If they do not know they were using Twitter...rather that they had virtually instant access to critical links...bada-bing...adoption. <br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />G.Gary Wisehttp://gdogwise.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055982.post-141763916297652672009-08-27T06:27:56.891-07:002009-08-27T06:27:56.891-07:00Tony, sorry I missed this event.

The 7th question in today's post sounds like a methodology approach to applying learning, and I'd like to offer up a couple of posts on my blog in support of an answer. The first two posts describe the application of a design model that supports a continuous learning environment where a blend of formal and informal learning co-exists. the model does not recommend learning type, but it does provide guidelines for discovery that point toward different venues and delivery attributes. My whole take on determining the appropriate blend is a function of identifying the performance outcomes desired and working backwards into the most effective learning blend. The biggest influencer in this model is the "work context" of the learner, and that plays a huge roll in the third phase of the Learning Continuum. This is the gist of my topic in the "Future of the Business of Learning", so I won't blather on here, but if desired the posts are at <a href="http://gdogwise.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow">Living in Learning</a><br />Thanks!<br />G.Gary Wisehttp://gdogwise.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055982.post-28935116176536021752009-08-26T11:25:32.275-07:002009-08-26T11:25:32.275-07:00Virginia - great point.

Twitter allows for brief announcements to be broadcast at one time, but a company may not want to jump on the "Twitter" bandwagon because they don't really understand what it is. However, you can sell a twitter like tool by focusing on its use for broadcasting information quickly throughout the organization. For example, many law enforcement agencies use a broadcasting mechanism to send out Amber Alerts. Identifying the use of the tool, then working with IT to identify the tool that will meet that need within the security and culture of that organization.V Yonkershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11910904367068063554noreply@blogger.com
