Dublin, June 2006 - The Future of Learning will be the focus of a special two-day event featuring best-selling author Malcolm Gladwell (Blink and The Tipping Point), Nigel Paine, Head of People Development at the BBC, and Elliott Masie, founder of the Learning CONSORTIUM. Learning Futures will take place in Dublin, Ireland at Trinity College, July 10-11.
Learning Futures will focus on Global Learning. As the world gets "flatter", the way in which organizations train their employees and distribute knowledge changes rapidly. As we enter the age of Fingertip Knowledge, our learning shifts from classrooms to Google, from "sages on the stage" to more collaborative forms of learning.
The topics to be addressed at Learning Futures include the Globalization of Learning, Mobile and Device Learning, Gaming for Learning, Analytics and Metrics for Learning, Open Source, Learning Disrupters, The Changing Learning Marketplace, New Roles and Functions for Learning Professionals, and many more!
Senior Human Resource Executives, Training Managers, and key business leaders from around the world will be participating in this small conference, aimed at preparing organizations for a changing workforce and changing economy. Learning Futures is hosted by Elliott Masie's Learning CONSORTIUM, a coalition of 227 global organizations, including BP, Bank of America, Cathay Pacific, Emirates Airlines, and Ericsson.
"Learning Futures will bring together corporate executives to discuss and plan for the changing workplace. We are excited to host Learning Futures at Trinity College. It is only fitting that we meet in one of the oldest educational campuses to discuss tomorrow's learning models and approaches," said Elliott Masie, the host of this event.
