Meister’s recent column, “The CEO as Chief Blogger:” “[I]n an organization where a number of people are responsible for talking to customers at multiple levels, it seems to me that a blog would be a good way to both promote internal culture and direction while also communicating with customers and helping them understand our company direction, services, products, etc.” Registered site members can comment on any feature or blog on the Chief Learning Ofﬁcer magazine Web site.

Recent posts have addressed topics such as mobile learning, leadership development and the importance of engagement. A post from July titled “Creative Destruction in the Learning Industry” asked readers whether previous paradigms of learning had been replaced in recent years by newer models. CLOmedia.com member Connie Twynham responded afﬁrmatively. “Disposable technology demands faster and more relevant learning than what can be designed and delivered using old ADDIE methodologies of yesterday,” she said. “Users of the technology demand more intuitive products that don’t require ‘training’ but more ‘help’-like functionality when they need the help, not 6 weeks ago or 6 months ago. Interactive help aids that are dynamically accessible and contextually relevant to the task at hand and where possible on the device in question have taken over from the traditional learning environment. Is it creative? Extremely! Is the thinking aligned with organizational goals? You bet!” Check out Twynham’s comments or add your own at http://www.clomedia.com/cloblog/2008/July/2288/index.php. “Disposable technology demands faster and more relevant learning than what can be designed and delivered using old ADDIE methodologies of yesterday.” – CLOmedia.com member Connie Twynham 12 Chief Learning Ofﬁcer • September 2008 • www.clomedia.com http://www.clomedia.com http://www.clomedia.com/podcast http://www.clomedia.com/clo-blog http://www.clomedia.com/talent.php?pt=signup http://www.clomedia.com/talent.php?pt=signup http://www.clomedia.com/on-the-web http://CLOmedia.com http://infozone.clomedia.com http://infozone.clomedia.com/webex http://www.clomedia.com/cloblog/2008/July/2288/index.php http://infozone.clomedia.com/webex http://www.clomedia.com/subscribe http://www.clomedia.com/cloblog/2008/July/2288/index.php http://www.clomedia.com/subscribe http://CLOmedia.com http://www.clomedia.com
