New training industry listserv scheduled for launch in August!
I just got word this week about the soon-to-be-launched Corporate Learning Forum, a global listserv designed for professionals in the training and organizational development industry.
The Corporate Learning Forum will serve as a repository for members to post questions about today's most challenging issues affecting the training industry. From questions about corporate university curriculum planning and instructional design methodologies to the latest trends in instructor-led, web-based and mobile learning. Given that we’re in the business of communicating, having access to a worldwide membership of chief learning officers, corporate training managers, instructional designers, instructional technologists, and training industry support professionals is welcome news! There isn’t much information yet on the website’s temporary “coming soon” page about the full website—which is being privately developed by a group of chief learning officers, instructional designers, instructional technologists and corporate trainers—but you can pre-register for a reduced membership fee. Check it out at www.corporatelearningforum.com!

Ms. Sweeney, I wanted to take a moment and tell you and your readers about a conference on LMA I attended Wednesday.
I had the pleasure of listening to a group of ladies and gentlemen Wednesday speak about what LMA, LMS, LMC and Hot Lava had affored them the opportunties to do.
I learned about ‘Chunking content into appropriate Nuggest for m-Learning.’ I found out there is a Mobile Content Developer Certification program in the works out of Singapore, that was very much interesting.
Listened to a sharp gentleman from Mem-Cards Corporation was there speaking on that product and how it was using LMA and Mobile Learning to get their product out to people. You can visit www.mem-cards.com and click on ’suggested uses for Mem-cards’ under ‘corporate programs’ to see what is available. We were given a sample of a set of cards they did for Club Med, using CM’s color scheme. What a great personal coaching tool these little cards are.
Heard a gentleman spoke about ‘Using LMA in solutions on higher education & capturing feedback.’ Speaking in relation to the University level and how these students were using their Razor phones, or even Ipods to help with their continued education.
And a very fascinating individual from Naois spoke about IMELS (Integrated Education and Learning System) enabling the disabled access, via mobile technology, the educational content they might need to become more independent. Did you know that 6.4M students are in some way utilizing some form of Assistive technology? These individuals have physical, cognitive, and speech disabilities.
60% of disabled students never use a computer, verses 25% of non-disabled students. 9:1 student have computers in urban areas. Less than 10% of disabled students have internet access (38%).
Also, the potential for this technology to be used in the Restaurant world to train new employees, or retrain old employees. It’s not just the Restaurant world, what of the Service area, HVAC service Techs, or even Auto mechanics. Tracking of inventory, performance evaluations, etc.
This is some pretty amazing stuff and I appreciate you allowing me to share.
