Learning Technologies Show, London 30-31st January Successful but Schizophrenic The recent Learning Technologies conference and exhibition at Olympia on 30th & 31st January certainly maintained its recent reputation for a show with multiple personalities.

WOLCE Conference 10th/11th October – Review The recession has hit. This week the WOLCE conference at the NEC in Birmingham run by Venture Marketing Group was quieter than expected. There were over 60 stands, and more than 2000 pre-registrations, but it was obvious that there was some belt-tightening around. The large flashy stands from major vendors were missing, as were good indicators – the “freebies” given away in better times. Some of the vendors shared stand space with others, and in g

Draft IconArticleTowards a sustainable strategy for learning
Developing a broader perspective for learning seems to me to be vital to all organisations. As the pace of change increases and value-add increasingly comes from knowledge, having a sustainable strategy for learning becomes even more critical. The increasing rate of change of markets, organisations and products is leading to growing pressures for more and more learning, across the whole organisation. But at the same time, globalisation of business and mergers and acquisitions make companies more

The National Space Centre in Leicester has been open for about a year. A strange place to have a museum dedicated to the exploration of space. Leicester is not exactly Houston or Florida, but Helen Sharman came from the city, so there is some logic in the choice of location. In an attempt to entertain two 9-year old boys, we visited last weekend. The building is dedicated to interactivity, with a large number of physical challenges as well as some based on computers.

Draft IconArticlePicking Pilot Projects
When organisations initially start to explore the potential for e-learning, it is important that their initial experiences are positive and show real value. Whilst everyone talks about pilot projects as an obvious thing, often the reality is somewhat different. Obvious pilots often turn out to be not particularly useful or successful, or if they are, turn out not to interest the business very much. It is critical to get the right combination of appropriateness, achievability and business value i
