I think many training departments will need to also work more intentionally to build more meaningful partnerships with key individuals across the enterprise to help manage and develop content for web 2.0 platforms; especially within a model that allows SMEs to shift rapidly into instructional content creation when needed and then to "snap back" into whatever role(s) they normally have. <br /><br />I think this will force more of a facilitator role for those dedicated to a training dept and will also widen the involvement of the SME. I saw this occur out of necessity while at several tech company training departments and can imagine this model becoming more commonplace.Spring2Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06920513362578455680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055982.post-22503374649060569692009-09-06T10:01:59.179-07:002009-09-06T10:01:59.179-07:00Scott, I just read an article in the financial tim...Scott, I just read an article in the financial times that said that the Chinese market is the largest growing social network in the world. But they aren't using Facebook, Twitter etc... The majority come into social networking through gaming sites. I wonder if the opposite will happen or if we will begin to draw in different populations by using gamed based learning (i.e. social networks will feed game based learning sites).V Yonkershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11910904367068063554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055982.post-42326999022808999882009-09-06T06:16:33.421-07:002009-09-06T06:16:33.421-07:00@John - great point.

However, I'm not sure how much that's really going to be.Tony Karrerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15408035995182843336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055982.post-48717665693418227452009-09-06T03:13:13.114-07:002009-09-06T03:13:13.114-07:00I think that one of the big trends that is emergin...I think that one of the big trends that is emerging is Game Based Learning. As new employees join businesses from university, college and school they have a different view of how they want to learn. <br /><br />We've already seen the benefits of using Brain Training to improve basic numeracy and the use of games in industry is becoming more commonplace.Scott Hewitthttp://www.realprojects.co.uk/gamebasedlearningnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055982.post-37115381568826183712009-08-31T09:33:46.360-07:002009-08-31T09:33:46.360-07:00I think we're going to start seeing some backl...I think we're going to start seeing some backlash on the "do more with less" idea. At VMG, we're starting to talk about "do less with less". <br /><br />(see http://velocitymg.com/explorations/the-business-of-learning/doless/ )<br /><br />It's not about DOING more. It's about being more effective. Many times the easiest way to use your resources more effectively is to just stop doing traditional things that aren't delivering results.John Hathawayhttp://velocitymg.com/category/vmg-labs/leveraging-learning/noreply@blogger.com
