Long overdue I know, but here it is...
Chris Bones has no small task ahead of him with the Learning & Development Research Project. He has stated in no uncertain terms that the answer lies with people, and getting them engaged with process from the outset. Concentrating on social interaction and problem solving skills will get us half way there straightaway. The rest lies in thoughtful implementation and the winning of hearts and minds. This is something I agree wholeheartedly with. Too often people are expected to follow the example of leaders without question, but as we move into an era where the case study has become irrelevant, the power of crowdsourcing is about to come to the fore - if only we dare to let it!
One point of contention I had was with his perception that online learning is only useful for updating information, and I noticed that a few eyebrows were raised on Twitter at this comment. Some perceptions need to be changed here...
