What blogging has become
Jul 15
A recent article in The Economist, The evolving blogosphere , clarified for me how blogs have changed over the past five years and where they now sit amongst the panoply of social media applications. Not so long ago it was thought, almost assumed, that everyone would ultimately run their own blog – it was just a question of time before we all found something to say, gathered up the courage and started spouting off our opinions to those two billion or so internet users out there

What blogging has become
I suspect that many of us find it hard to concentrate when we really need to put in a sustained effort to prepare a report or a presentation, read a document, write a script, create or edit media assets, generate code or assemble an e-learning module – in fact, all the things that e-learning people do most of the time. These tasks require single-minded concentration, sometimes over many hours, even days. How unfortunate, then, that in those times when we are less busy, we choose to install a whole load of apps that focus almost entirely on interrupting us – email, Twitter, Facebook et al.

Will we be forced to chase hot tools and social platforms to stay competitive? How the heck are we supposed to stay up to speed on all the latest stuff and be successful using it personally and professionally

This is post D, a milestone. In case you haven’t twigged, D is the Roman numeral representing the number 500, and that’s how many posts have been issued from Clive on Learning since October 2005. That’s roughly 10 posts a month.

Post D
There was some consternation on Twitter about the results of the survey that Alison Rossett and James Marshall conducted with 968 ASTD and eLearning Guild members in mid 2009. As the authors point out, if you went by the themes of most l&d conferences, blogs and magazines, then you’d believe the classroom was in terminal decline and that self-paced e-learning tutorials were being fast replaced by games, sims, 3D worlds, and all forms of social and collaborative learning, much of it mobile. Well, surprise, surprise, that seems like wishful thinking
