November's Big Question on the Learning Circuits Blog has been posted. The question this month is: Are ISD / ADDIE / HPT relevant in a world of rapid elearning, faster time-to-performance, and informal learning? To me, this is one of the most important questions facing us today.

There’s a new Big Question on the Learning Circuits blog and it’s about questions. It builds on a great posting by George Siemens in which he describes Questions I’m no longer asking , in other words what issues are now so cut and dried that to keep questioning them would be a waste of energy.

I'm happy to announce that several thought leaders have joined together with me to revitalize the Big Question. Holly's been tinkering in the learning field for over 15 years in a variety of roles. We will likely be trying some different things over the next few months. What exactly, we aren't sure. We'll figure it out as we go.

it's time for the Big Question! Does Gamification have a role in Workplace Learning? We've been researching, experimenting and implementing solutions that embrace both social and game-like behaviour for the last couple of years and we've seen some stunning results. But more of that later.

First thought: Perhaps, if you see yourself carrying out a consultative role. Of course some needs will still have to be met using a face-to-face classroom approach, but that won't keep everyone who's currently a classroom trainer in a job, unless you want to earn half as much. Or should I re-train as a learning technologist?

The Learning Circuits Big Question is how do we address the "I want it now" demand from stakeholders. I make it a point to inform stakeholders of the process involved, provide a timeline and project management form that helps give them an idea of when deliverables occur and what their roles and responsibilities are in the process.

The March Big Question on the Learning Circuits Blog asks why it is that open content initiatives such as the OER Commons and the Open Courseware Consortium haven't had a bigger impact. I have some suggestions: There is no history or culture of content sharing in workplace learning and development.

The big question becomes what metrics do we apply for learning, since every learner will build out their own learning materials. How do you build tests if everybody uses a different version of the content? Those organizations that can curate and make sense of business critical information the quickest, get the competitive edge.

The Big Question for March on the Learning Circuits Blog is 'what is the scope of our responsibility as learning professionals?' I don't regard this question as just a topical response to the increased interest in informal learning - it's an issue that has been there as long as we have had learning professionals.

solutions where a course might play a role instead of creating just courses. Plug-in to your internal corporate social media, play an active role in them, seed and harvest information through them. It’s not that courses have completely lost their value, but they can only have value as a part of an effective e-Learning solution.
