I commented last April about the formation of Learning Light, when the job of Chief Executive was originally advertised. At that time PA Consulting had the contract for getting Learning Light established, procuring a web site for it, and commissioning some "research reports" for Learning Light to subsequently provide to users of its services. (I wrote two of these with David Kay, David Jennings, Camilla Umar, and Liz Wallis.)
Earlier this year Learning Light appointed Jane Knight - founder of the e-learning centre - as Head of Research, and Vaughan Waller - of the e-learning network - as Head of Membership Services. Astute decisions, since each of them brings with them a network of contacts and a lot of exerience and credibility. In addition, Donald Clark, original founder of Epic plc, who sometimes comments on posts in Fortnightly Mailing, and who did a Guest Contribution in March, has joined the Learning Light board of directors.
Learning Light's web site is now properly live, rather better designed and with less hyperbole than before. If you register on the site you will be sent by email links to 3 of the "research reports" referred to above. These are:
- Enterprise Learning 2006 Trends, Focus Areas, and Predictions for 2006 - written for Learning Light by Bersin Associates;
- At Cross Purposes - Why e-learning and knowledge management don’t get along - by Patrick Dunn and Mark Iliff;
- Generating Demand for E-learning: the 21st Century Citizen - by David Jennings, David Kay and Seb Schmoller.
Here is a direct link to Generating Demand for E-learning [400 kB PDF]. Thanks to Learning Light for permission to point directly to the report. Feedback on it would be most welcome.
