    I like future predictions. They are often incorrect but they do get you thinking and I am sure they cause spin off ideas. For me I just like looking at different things as they give me ideas to explore. Unfortunately not many of them get past my imagination but who knows when one is going…

    Please read this article first. I would like to see this even though I have seen similar set-ups in my travels but not on this grand scale. Would you like to work there? I know I would. What does this mean for the future of Universities and colleges etc. Apple released yesterday that they have…

      What is the Big Merge? It is coming. For some it might even be here. It is when the internet, television, online games, social media and learning all come together seamlessly and we don’t even notice.  I don’t think it s far away. The technology is almost there and the generation shift is occurring.…

    The digital wave keeps rolling on and with it we all have to confront certain changes. Some of those changes will be great and some will take a little bit of getting used to. How do you feel about digital textbooks? I am a big fan even though I am surrounded as I write this…

    I am obviously a big fan of the iPad. I wish I had one of these when I was in school. My wife, who is not a huge tech user loves it as well. She likes the way you can just flick it on and check something. Of course there are also lots of apps,…

    There is no doubt that the internet is where the future of training and assessment is located but when and what it will look like are still the two big questions. When is an illusive question as it has been predicted many times before and has always been inaccurate. Elearning keeps smoldering away, just waiting…

    What should we be teaching to young people that will equip them for the future? Much of the training I carry out is for a specific purpose, with a specific outcome in mind. Is that useful in a world that is rapidly and constantly changing? The question for everyone is are we gearing people up…

    Here is a good article about gaming and education. It’s not new. It’s not telling us anything that hasn’t been told to us for quite a few years but it does get straight to the point. Why hasn’t gaming, education and training come together. It must be a perfect match? Well isn’t it? I think…

    A number of people I know are learning how to facilitate online learning. At first glance you may think, well apart from the technology there isn’t a great deal of difference. To a certain extent this is true as you are still teaching, still attempting to explain new content and achieve certain learning outcomes but…

    Here is a great new website which allows you to take learning classes and setup your own classes and charge people to take them. It looks easy and I will be having play with this in April when I get a small break. I found this through a blog post in Mashable which did generate…
