| Assessing learning technology predictions |
 London (UK), May 2012 - (by Bob Little) Making predictions is fun because you can do so in the fairly safe knowledge that no one will remember them. So you can say what you like because you’ll never be held to account for them. So I was delighted to discover that, about this time six years ago, Mark Harrison – formerly of Epic and now of Kineo – offered his predictions for learning technologies in 2012. He was speaking at a meeting of the eLearning Network – now known by the acronym, 'eLN'. [more...] |

| What Managers Learn about Older People |
 Karlsruhe/Münster (GER), November 2011 – Of course companies have to come to grips with demographic change, but how can older employees be convinced that their services are needed?

Germany’s Institute for Preventive Healthcare (Institut für gesundheitliche Prävention - IFGP) has an online training program for this purpose, and Managing Director Marc Lenze will explain in his talk at LEARNTEC why having manufacturing assembly lines run a bit slower is not enough.

| Conflicting signals in eLearning |
| London (UK), September 2011 - (by Bob Little) According to a report by virtual learning worlds and serious games’ specialists Ambient, there is a general slow down in spend on self-paced e-learning due to three market factors: 1) The commoditisation of platforms and tools, which reduces market price. 2) Pricing pressures in the corporate eLearning sector caused by the slow economic recovery. 3) The growing tendency for buyers to buy other types of learning technology products – such as virtual classroom technology - rather than an eLearning module.

| 'Little’s Britain' |
| Corporate eLearning’s dilemma with Government |
| London (UK), March 2011 - (by Bob Little) Technically, the UK Government – and there’s every reason to believe that other European governments take the same view - says that it wants to, and does, encourage small and medium sized companies (SMEs) to bid for, and get, Government contracts. The Government says that this will provide the taxpayer with greater value for money because SMEs tend to be more creative, flexible and so on – and also tend to be cheaper because they don’t have the overheads of a larger firm.
