Erika, our guide for ProtoSphere, talks to the group. This week's class proved to be exciting as we got a guided tour of ProtoSphere from Erika of ProtonMedia , used the VOIP in Second Life and had a group challenge where teams of students (dressed as fire fighters) cleaned up make believe chemical spills in teams of 4 or 5. The idea behind that exercises was to help them learn how teamwork principles can be applied in a 3D world to help with team building, cooperation and coordination.

Gladwell - TED Talk - Malcolm Gladwell talks about providing choices that people don't even know that they want. Barry Schwartz takes aim at a central belief of western societies: that freedom of choice leads to personal happiness. In Schwartz's estimation, all that choice is making us miserable. We set unreasonably high expectations, question our choices before we even make them, and blame our failures entirely on ourselves.

The amount of times my wife has been optimistically saying “lets get a new kitchen” has made me realise that my experience as a buyer of kitchens is probably not unlike that of many managers who are commissioning e-learning. Firstly it all feels like quite a lot of money, so my fear of making a wrong decision is heightened. Then there are all sorts of options for different finishes, accessories and gadgetry.

Well its that time of year again when following the upgrade of Moodle to our test server and tried out all the features that I need to star thinking about updating the Moodle course notes for the new version. This usually means I check each page of the notes with the new version and apply changes as they occur. This year however I have decided to reduce the actual Moodle training notes in their printed form and deliver the rest as a series of short video clips that can be run on demand by users

Part of learning is expanding your mind and understanding different perspectives or points of view. One extremely effective way of doing that is to "walk a mile in the other person's shoes" in other words.experience life as the other person does. This is sometimes much easier said than done since adopting another's view point can be difficulty and incomplete if done superficially.

I attended a Clive Shepherd webinar today and found that one of his early slides encapsulated what I’d been reflecting upon for a while. If a training identifies that learners need some learning content, it typically goes through the following process. Of course none of the enlightened L&D professionals reading this would think so simply.

July’s Accountancy magazine reports on a round table discussion between 6 lead partners of mid tier firms. Their discussion does not rule out further mergers in the sector. 2007 has been a bumper year for mergers with the merger of Grant Thornton and RSMI Robson Rhodes still fresh in the memory. Meanwhile, Deloitte is in the process of merging its UK practice with its Swiss Practice, whilst KPMG is merging its UK practice with its German practice.

I left a comment on Tony Karrer's blog about creating a "Design Day" so that everyone in the blogosphere adds a comment about the importance of instructional design as opposed to focusing on technology. And then Dennis Coxe over at Sailing by Sound picked up on my comment and posted an entry called "I Declare 'Design Day'". It is a great entry outlining 3 elements of good design.

It provides a widget that allows you to show your top posts for month or year. You can see what it thinks are mine in the right column of the blog. I've been creating similar information manually for a while, so it's nice to have an automated support for it.

Still musing on the ELN Showcase back on 6 July about what clients are prepared to pay for when it comes to commissioning e-learning. Information Transfer won “E-learning Project of the Year” from the Institute of IT Training in 2007 “Best e-learning project securing widespread adoption” at the national E-learning Awards in 2006 for e-learning that they did for the Priory Group.

Great article - How Wikipedia Works (or Doesn't) that looks at Andrew McAfee's experiences around the " Enterprise 2.0 " article and Wikipedia 's Articles for Deletion process. It's an interesting discussion of the net impact of Wikipedia's process - which can be frustrating, especially to casual users. At the same time, I've also had some very good experiences such as when my 10-year old son updated Wikipedia.

It was great to see Mike Clayton in July’s issue of TJ putting the spotlight on Mehrabian’s 7-38-55 rule of communication – this has to be one of the most misquoted pieces of research in the world of L&D. The common fallacy is that the research is saying that only 7% of the impact of a presentation is down to the words, and that the visual and the vocal represent 55% and 38% of the message respectively.
