Editor’s note: Data is everywhere and we are generating it all the time. It is also freely available if we know how to extract it from our various systems. So what are we going to do with this data in HR and L&D? Sukh Pabial asks the question and presents some scenarios. One thing is for sure – this is an area of huge potential for organisations but it will require looking well beyond one’s business silo in order to act on it effectively.
Editor’s note: A slide deck from Jane Hart’s recent presentation to the Canadian Society of Training and Development’s Conference on social media and social learning. Worth looking at the traits of a ‘smart worker’.
Editor’s note: Worth keeping an eye on how tech hardware is developing and how that could impact human interaction with devices. This article is a useful, future looking primer.
Editor’s note: A review of the Tin Can API by Mike Rustici, whose company Rustici Software is responsible for developing Tin Can.
Editor’s note: All of these videos are worth a look – a great piece of curation here and a valuable set of videos.
Editor’s note: Great article on how to write a book with 20 others in the room at the same time – kind of crowd source project with the crowd pulled together physically. Not only does the article look at how the process worked but also what tech was used to author the book. Could L&D do this within an organisation or for itself even?
Editor’s note: A great list and a great resource – 100 elearning peeps on Twitter. and it’s only part one . . .
Editor’s note: No surprises here but what are organisations to do when colleagues are learning to and from work and when they are ‘out of office hours’?
Editor’s note: The potential of the Tin can API is beginning to emerge with tools like this that can help record, and put a value on, the under the radar learning that learners get up to.
Editor’s note: Another great list from Edudemic which offers something for everyone – from education to on the job skills support.
Editor’s note: A look at web design developments that affect the user experience.
Editor’s note: Clive Shepherd pulls together all the articles he has been writing this year on transformation in workplace learning. Lots of good reads here.
Editor’s note: research lifts the lid on our unconscious bias and how it can affect the way we relate people even if we consciously don’t feel the same way. Includes a look at how organisations are creating learning interventions around this subject.
Editor’s note: Stephanie Dedhar’s review of Elliot Masie’s Learning 2012 conference. Interesting comments on the conference app – something conference organisers are starting to provide.
Editor’s note: A look at IBM’s 16 year intranet journey and how it has moved from a ‘consumption’ model to a ‘participation’ model. Lots of useful stats and links in this article too.
