Dr. Bhaskar Chatterjee, the chief guest at the CLO Summit India earlier this month, spoke that mistakes should be part of a learning organization’s culture. That resonated strongly with me. I have written about how we all learn more from mistakes. At Upside Learning do ask all our employees to not be afraid of making mistakes.
Upside Learning sponsored the inaugural CLO Summit India at the end of last week. My partner Amit Gautam and I attended the summit and came back satisfied with the level of participation seen at this inaugural summit. Overall we felt it was a great inaugural event that pulled in some respected names to speak. There were some equally respected names in the audience too. We feel the CLO Summit has the potential to grow into a premier HR event in India focused around L&D. If the organizers can build a community around this , it will be even more wonderful. We of course, are happy to have assisted the first edition in our little way.
Mobile Learning has finally come of age. It’s been on the horizon for many years, but now with bandwidth available for mobiles & the devices themselves are becoming more capable to start competing with computers in processing capabilities, it’s finally here! We believe mobile learning has the potential to truly become anywhere, anytime, for anyone learning. My colleague Abhijit Kadle has written about the myths of mobile learning earlier and also posted a great list of top 50 mobile learning resources. We have worked on some projects for our clients to create small learning modules delivered to mobile devices and game-like quizzes. These are exciting times for mLearning.
Trawling through my feeds earlier this weeks I came across this link-up post by Ricard Nantel over at the Workplace Learning Blog pointing to a blog post on Harvard Business Publishing about six social media trends.
Worth a quick recount:
Upside Learning is happy to be associated with the inaugural CLO Summit India.
I’ve spent an inordinately long time writing a whitepaper on mobile learning trying to expound our thoughts about it and how it might be used in the workplace. I’ve been doing some research around it and I’ve documented some of the better links I’ve come across. Again, as with the links I posted about Games and Simulation, these aren’t categorized in any way nor does the order assume any significance.
