About

Welcome to a daily newsletter/blog on workplace learning from Brandon Hall Research. This is a group effort by Brandon Hall Research analysts Richard Nantel, Kristina Schneider, Tom Werner, Anya Wood, and Gary Woodill to provide readers with a daily summary of news, events, commentary, and research on all aspects of workplace learning, including training and development, performance support, job aids, learning technologies, talent management, organizational learning, and adult education. We think that there is a need for such a publication to cover the changing world of workplace learning. We will be scanning blogs, web pages, magazines and other news sources, and welcome suggestions for new sources that we might not know about.

This blog was inspired by Stephen Downes’ daily newsletter on e-learning, OLDaily. Stephen covers and comments on many topics, including school-based and post-secondary education, learning technologies, personal learning, philosophy of learning, and the politics of the learning industry and government policies. He rarely writes about corporate training, although he is often critical of corporations. We don’t see ourselves being competitive with Stephen’s important contributions, but complementary.

The core group producing this newletter/blog is associated with Brandon Hall Research, and each of us plans to maintain our individual blogs. We welcome contributions from others on newsworthy items that may be of interest to our readers. Please send items to Gary Woodill – gary AT brandon-hall.com.
