Adult learning theory. We must be attentive to learning theory, period. There is no such thing as ADULT learning theory. You mention these attributes: [a] through the experiences they have; [b] through practice; [c] through conversations with colleagues and experts; and, [d] through reflecting on a, b, and c. <br /><br />Agreed. But it's what we would want for youth too, no?Allison Rossetthttp://www.allisonrossett.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-537267519793805240.post-19492135882295792732011-04-07T17:13:07.535+01:002011-04-07T17:13:07.535+01:00Thanks, Dan.

Instead of sharing the same regular theory and story about how we pay attention to the things we are interested in and that mean something to us, I told participants they could check out my blog-spot on why I see Citroen Xsara Picasso cars everywhere.<br /><br />2 seconds later I spotted a training participants whip out his iPhone and start reading the blog.<br /><br />The screenager in action!

For me it's "change or become irrelevant". Businesses will develop their own approaches to learning if learning departments fail to fill the gaps being created through new generations of learners and changes in organisations and technology.<br /><br />One critical key to success has to be executive sponsorship and education. CEOs need to understand the drivers for changing their learning departments as well. The challenge here is to find CLOs with the courage to admit change is necessary and then to champion that to the CEO level. <br /><br />I love the vision you've created. It's up to us to take it on and implement it in our organisations.Peter Davisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-537267519793805240.post-82709946585087450572010-09-21T03:41:00.564+01:002010-09-21T03:41:00.564+01:00It's not enough that cost effective training s...It's not enough that <a href="http://www.intelladon.com" rel="nofollow">cost effective training solutions</a> like elearning are taking over skills development, trainees have to take advantage of web 2.0 tools to further enhance their training even after formal training has ended. In collaborative learning, the trainees will have a more comprehensive insight on the new skills they acquire.EJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11899549833502006067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-537267519793805240.post-3819788792515772582010-08-10T08:59:55.852+01:002010-08-10T08:59:55.852+01:00Very well written article Charles.

They see no imperative to change what they do, and neither do most of their employees. The ones that do see the need for change just end up frustrated.<br /><br />As I said in the LinkedIn group about teachers using ICT - all the time they can be seen to be successful without changing the way they operate, they won't adopt new practices or technologies.<br /><br />You and I both believe that that's a short-sighted approach, but when you're judged on this year's balance sheet and don't look further ahead than that, then why change?Mark Berthelemyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17812278774682999567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-537267519793805240.post-1615867396951304922010-08-09T12:52:11.504+01:002010-08-09T12:52:11.504+01:00Great blog post Charles.
