London during the week after Learning Technologies to meet with clients. If you and I should meet up while I’m in the Smoke, please get in touch.
