Notes from Jane Bozarth's BozarthZone, with special interest in Communities of Practice, capturing tacit knowledge, accessibility and inclusion, and creating effective learning experiences, along with general thoughts about Learning & Development. Practical, human-centered, slightly contrarian about tech hype, and deeply grounded in how work actually happens.

Expand Your Surface Area
In this month's Nuts & Bolts column I extend an invitation to expand your surface area beyond usual topics and readings and communities:
" A while back at an eLearning Guild event (DevLearn 2010), I was fortunate to attend a keynote by John Seely Brown, who at the time had just published his Power of Pull. Among my takeaways? His advice to “expand your surface area.” One great way to do this is to increase your nonfiction reading, or join in conversations, in areas perhaps not directly connected to your immediate work interests."
Take a look!
