At the International Conference on eLearning in the Workplace, I talked with Sid Slover, the founder of Learn It Live. In this four-minute excerpt you’ll hear my take on the failure of traditional training, evidence that informal learning works, living in a world of omnipresent information, pattern recognition, network lifelines, natural learning, tech fading into the background, the demise of university teaching, corporations that don’t get it, academics that don’t get it, and the need to improve the learning process. Whew.

I completely agree with you that learning happens outside of the classroom, and technology will make many classrooms obsolete. As you point out, however, that learning does occur between people in non-technology situations. It is important that as educators, regardless of whether we are teachers or corporate trainers, that we do not forget the very important role that human to human contact has in learning.
