eLearning Learning Site Launch

I am honored to be "featured" in Tony Karrer's re-branded eLearning Learning site. As he described it to me, this is a hub where he will pull together content from various members of the eLearning world and make it more easily accessible to people who are searching and/or who want to stay up to date, but who don't use an RSS reader (or want someone to help filter).

I have added a widget to my sidebar (scroll down to eLearning Learning Labels on the right side of the page) that automatically searches all my posts for certain keywords/tags/labels. If you click on a label in that list you will go to the eLearning Learning site where you will see all of my posts on that topic followed by posts from the other featured bloggers. For example, if you click the Wiki label in that list, it will take you here: http://www.elearninglearning.com/wiki/&source=work-2.0-blog. Check it out!

I used Tony's BrowseMyStuff site fairly frequently before this re-branding, and I found it to be an invaluable resource. Poke around when you have some time and I'm sure you'll find something you can use.

eLearning Guild Summer Seminar Series

I'm in Chicago through Tuesday for the eLearning Guild's Summer Seminar Series. More specifically, I'm attending the Collaborative Learning workshop. As described on the Guild's website:

Join Mark Oehlert and Brent Schlenker for a comprehensive look at Web2.0 technologies impacting the learning landscape of YOUR organization. And it WILL impact your organization. This not a question of “IF” but of “WHEN.” The influx of technologies like blogs, wikis, and RSS into the enterprise is a trickle that will grow into a flood in the coming year. Other “2.0” pieces like social bookmarking, tagging and enterprise-level Mashups are changing the way learning organizations think about their learning solutions, development processes, delivery methods, and adding value to their customers. The real hard part is that most of the challenges here are cultural and not technological.

Considering the topic, it seems like a good idea for me to blog about what I'm learning, possibly during the day since we were encouraged to bring our laptops, but certainly at the end of each day back at the hotel.

I'll also be trying to use Twitter to post short "microblog" updates throughout each day, either from my laptop or from my Blackberry. You can either follow me on Twitter, or you can see the most recent 15 tweets on the right side of this page.
