This year I have been reading a lot about the following strategies and methodologies currently used to enhance learning.
For 2009 I am still focusing on self development. These are the areas that I want to continue to delve into. All are fascinating. Some are old hat, just repackaged in a 21st century way...gaming has been around forever. However, corporate America and the government are now starting to embrace it. Karl Kapp does a wonderful job addressing effective learning techniques to use with gaming. Additionally, last year there was a fantastic workshop at the ASTD conference on Virtual Learning using Second Life (Where are my SLers?? raise your arm...your whole arm, lol).
I especially would like to explore mobile learning more. I just recently discovered that there were training videos on Youtube.com that can be viewed on your mobile device...duhhhh (Ok, I had a ditz moment with that one). My son and I actually learned how to change a front headlight on a car. It was a comical scene; me, him, the car, the headlight, and my Blackberry. Surprisingly, I think it is actually training that will stick with us. I don't know why I didn't realize that earlier... Nevertheless, I am sure there has been research of how to effectively train using mobile devices. In fact I am 100% sure of it.
Anyway, this is 2009's mission. So expect to see more information about these trends.
