Reality or Chatter: A Couple Questions to Explore

Posted by Saul Carliner in Pre-event thoughts, Past Events, Jan 24 06 (January 20, 2006 at 10:41 am)
  • Is m-learning the next big thing in e-learning? If so, what makes it so hot?
  • What’s happened to learning objects? Have they gone underground like 80s music? If so, when can we expect their revival?
  • In his new book, Marc Rosenberg announces that we’re moving Beyond E-Learning. Is that someplace we want to go?
  • Everyone says that, because the current generation of young people is addicted to video games, workplace learning needs to morph into the Sims and Delta Force. But how much does everyone really know?
  • In its just-released 2005 Industry Report, TRAINING Magazine declared that the classroom “ain’t dead yet.” So when?

I’ll explore these and similar issues this Tuesday, January 24, 2006, in my presentation, “Seperating the reality from the chatter in learning theories.” 6 - 8 pm, at the Canadian Consulate, Three Copley Place, Suite 400, Boston, MA 02116.
