We are then doing a workshop together at the Corporate University Technology Assisted Learning Conference on May 24th called "Learning in 3D: Adding a New Dimension to Enterprise Learning and Collaboration"
Meridian Know and Learn Conference
A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of working with the great folks at Meridian on a panel discussing learning trends. I was on a panel with Mark Bower and Susan Smith Nash. It was a lot of fun discussion whether or not we thought a trend was "fact" or "fiction."
Here are some photographs from the panel discussion.
Mark, Karl and Susan prepare for audience questions.
We considered switching seats to have some fun with the audience:)
Susan makes a point to Karl and Mark about Social Media.
Last week I attended the Kaplan-EduNeering Knowledge Summit and once again had a great time. It was the Seventh Annual Summit and I believe I have attended all seven. And speaking of "seven." I had the opportunity to meet Jeffrey Hollender the executive Chairman and Chief Inspired Protagonist of the Seventh Generation Corporation which is a company that is committed to creating authentic, safe, and environmentally-responsible products for a healthy home.
I also had a chance to have a few moments with the fascinating, interesting and highly educated Bror Saxberg, the Chief Learning Officer of Kaplan, Inc. His vision for the future of education is exciting, interesting and will be scary for traditional institutions. The data that Kaplan will be able to collect in the near future concerning student performance, learning methods and strategies and the delivery of content to life-long learners is staggering. It will be an exciting and unsettling time in higher education in the next 5-10 years when Bror begins to mine the data and opportunities within Kaplan.

And, at the Knowledge Summit, Kaplan-EduNeering and ProtonMedia announced a strategic partnership.
