Web 2.0 for Learning Professionals
First off, an apology. There’s been nothing here but Twitter and delicious feeds for weeks. We lost power and Internet for almost an entire week in there as well. (There’s nothing like when a hurricane hits … Ohio.) I’ve also just been rather uninspired lately. It happens – blogger writer’s block. I haven’t conquered that yet, but I do want to tell you about an upcoming, and FREE, event.
Web 2.0 for Learning Professionals is being offered by Tony Karrer’s Work Literacy group (this includes Michele Martin and Harold Jarche) in combination with the eLearning Guild. According to Tony’s blog, this event is a
… 6-week, highly active, social learning event will introduce you to
new methods and tools. It will be moderated by Michele Martin and
Harold Jarche, with help from Tony Karrer. This is your opportunity to
ramp up your understanding of Learning 2.0 technologies prior to DevLearn 2008
so that you can participate better either in-person or as an outside
spectator, and to interact and learn with people who are passionate
about learning.
Tony has a schedule of topics on his blog and you can pop in and out whenever you please. It’s elearning at its finest, with activities completed at your own pace. The group is using Ning to facilitate the learning. I’m a big fan of Ning (as I wrote about here) and I use it for several sites, including a personal site, a charity site, and another non-profit site I currently have in progress.
You certainly don’t have to be going to DevLearn to participate, so I highly recommend signing up and just popping in occasionally to see
what’s happening, or ideally, participating the whole time.
