A. Ramani
How is computer useful to rural village girl child who is deprived socially, economically and academically in a country like India?
( A. Ramani, faculty member, ICFAI university)
Tony Karrer
- How does eLearning 2.0 relates to informal learning, knowledge management, enterprise 2.0, library 2.0?
- Skills for work and learning in a web 2.0 world?
Minhaaj ur Rehman
- How does E-learning as a strategic initiative can cope with change management and ramification of volatile economic conditions to come out as independent and effective learning process?
- Given the costs of education in both f2f and e-learning universities, is capitalistic and greed-based education trying to capture this universal and free form of education too ? If so, how to prevent the assimilation of this domain from usurpation?
Jay Cross
- Is there utility in treating training, KM, OD, social networking, et alia as separate disciplines? It's an interdisciplinary world.
- How can corporate CFOs reconcile ROI hurdles (which do not include intangibles) with the reality that intangibles are usually worth three to eight times more than tangible assets?
Rich Hoeg
This online conference is a wonderful idea. Thanks for taking the initiative.
- I offer myself up as a speaker. My preferred topic would be:
Using Web 2.0 Tools for Learning and Collaboration at Honeywell.
- As just one example ... I've just brought online an [engineering learning wiki].
Clark Quinn
- How do organizations know when to introduce what? If we assume, per Tony's question, that eLearning 2.0 is relevant, what should you use when?
- How do organizations break down the silos and barriers to really deliver on the promises of collaboration?
- (and a personal question) How do we move beyond just making 'smart' decisions in the moment, and start making wise decisions that stand the test of time?
Cathy Moore
- Blurring the distinction between course & reference: I'm developing tools that are course/wiki combinations and see a lot of potential in this approach.
- Translating research into practice: Can we increase the quality of elearning by making research more widely known and respected? I'm thinking of things like challenging the practice of reading displayed text aloud to the learners, which research seems to discourage yet which appears to be the default approach in many companies.
Michele Martin
- Using private social networks like Ning as learning communities--happy, also, to facilitate a discussion on this as I've been working in this direction on a few projects.
- Connecting personal learning goals and objectives with corporate learning and goals--how to find and leverage the intersection between these two.
- Corporate strategies for encouraging/developing individuals as learners.
Josh LeFebvre
- Using technologies to maintain/build virtual communities of practice - not just for info sharing, but for true collaboration on community/volunteer projects (e.g. develop new tips/tricks guide for practice; write a white paper)
- Managing culture, change, adoption of wiki, blog, and other social technologies - especially in an industry stereotyped (perhaps rightly so?) as being conservative, rigorous, permission and heirarchy based.
- Stemming from above - creating mindshift from information is power to be kept, wielded, lorded to information is potential knowledge to be gained, improved upon, shared.
- Managing collaborative technologies in highly regulated environments and/or how to handle "liability" of content presented as "fact" (if even only implied) - how is content and attributed sources "verified and validated"?
- Is there really a Gen Y variance issue when comparing to preceding generations re: learning, information management, performance management, org structure, and adoption of web 2?
Terry Christian-Quinton
- Here is a topic I would like to see discussed:
When is Rapid Development NOT appropriate?
I see a huge amount of focus these days on the trend towards Rapid Development. While it can be a good method, I think some organizations are going with Rapid Development when the type of training they are trying to provide is not best suited to that method. It would be great to see something explaining when it is best to do custom development (with proper instructional design) and when rapid development is appropriate.
Basically: Is the trend of using Rapid Development for some types of content causing learners to receive ineffective training?
- An overview of eLearning 2.0 for those who may not be familiar with what it is about.
Inge de Waard
- How do organizations keep in touch with the latest eLearning2.0 trends and when do you know a trend is going to last and will allow ROI?
- Strategies, practical cases on how knowledge workers can get more time to keep track of eLearning2.0 (ensure the management of the soundness of the investment)
Dave Johnsen
One of the big selling points of tools like Articulate, etc., is that you can update classes rapidly if the underlying need changes. While this is true, and you can train new learners in the correct information right away, it does nothing for the learners already out the door.
A topic for discussion:
What methods have you successfully used to ensure that new/changed information is in the knowledge base of learners who have previously received the training in a particular module?
Regards,

As a rule, the simpler individual behaviors guidelines are, the more complex character collective behavior has. In new Web 2.0 environment an organizer of joint network projects ever oftener plays the role of school adviser that observes students group behavior, and not an officer who controls everybody's actions. We have introduced “flock adviser” term to emphasize gregarious character of modern network communities. Such adviser, first of all, extends students' field of vision, helps them trace each others' activity lines. The further students can see, the more they know of actions of other group members, the clearer they understand directions, in which other participants move, and the sooner overall direction is formed.
A topic for discussion:
- What methods have we use for better vision of group behaviour inside such media as blogs and wikis
