As part of my talk Moving from Training to Collaborative Learning I talked about how to reinforce learning in a seminar by following it up with assignments and discussion.  If you came to the talk and would like to participate in that, or if are interested in the topic.  Please fill-out the comment info below, and I will include you on some e-mailed assignments to help with the follow up and reinforcement of the session.  This will provide a nice Blended Learning solution for our talk. 

There was also some talk about doing a Second Life meeting in the future.  That is new for me, so if you are interested, let me know and we can set something up.  It is always fun to try out new technologies for learning and collaboration.

I was talking to a colleague about a seminar we both attended recently.  We each enjoyed the seminar and took away a few key pieces of information, but it had been so jam packed with info that we both felt that we hadn’t been able to take advantage of everything that was covered.

This led to a long discussion on how I would re-design the seminar into a blended learning process to help improve the knowledge retention of all of the participants.  As I started to write it up, I realized it was too long for one post, so I’ve broken it down into a couple of steps.
