David Gaw gave a presentation on Rapid E-Learning Tools. I have worked with a lot of the Rapid E-Learning Tools and my big take-away from this presentation was the increasing need for speed in the creation of E-Learning. Bersin & Associates quote “Training and HR managers surveyed said 72% of their training problems must be solved within 60-90 days.” resonated with me. I think our customers are sometimes willing to give up production quality for speed. However, I think we have to be careful and not give up instructional quality to get speed. If we produce material that is of low instructional value we lose credibility with our audience–they are relunctant to take more training. Also, we waste a lot of money. Invariably the largest portion of training cost is audience time and lack of performance after they have attended training.

Zulfi Kureshi gave an interesting presentation on Technology Trends in Informal Learning (attached below). I was particularly interested to see how Deloitte uses Learning 2.0 tools internally and am thinking of how I can use them in our organization.
An example of using Learning 2.0 Technology is the ELC website runs on Drupal–a open source CMS that allows us to Blog, grab RSS feeds on a topic (News Clips), have Forums, and a shared calendar. All this for free. I remember when Intranets and shared knowledge sites cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
I strongly believe that Learning 2.0 technologies will supplement the over the cubicle wall learning that most people engage in today–with telecommuting and global enterprise it is a neccessity. Furthermore, as the baby boomers retire–Learning 2.0 technologies offer a chance for us to capture their expertise before they head off to go deep sea fishing — talk about asynchronous learning.
I was fascinated by a thread I saw in the comments on this presentation–oh we can’t do this at OUR organization. Why? Is it the culture? Is it not being able to prove ROI? Is it Security? What are the specific issues? How is using Learning 2.0 technology different from sharing a Power Point or a newspaper article? How is it different from asking your IT person….”Hey how do I use Excel to do filtered subtotals?.”
