I find it helps me focus and look for the key points, which ofte presenters aren't good at highlighting on their own. Check Twitter for any conference name preceded by a hashtag: #astd09, or #devlearn, and you'll see what I mean.Jane Bozarthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09179488095482056918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10660771.post-17218672836153867672009-08-04T21:17:52.285-04:002009-08-04T21:17:52.285-04:00What I find interesting though, is that in a tradi...What I find interesting though, is that in a traditional lecture setting (whether it is in a classroom or at a conference) is that the "learners" are really embracing technology - but unfortunately they are texting/twittering from their mobile devices and not paying attention to the lecture at all!Katnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10660771.post-78360974001526019002009-07-28T22:15:17.319-04:002009-07-28T22:15:17.319-04:00I think this is a great way to compare diversity a...I think this is a great way to compare diversity and relate it to HRD. This can help show how to embrace change and diffrences between generations and the changes in technology that come along for the ride. It will help show how diversity effects our learning and not just people.Carissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10797511965884458764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10660771.post-10534458115553046442009-07-26T19:10:41.611-04:002009-07-26T19:10:41.611-04:00Hi Aynsley.

This was the first year I have been able to attend the ASTD conference and I was shocked at the low-level of skill and knowledge of training I saw with most of the attendees. They were mostly still interested in presentation skills! Many seemed to be spending a lot of time reinforcing one another's belief that technology-based training was ineffective. They certainly were nowhere near Tweeting or working in Second Life. I don't see them remaining viable in the workplace of the future, but as you say, the workplace may not yet care about that.Jimmie Garcianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10660771.post-79294324043244970332009-07-06T10:04:52.096-04:002009-07-06T10:04:52.096-04:00Hey, Dave, and thanks for the comments.

I agree with 'firewall' issue in theory, but folks who don't take the time to learn a technology will never make a good case to IT for opening up the firewall or letting folks have access. (No, I won't go into my "Be the change!" rant again.)<br /><br />RE your final chilling comment: when folks new to elearning (yes, there are still lots) contact me their questions tend to fall in one of 2 areas:<br />"How can I make our online training engaging and effective?"<br />Or<br />"How can I manage/track/monitor the online training?" <br /><br />The first ones I can help. The second ones, well, I can't see that they're really interested in training in the first place.Jane Bozarthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09179488095482056918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10660771.post-8801083668424862012009-07-06T09:57:46.439-04:002009-07-06T09:57:46.439-04:00I agree with the tech challenge, though training/l...I agree with the tech challenge, though training/learning people in organizations have the additional hurdle of overcoming obstacles like firewalls. <br /><br />The language-practice blog is a terrific idea. Along those lines, I've ranted for years that one of the biggest tech boosts to learning is for an on-the-job computer system to have a robust practice mode. <br /><br />Let people enter new mortgage-loan applications or tax assessments or travel reservations. Let them tinker, play, cancel, rebook, and do all the things they'd do on the job.<br /><br />As for the letting go--I'm still recovering from a comment I saw the other day; the individual looked warily at online training and noted how essential it was to "police the learning."Dave Fergusonhttp://daveswhiteboard.comnoreply@blogger.com
