I wasn’t able to go to London for the Learning Technologies 2010 Conference, so I am grateful that Amit Garg of Upside Learning was able to attend and summarize some of the messages and the innovations shown at the conference. These include:
Lord David Putnam, Chancellor of the Open University said in his keynote, “We need to prepare our children for the right skills and the current education system is not good enough for that.”
Jane Hart believes that “social learning is coming like a revolution.”
Peter Butler, Director of Learning at British Telecom shared how BT has implemented social learning across the enterprise.
We have heard these thoughts from prophets and bloggers, but this conference shows that they are becoming mainstream. Look at the videos and read the post – and look for part 2 next week. (GW)
