I've just joined Jane Hart's Workplace Learning 2.0 community and immediately posted a request for case studies of successful implementation. Within half an hour of doing this, I was brought back down to earth by a reality check in the form of Norman Lamont's eLearning 2.0 ruminations. I'm interested to know whether Norman's alone in feeling a massive disconnect between where he'd like to see workplace learning going and where his organisation is now.
Perhaps this is why, almost exactly three years ago, I recommended learning 1.5.
I feel I should I join that 'Workplace Learning 2.0', but you are the only interesting looking person in the gallery of pictures.
ReplyDeleteWhere are the young people?
I work in the higher education sector and I'd say the majority of stuff we do at my institution is what I'd call elearning 2.0, particularly wikis. There is no major demand for tutorial based elearning. In the business world there is a very large disconnect between what is written in blogs like yours and what actually happens in RL.Many users' machines still do not have sound cards, plug-ins have to be fought for and social networking, well not where I've worked recently.Rob Alton
ReplyDeleteFrom a Scottish point of view, Normans experience is probably little different from many large organisations (public and private sector).
ReplyDeleteThere are some examples of good practice, but for the majority, they're still peddling what they were 5 or 10 years ago.
