What is Workflow Learning?

This is a great introduction to the concept of Workflow Learning, written by the person who coined the term, guru Jay Cross.

Here's a cute excerpt:

"A buff venture capitalist in a designer suit steps into my elevator. Soon she asks, 'Workflow learning? What's that??

I reply: 'That's something you won't have to ask five years from now, for by then Web Services and the integrated, real-time enterprise will be commonplace. Learning will have become a core business process. It?s what will connect humans to their work. "

The rest of the column is on the main page of eLearning Magazine, for now anyway:

Project Management Blogs

This is an interesting piece about using blogs for project management in a potentially transparent way. Does it make sense to allow project teams to publish internally about how projects are going? Is this type of openness liable to make everyone more productive? It would definitely be an interesting experiment...

Interactive Technologies for eLearning

We gave the third in our series of eLeanring Solutions Seminars in conjunction with our partner, Hand Multimedia. We had a good turn-out and discussion...

We talked about theory related to interactivity, specific technologies and showed a number of examples of games, simulations and scenario-based learning.

Everyone really enjoyed seeing Hand's thermodynamics learning game, Fireman Frank. You can view it here, if you missed it.

We didn't discuss collaboration, lms/lcms's, or any of that as we'll be covering those topics in future seminars.
