Learning Technologies 2018: The Inside Track with David Perring

On the eve of Learning Technologies, and the day that the initial headlines of the 2018 Digital Learning Realities research are shared for the first time, I talk to Fosway Group’s director of research, David Perring, veteran of too many years’ attendance to mention, and who is delivering two sessions in this year’s conference. KG:…

HR Tech World San Francisco: Links and Resources

I couldn’t make it to the inaugural HR Tech World San Francisco this week. But despite the FOMO I have been able to keep up with the insights shared via social media. So for others that couldn’t get there, or those that are but couldn’t be in several places at once, I have curated as…

7 people you need to know at the Learning Technologies Summer Forum 2017

Somehow is already time for the annual Learning Technologies Summer Forum. Hopefully since the main event in February, we’ve all been putting into practice what we heard at Learning Technologies 2017, but the Summer Forum offers a unique opportunity to catch some sessions you might have missed and to hear new content from a number…

Day two at Learning Live 2016

I’m exhausted (in a good way) after what was to my mind, the strongest Learning Live event yet in terms of content and take aways. There were several clashes of sessions that meant I couldn’t get to see everyone I wanted to which is a good problem to have. My head is bursting and there…

Day one at Learning Live 2016

Well, half a day has never passed so quickly. I arrived in London and before I knew it, it was gone 9pm and Alex Watson had taken to the stage with her band Bastedo to sing us out of a stimulating first day at Learning Live. And in some style might I add. I caught…

Inside #LearningLive with Ed Monk

As I prepared for this year’s Learning Live event, it struck me that the Learning and Performance Institute (LPI) go to great lengths so make their flagship conference stand out from the crowd. It keeps evolving every year and initiatives like providing personalised learning agendas and lecture free zones show how the Institute is walking…

Looking ahead to #LearningLive 2016

There’s a distinct ‘back to school’ vibe around here this week. After an August where I didn’t go on holiday, but seemingly everybody else did, it’s all of a sudden noisy on my networks again. And I have the first event of the new ‘school year’ to look forward to: Learning Live, the annual conference…

Are all algorithms created equal?

I have noticed a trend recently. I am using Instagram more and more. Partly because I have just started renovating a Victorian house, so am sharing more visual content as we go through the different building/decorating/interior design aspects of that process. Partly because I am also enjoying consuming the visual content of the people I…

Learning Technologies Summer Forum 2016

Well somehow I blinked at the start of February this year, and time has already flown by to June. Which of course means it’s time for the annual Learning Technologies Summer Forum. Our commitment to sharing the best of all the action from both the conference and this exhibition remains as strong as ever. The…
